some help needed

Hello, I want to upgrade my form filling process and make it user
interactive. From what i've been reading i guess I need to use AJAX for
this to work. I want to do simple stuff like user entering the username
upon registration and the page tells him right away whether the input
is valid and whether this username is already taken without refreshing
the page. Also with this technology does javascript have to be enabled?
I also want to be able to add markers onto google maps from a zip code
that the user enters. thanks for your help.

AJAX is, indeed, what you are looking for here and yes you need
javascript enabled. AJAX stands for Asyncrounous Javascript And XML so
the javascript is kind of implied.

It's not too hard just do "AJAX TUTORIAL" search on google. There are
tons of very good pages that will get you started. If you need a
little more scalability you can check out my page which presently has a
nice little Ajax article on it while it waits for me to stop
procrastinating and get around to threading the mysql backend so I can
start writing other bloggy type things.
I also want to be able to add markers onto google maps from a zip code
that the user enters. thanks for your help.
For that you'll need to read google's api: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/

Good luck!

You can just google for a premade set with many functions on what you'd want,
like Prototype, or Dojo.
