Html - ajax

[rohitanu]

Can we integrate HTML directly with AJAX support or do we need a server side scripting to enable the AJAX support in it?

Ajax does not need to be server side scripting. In simple description, Ajax is Javascript plus the addition of being able to interpret http requests.

I don't know more about ajax.
just knowing where to use.
can you give good tutorial site for that?

AJAX is considered client-side language so there is no need for a server side language to use.
AJAX is best if you use a JavaScript Library, I strongly recommend JQuery if you are starting out but both MooTools and Prototype are excellent as well. One thing to be aware of AJAX is just a form of JavaScript and a good foundation in JavaScript is essential before you attempt to write too complex of a script.
After saying all that there is an excellent video tutorial for jQuery for beginners on a site called themeForest. This would be an excellent place to start
