Initiates an HTTP request to server, and receives data An event handler in JavaScript for the form submit is triggered, and JavaScript sends an HTTP request to the server that includes the search term the user typed in. In an Ajax context, the response from the server is not necessarily HTML meant to be displayed directly, but is data.
Formats and Displays Data on the Page The JavaScript that is part of the page is used to format the data into markup, and then place this newly created markup on the page itself so that it is displayed to the user.
