Hi All,
what are the scenario's where Ajax could not be used in Rails Application. Is there any disadvantages of AJAX (AJAX on RAILS) if yes please mention which are they?

A:
- The browser may not be able to interpret javascript, but rails can detect that and you can act accordingly
- The user cannot back/forward or bookmark a particular state within the page, because it is dynamically generated
- Search engines cannot index particular states within the page
There may be others that i can't think of right now.

these are general disadvantages of AJAX, not of its Rails' implementation.

I think the biggest disadvantage of AJAX in general is the desire to use is when it is not needed.
