Subject: Ajax helper!!


Hi All:
 
    After try several ajax libraries and some real implemenation in
lifetype. I just know why cakePHP or RoR implement thier own Ajax Helper. It
will reduce a lot of work on client-side scripting. Maybe we can try to
think about implment our own "Ajax helper" class. And we can make it
standard, then user or lifetype developer can use this class to get dynamic
conent to front page, even in cache envvironment. It is better then use
smarty {dynamic}
 
  And we also can use this function to implement a lot of fancier feature in
front page. For example, in-place edit or add friend list.... should be very
interesting...
 
I already try the following client-side ajax library:
- Prototype (Ajax only)
- Script.aculo.us (Effect Only based on prototype)
- Rico (Both Ajax and Effect, it wrap prototype ajax.request again)
- moo.fx (Effect only, and based on prototype. The side is pretty small)
- Sack (Wordpress use this library, the library size is pretty small, only 8
kb)
 
I also try the following service-side ajax library.
- Xajax (it can used in smarty env., but I have no idea how to add it to our
framework in proper way. )
 
So, if you want to try Ajax, hope this experience can save your time.
 
Mark
