(CF8) Compressing the Ajax libraries
I was looking over the libraries for things like cfmenu and a standard usage of the tag loads something like 200k of javascript. Not something I want to add to House of Fusion. I tried to gzip the files and change the extension to .js but that failed. I assume it is not possible to pre-compress the .js files and the only way to compress them is to use an 'on the fly' compression program. Is this correct?

Re: (CF8) Compressing the Ajax libraries
Hi Michael, The YUI Ext files contained in CF8 are already compressed and apart from GZipping, there's not much more you can do to them to make them smaller. The Spry files can be made smaller using Dojo's ShrinkSafe compressor. As Charlie mentioned, I blogged about it so check out that link. Since HoF is a consumer-facing website, I would suggest you take a serious look at jQuery and its associated plugins if filesize is a concern (www.jquery.com). A number of CF gurus have embraced it and they seem to be quite happy with the results. Rey...

Re: AJAX Libraries
I suggest experimenting with a few to see what best supports your needs. Folks have already given a lot of great suggestions. What I found, as I am working on a VERY AJAX intensive app right now, is that all of the libraries have strengths and weaknesses, and you may run into a deal breaker weakness, or a must have strength with a particular library that will help shape your decision. I do highly suggest playing the the various Ajax stuff in the CF8 beta - it's pretty compelling, and will greatly minimize the amount of JavaScript you need to write. If its capabilities fit your needs, it is probably the easiest path. One very interesting alternative I didn't see mentioned is the Google Web Toolkit. (http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/) It uses a very unique approach - it's basically a set of Java libraries that generates JavaScript code. You write the UI/Ajax stuff in Java, compile it, and include the resulting JavaScript in your page. The advantage of writing in Java rather than JS directly is that Java is a much more sane language than JavaScript, and there are far far better Java development tools available than there are JS ones. It's much easier to debug, unit test, etc. You don't have to be a Java guru by any means. I got very far with a fairly rudimentary understanding of Java. In addition, there is a very nice (though commercial) Eclipse plug-in, GWT Designer (http://www.instantiations.com/gwtdesigner/index.html), that lets you visually build out the UI. I ended up not using GWT only because I had a couple of very specific requirements that I couldn't do cleanly enough - namely adding widgets to certain other widgets - but the latest release candidate solves that. Just some food for thought. On 6/9/07, Brook Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, Does anyone have suggestions on an ajax library?

Re: AJAX Libraries
YUI also has a good Custom Event framework and one very important parameter built into all of their event handling functions that you will discover is essential. But just to add, I thought their widgets were poor. Ext has the nicest ones but hardest to work with. Dojo's API looks sloppy. MooTools has beautiful examples and simple code. And I don't know much about Prototype except that I didn't choose it.

Re: AJAX Libraries
My suggestion for you would be jQuery. Its community is very friendly, excited to welcome new comers, and growing all the time. Also, since what you asked for was an 'Ajax library', I would suggest Rob Gonda's AjaxCFC. It can be used alone (he incorporates a javascript library called DWR), or you can use the new jQuery branch that Rob has created. With the addition of AjaxCFC to jQuery you have the option of using jQuery's in-built ajax calls or Rob's AjaxCFC which can make asynchronous calls directly to a CFC (something that jQuery's in-built ajax doesn't do well). I'd also like to add that jQuery partnered with Jack Slocum's Ext project. You can read details on that here http://jquery.com/blog/2007/02/19/jquery-and-jack-slocums-ext. Cheers!

Are you using the plugin? Does it use a hidden iframe, or another method? I like the fact that the stuff is sorta baked in with dojo... from the beginning it was meant to be robust, which is a different philosophy than the small but pluggable- better or worse depends on the scale of the app, somewhat. I wasn't aware of the Accessibility aspect of dojo, which I think is HUGE (it sorta peeves me that Accessibility takes a back seat in so many places, which is ironic, as I've put it in the back seat of 90% of what I've done.). Thanks, Sandra! You'd think a fan would know that! =-P Another exciting aspect is the Internationalization stuff- again, not so much a plugin (but you can exclude it) as a concept- It's important to the library as a whole, you know? I dig that. Themes are slowly making their way out the door... It's just really, really, robust. Tests for just about everything, etc.. Part of the deal, I guess, is the bit about using ORMs vs. knowing SQL. It's a good thing to know SQL, even tho it can be startlingly easy to slap together a site now without knowing any. It's still awful hard to do some stuff via ORM alone, tho, so... same applies to JS, in a manner. There has just been a /ton/ of thought (and debate, etc.) put into dojo, with things in mind that I think a lot of the other libraries are just now sorta getting to the point of needing/thinking about. It's always tougher when you didn't foresee something getting so big, if you read me. Script scope separation, for instance. Does your lib handle script separation? (--question directed toward potential library pickers, not Andy specifically. :). Does your library have ways to specify events are connected just once? Does your library have a robust event system? Will your library grow with your needs, to the point of off-line accessibility? Comet? And do it pretty cohesively? Do all your plugins play nice with each other? Do /you/ (the end user) have to verify that when you add plugin X, it doesn't mess up plugin Y? * * * With such an nice, open subject, I figured I'd throw these questions/ considerations out there, keep the good info flowing, etc.. And it's a slight battle of the libraries, which I think is good, no? =] PS- dojo's api seems clear enough to me. I don't have any problems with the source, at least.

Re: AJAX Libraries
Indeed, There are lots out their and trying to say one is better and it is hard to see through the crap as everyone has their own views and preferences hence why I will not preach, only suggest/advocate. Personally I like and use Script.Aculo.us / Prototype but it can be bloat for simple needs. I also can't talk highly enough of Backbase, a cracking offering but unfortunately costs a lot and geared toward people building practically 100% Ajax RIA. All of the frameworks aside, think of your potential etc. If you do not know or want to know any JS beyond what the the frameworks offer then go with one which is easy to get up to speed (JSMX is no doubt the simplest IMO). If you want or envisage building applications and having to do more complex JS interactions then you know who you are and you could effectively use any - unless you want ColdFusion interop already in place as then your choice is further refined.

Re: AJAX Libraries
Having worked with a few, I'm pretty certain that there is no best framework (though I'm sure some fanboys will flame me for this). If you simply want a way to have JavaScript - CF conversations easily and without a lot of coding, I think any of them will work. My personal lightweight favorite is mootools (http://demos.mootoools.net) because it is very small and super easy to use/learn, but YUI, Prototype/Scriptaculous and Dojo are much more feature complete and are excellent frameworks as well.

Re: AJAX Libraries
Just like to throw in that unlike the other toolkits, jQuery is a unique and expressive language to use for adding your own javascript functionality to webpages with very little coding. It teaches you the DOM structure very well and will hone your CSS/XPath skills. Discovering it was like writing my first Lisp program, except that I ended up doing lots of things with my javascript capabilities. I think jQuery's strength lies in its ability to target and modify specific DOM elements. Conversely, I think its weakness is that you give up on a lot of its power when using other people's plugins. I believe there are lots of plugins because it is easy for people to create their own functionality, not so much because the community at large is asking for them. Dojo has pre-built widgets you are encouraged to use, Ext even more, and a developer's strength is based in his/her ability to use the existing widgets. As a jQuery programmer, you want to be good at adding the functionalities yourself on the fly as you decide to add them. - Original Message From: Michael E.
