Hey Ben,

Exactly the type of gadgets I use /Intend to use. Is it right that the color picker doesn't work in IE 7? I did not look at your code yet, for lack of time. I would like to use the accordeon container around collections of form elements. Is it available as a decorator in your setup? I mean so that one can say: put the start tags on this form element and the closing part on another?

Regards,

Bart

Hello Benjamin,

Thanks a lot for pointing this out - and Matthew, sorry for not stopping
the thread. It's just freaking hard to keep up with all the development
going on :-) .

I will take a look at it for sure. However, the links you provide are dead:

www.beberlei.de/jquery/demo/
www.beberlei.de/jquery/demo/formdemo.php

that is, right now they are offline. I would like to take a look at your
demo's before anything else!

Regards,

Hello Bart,

i have already put together two proposal concerning jQuery support, one
for a generic helper that takes care of loading jQuery from CDN or local
path and takes care of a document ready (on load) execution stack.

then a jQuery UI proposal, which allows integration of some of the jQuery
UI widgets as part of view helpers and form elements into your ZF app.

ension+-+Benjamin+Eberlei

personally i think, jQuery is frikking easy, so its probably good to just
write the code yourself, but some of the helpers i put together really
take some work from you and help you to build an application using jQuery
fast. they also group all the jQuery code together so that you don't have
little js snippets layign around your views everywhere.

you might want to have a look at:
www.beberlei.de/jquery/demo/
www.beberlei.de/jquery/demo/formdemo.php

which shows two examples of how the jQuery view helpers work.

any feedback is appreciated, although the components have reached final
status and are finished and checked into zend framework extras incubator
already:

http://framework.zend.com/svn/framework/extras/incubator/library/ZendX/

the documentation is also finished, if you want to get some hints at how
it all works.

greetings,
Benjamin

I have used jquery with Zend_Form, before Dojo was integrated and I
still use jquery. I would welcome integration of jquery too. However, I
must admit that I did not even try Dojo, because I found the interface
intimidating, the way it is described in the online reference guide. I
will try it though and then decide if I still want to use jquery. I do
not like the idea of having two different Ajax libraries in use in one
system and I do like the idea of out-of-the-box Ajax functionality. If I
read through jquery documentation, I understand it immediately. I think
it's idea of simplicity matches that of ZF, which cannot be said of the
list of functions available in Dojo. But there's no use crying over
spilled water, if any. Wil is right of course, if we like jquery that
much, let's put together a decent proposal.

There are lots of reasons that Zend chose to partner with the Dojo
Foundation. But we realize that some developers prefer other JavaScript
toolkits, and that's why we'd never force our users to work with any
particular toolkit. Zend has chosen Dojo to contribute out-of-the-box
AJAX functionality to Zend, while at the same time making it clear that
we will welcome contributions from the community to support other
toolkits. In fact, there are a couple of proposals for JQuery
integration that are pretty far along now:

If there is a JS Toolkit that you prefer to Dojo, I wholeheartedly and
sincerely recommend that you look in to creating your own proposal.

Subject: [fw-general] Why Dojo of All???


Why dojo of all? Whats wrong with an MIT license? To be frank Dojo is
the
shittest JS framework i've ever worked with. Both its code and design
philosophy are no match for competition like jQuery or Prototype.

I've moved from Symfony to ZF and prefer ZF even over ROR and was very
excited to hear about a client library integration but I am shocked to
see
Dojo instead of others which are miles ahead of it.

Please explain...
