I am very interested in developing RIAs. So I just wanted to know you opinions of each of them. I have a good foundation of XHTML and CSS, so is AJAX better?
-How compatible are they?
-How well do they handle images and animations?
-How flexible and versatile are they?
-Integration with the web/HTML/XML.
-Learning curve.
-Pros and Cons.
-Advices?
BTW, what's the difference between Jscript and Javascript?
Thanks for your replies.

Because of its use across different platforms and ease of use, AJAX is chosen by developers going from beginers to experts. An article that gives an overview of this topic can be found at http://topcweb.com/content/site-anim...aries-vs-flash

You've titled this thread ajax vs flash so I will presume you mean ajax better than flash or v.v.
This question is far from a standing one, because it compares the same as if you've said "HTML document vs PDF" which one is better.
A completely different class of applications. Same with ajax vs flash.
but from you experience you will know that if certain "plug-ins" are installed you'll be able to preview pdf inside the html document, same goes with flash. If you have flash applications installed you will be able to preview them inside your html, otherwise youll see an empty box reserved for it - or nothing at all.
They don't compare. So if you are talking about WWW, -ajax is "better".
But what is AJAX?

It doesn't require installation. It goes comes as content and is a part of it. In fact, Ajax is nothing but a 'skin' of web technology - flash is not!
AJAX: An external coat of existing plain javascript, html, css and that special object known as XMLHttpRequest. Nothing else.
While Flash is an application the can be plugged into a web browser.
