  • Applets provide features like custom data streaming, graphic manipulation, threading, and advanced GUIs which AJAX cannot.
  • However, with the help of DHTML, the functionalities of AJAX can be extended further.
  • AJAX requires that the browser be DHTML and AJAX capable.
  • AJAX-based functionality does need to take browser differences into consideration due to which using a JavaScript library such as Dojo which abstracts browser differences is recommended.
  • AJAX/DHTML works well for applications where the latest browsers are used.
