How to use Ajax on Visualforce page on Salesforce platform

Just use Ajax pattern to call object data from server on visualforce page.

Following is the Asynchronise demo:

<apex:page >
<script type="text/javascript">
    var __sfdcSessionId = '{!GETSESSIONID()}';
</script>

<script src="../../soap/ajax/29.0/connection.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onload = setupPage;
    function setupPage(){
        var state = {
            output : document.getElementById("output"),
            startTime : new Date().getTime()
        };
        
        var callBack = {
            onSuccess : layoutResults,
            onFailure : queryFailed,
            source : state
        };
        
        sforce.connection.query("Select Id, Name, Industry From Account order by Industry", callBack);
    }
    
    function queryFailed(error, source){
        source.output.innerHTML="An error has occurred: " + error;
    }
    
    function layoutResults(queryResult, source){
        if(queryResult.size > 0){
            var output = "";
            var records = queryResult.getArray('records');
            for(var i = 0; i < records.length; i++){
                var account = records[i];
                output += account.Id + " " + account.Name + " [Industry - " + account.Industry + "]<br>";
            }
            source.output.innerHTML = output;
        }
    }

</script>

<div id="output"></div>

</apex:page>

If we want to use the Synchronise model. Just use the query function without callback.  Following is the demo code.

sforce.connection.query("Select Id, Name, Industry From Account order by Industry")
