AJAX Provides Fast Navigation in ACT! Premium for Web

ACT! Premium for Web makes extensive use of AJAX to provide data navigation that is both highly interactive and fast. In ACT! Premium for Web, you navigate through a number of entity details that are presented in a consistent layout. ACT! Premium for Web follows a design pattern of creating the presentation layer with non-data-bound controls, so the browser asynchronously fetches the entity fields from the server and populates the presentation layer on the client side. Using this pattern, as you navigate through the entity details, only the entity data is updated on the browser side. The layout controls are simply re-populated with the new data, not re-drawn or re-created. The result is a highly interactive user experience and a reduced server load.
