1) GlideAjax is a call iniitiate from client side to server, it can be done via Client Scripts or UI scripts or UI policies etc which are client side running code.

2) g_scratchpad is the global variable made available to client side via display business rule which runs the Sever side. Whenever the form is being loaded, the g_scratpad variable is made available to client side

GlideAjax:- The GlideAjax class allows the execution of server-side code from the client. GlideAjax calls pass parameters to the script includes, and, using naming conventions, allows the use of these parameters.

g_scratchpad: - The g_scratchpad object passes information from the server to the client, such as when the client requires information not available on the form.
