AJAX doesn't really have an 'effects side' - it's not what AJAX is about.
'Effects' are just standard JavaScript; AJAX refers specifically to the
functionality of making a server-side request and page refresh without a
page reload, all done in JS via the XMLHttpRequest object. If it doesn't do
that, then it's just DHTML with a new paint job. (Hence, Jquery is not an
'AJAX library', but a JS framework that incorporates AJAX functionality).

Good overview here:
