Clicking the actual notification will then trigger an AJAX request to return the data. Websockets create an on-going connection to the server to receive and respond to messages, but it's rarely used to actually deliver the content (use ajax instead) | |

| Apr 6, 2016 at 11:42 | comment | added | Spokey | The technologies used are AJAX for content delivery and Websockets for user notifications. The script itself depends on the back-end configuration. | |
| Apr 6, 2016 at 11:20 | comment | added | jcbermu | I don't know exactly how it works. However I'm sure that it uses AJAX. Whenever an event (new question, new answer, etc.) happens then through AJAX it updates the content. If you want to know about AJAX you can start here. | |
