okay, i lied a bit in the title. AJAX, short for "Asynchronous Javascript And XML" is not possible at all in CSS, because duh, javascript isn't CSS. and i'm not using XML to transport data. but the thing that's commonly meant by "AJAX" is loading, sending and processing data on a website without having to reload the entire page to render stuff on the server. and that is possible in CSS, with a bit of help with HTML. without reloading. here's how.

on older browsers, sometimes yes! you can set the background-image to an SVG and use foreign-object and iframe inside it. this does not work on modern browsers because they sandbox the CSS, but IIRC older IE and safari versions do that!
