Yes, there is quite a bit of ajax support for tapestry at http://tacos.sourceforge.net.
What you are asking for, specificially with event listeners on select/etc/ fields isn't in the currently available release, but if you checkout the project from cvs and use "AjaxFieldObserver" you can get what you want. (As long as what you want coincides with what the component can do ;) ) You may have to spend some time with the demo to become familiar with it, as the website documentation doesn't reflect what is currently in cvs...We plan on releasing in the next few days, as soon as we're done ironing out a few last things... jesse On 11/26/05, Gareth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Does anyone know if it is possible to integrate AJAX techniques > with the tapestry approach?
