I've done a fair amount of AJAX w/ lesser web frameworks (Spring Web, blech) but haven't had the opportunity to do much w/ WO yet. Given that Project Wonder already supports Prototype, I guess I'd use that, but on previous project I found Dojo to be pretty good. I've also heard good things about JQuery, although I haven't used it.
I also found the JavaScript Shell (http://www.squarefree.com/shell/) to be invaluable. Just add the bookmark in Firefox, then open a web page and click on the bookmark. It'll launch another windows into which you can run arbitrary JavaScript against the page you're looking at. Very useful for experimentation, prototyping, debugging, etc. Bruce -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Asa Hardcastle Sent: Tuesday, June 19, 2007 3:57 PM To: Jesse Tayler Cc: WebObjects-Dev Mailing List Subject: Re: JS libraries used with WO Hi Jess, We've been using lots of prototype, excellent for ajax and is the basis for script.aculo.us. Scriptaculous/Prototype are the basis for the Project Wonder ajax framework, which is a great way to get started doing ajax with wo. Prototype: http://www.prototypejs.org/ Wonder: http://wonder.sourceforge.net/ some Ajax framework docs, but download the Ajax Examples with project wonder. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:WebObjects/Project_WONDER/ Frameworks/Ajax It should be noted that starting to use ajax with your apps (if you are going to account for and deal with all of the possible error states) has a high development time cost, especially as your codebase grows. These days we are doing an ever increasing amount of ajax work. We use a mixture of prototype, project wonder, and our own JS (which we will probably be deprecating since prototype does an excellent job). The apps that we're using it in range from forms with related pulldowns/form fields that change fairly often, in place page replacement and editing, and basically any time we want to avoid a page refresh. We've found that once you've ajaxified one portion of your app, it isn't long before everything is ajax. later, asa On Jun 19, 2007, at 12:51 PM, Jesse Tayler wrote: > > What sorts of JS libraries are people using for interface engineering, > and what sorts of things are you doing with them? > > Is anyone using this one: > > http://script.aculo.us/ > > Anyone doing a lot of AJAX type work? > > jess > > > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.
