Ajaxify A Static Website In Minutes

There are many websites which are totally static. They can have an Ajax twist with a little touch.
com.bydust.ajax is a JavaScript class which automatically converts a static website into an Ajaxed one.



In order to make it work, The website content is marked like:

*your primary content*

to make the script know which is the content area to be loaded. A detailed documentation can be found here.
When a user without JavaScript is browsing, com.bydust.ajax degrades gracefully & the site will be working normally.
P.S. Thanks to Nick for the suggestion.
