AJAX is an exellent tool to make web pages for intranets and improve the user usability and in that case you don’t have to worry with the browser because you can specify the requirements for your system, so there is little to worry. I have used SAJAX it is a great toolkit but it didn’t work well with ADODB which I use it a lot so I found other versions that is OO and is based on the original script in the forum.

CPAINT v2.0.0 with many more features, greatly improved documentation, and security fixes was released today, if anyone is interested. We’ve also packed quite a few examples in there to get you going. Download it at Sourceforge.Net

Start reading the blog! That’s really strange. Harry has posted about working with XMLHttpReq last year - before someone called it AJAX. And now you go outside to find what you could find just in the same blog?

The project Harry made is called JPSpan and can be found here: http://jpspan.sourceforge.net/ He even has a great wiki there.

The reason that I’m not a fan of AJAX is because of its lack of cross-browser compliancy. I haven’t dabbed in it myself, but I have ordered DHTML Utopia, so I should learn soon!

Yes Nico, Harry did indeed cover XMLHTTP last year. I thought I’d post some more about Ajax because it is now much more well known and therefore there are likely to be more libraries available. JPSpan didn’t come up in my Google search but I’m glad you have pointed it out because it looks pretty good. Thank you.

script.acul.us is not for Ruby. It doesn’t have anything to do with a server-side language. It’s a javascript library, pure and simple.

Yes, Rails (framework, not a language) has helper functions that interact with the library, but nothing’s stopping anyone from doing the same in PHP.

The CakePHP-project (which is based on the Ruby On Rails concept) has made use of the prototype library (also used by the Rico-project) and it implements some ajax-functionality. Using the prototype library makes it easier to implement ajax-functionality, and makes it cross-browser compatible. The Rico-project has done this and come up with some modules which they think of as useful for us. I still suggest starting of looking at the Prototype-library before peeking at the Rico-project.

The CakePHP-project in itself is also promising. Hopefully they will get around to creating good helper methods for the AJAX-functionality. Until then, the prototype lib and Cake is just sitting there, waiting to be used, like this guy shows.

I have used sajax on several projects and haven’t ran into any problems. The nice thing about sajax is the multiple languages and ease of use. I program in coldfusion at work and php on the side and it works great with both.

I'm still baffled as to why anyone would need a special api or whatnot to use these technologies. Here is what you do:

1.) Make a request using xmlhttprequest in javascript to a server-side php script.

2.) Make the php script process the request and return an xml file with the data.

3.) Have the callback function (provided when you called xmlhttprequest) run through the returned data and do whatever is appropriate with it.

The existing toolkits and apis for it are so completely unnecessary and overdone that it makes me want to cry. It's actually slower and more difficult to use most of them than it is to just write the code yourself.
