building ajax sites

Hi,

I started using Dojo fairly recently but have got quite comfortable adding Ajax functionality to a PHP/HTML site.

However I wondered if anyone could recommend any good resources or tutorials for how to design an Ajax site from the ground up. In particular making SEO compatible fallback in the easiest way possible.

An Ajax project that seems to do this quite well is http://www.demozzz.com/orca/demo/ but there may be easier ways to learn than trying to understand their code. They seem to be using XSLT however it's not something I've used before.

To try give a bit more info, specifically, my sites all tend to have a PHP header and footer. Now I'm only using these on the index page and am loading page contents in a contentPane. This works great but now my non-JS URLs are missing a header and footer. I suspect this is the kind of problem a lot of Ajax newcomers run into so any advice is appreciated. I suspect XML comes into it but I'd imagine this is more difficult when all the content is edited in WordPress or another CMS.
