I am a Web2Beginner and I am trying to learn how to use it in a proper way.
I'd like to add some Ajax-functionality to some areas of a Web2Py application. I'm not sure how to approach it best. For an example : I have a list with items, and actionlinks "edit" to open each item in a jQuery dialog and "delete" to delete the item. First question : how to do the edit best? I guess using FORM helper with the item id as a parameter? And then opening the jQuery dialog with the html from the FORM helper. But will that do postbacks in the right fashion automatically? Second question : how can I delete a item with a "delete" actionlink? Seems a bit over the bridge to link to a view for that matter? Third question : Adding functionality to the form input fields, I'm into using other jQuery UI controls. Is that a conveniant way? Or should I better look for Web2PySlices / components? Fourth question : to build really rich UI's, is a client framework like Pyjamas or DynarchLib or ExtJs something Web2Py developers use with success? Many thanks! Jonas
