What is the term for a request that redraws the whole web page?

Question

I feel like I'm always stumbling over the language used to distinguish between an AJAX request and a standard web request (one that redraws the whole page using HTML returned from the server). In other words, what's the term for the opposite of an AJAX request?

Answer 1

On the level of the request, there is no difference. It's all HTTP GETs or POSTS. The difference is in the effect. I might call it a page load vs. a page update.
