[Cialug] JavaScript

[David Champion]

Those are pretty cool ajax apps. I remember when Dan did a presentation 
on these and the methods he used, it seemed to be neat, but very complex 
to do.

If you want to do ajax the easy way, take a look at xajax:

http://www.xajaxproject.org/

We're using this extensively. It lets you do all kinds of neat ajax 
things, but it handles all of hard part (the asynch calls, xmlhttp 
stuff...) . You just write php functions, which get called via javascript.

There are a few small examples of it on their site. After you've 
(assuming you're a competent PHP programmer) gone thru those, you should 
be able to start using it in about 30 minutes.
