Well, I spent most of today getting my feet wet with AJAX. I had a hard time deciding which framework to use for AJAX. There are so many out there, and I’m sure you have your own opinion on which is best, but that isn’t the topic here. I really liked mootools because of their effects. Sure, jquery and prototype have better documentation, but I think I’m sticking with mootools for my AJAX needs for the present time. This mootools javascript file is the entire core along with all the effects. It could be a much smaller file, but for testing purposes, it will do.
Speaking of documentation, it was really hard to find a simple example using POST as the method. After lots of searching, I decided to give it a go. I hope this simple example sheds some light.
I plan on doing a more advanced example in the near future that will do a MySql call and update a table result.
This example is for the purposes of mootools only and assumes understanding of the rest.
On the “demo” link above, you will find the source code.
Comments welcome. Enjoy!
