mhh .. yeah well, GIYF and RTFM ... would it really have taken you that much more time to answer the question instead of lecturing me ? in any case thx for taking the time to respond ...
i did google my fingers bloody on this issue and read a variety of manuals of several JS libraries, however i'm not a very skilled Javascript programmer, i know my way around typo3 but not so much around complex code, so unfortunately after a couple of days of researching i turned up nothing except the link posted above that has much to do with using AJAX with typo3. i'm near the point of giving up ... i know it's possible (see the weblink posted above) but it seems to be a secret well buried or to complicate for me to find/ understand so pardon me if before i read another entire set of manuals and loose days i ask a couple of simple questions to the masters: can this be done with Jquery ? Is it hard/complicated/laborious to do ? How do you do it step by step ? Where do i start ? thx if you can bother to share your wisdom :)
