  Hi,
  
  It looks like there is no flaw in the Ajax model, for the example you mentioned could have been tried with the Non-Ajax Model also and still the application could have been suspectible to Sql Injection attack, which is a basic attack, the basic flaw that i saw was the programmer should have used the Parameterized commands instead of inline sql queries or better still the 3-Tier Architecture using Parameterized commands, which the most basic and common-sense approach to develop Web Applications.
  
  I don't think that having Ajax will save the programmer from the Sql Injection Attack!
  because Ajax was not designed to secure the programmer from these attacks. I think it is stupid to even think in this directions,...."... that why the application is still suspectible to Sql Injection attack, even though i had Ajaxified it?.
  
  Ajax or No Ajax, First, the programmer should always get his basics clear!
  
  I really liked the spirit and the language of the article, thanks for this nice article.
  
  Regards,

  This article just seems to be written just for Google page rank. There is absolutely no substance in it concerning Ajax.
