An AJAX Application

Is there a simple way to find out if an AJAX application has stopped exchanging information to/from the server?

Is there a simple way to find out if an AJAX application has stopped exchanging information to/from the server?

As you know, AJAX applications autonomously exchange information with the supporting web server stack. As a result, you may be doing something elsewhere on your desktop but the browser may be continually exchanging information, without you seeing that at all.

The surest way to confirm that traffic has stopped is to use some kind of "protocol sniffer" that can watch the I/O activity at the HTTP/S layer. That's not something that eValid can do.

If, however, you know something about how the AJAX application was built and you know, for example, that when a data exchange is going on that a particular element property takes on a particular value, then eValid can check for that. Such a check can be either positive or negative; that is, you could use one of the ValidateNot... or SyncNot... variants of the vaildation and synchronization commands.
