what is the best js framework for ajax ? first iam a beginner in ajax and js,
i found a lot of frameworks but i didn't know which is the best.
And i heared that some of thease frameworks are not updated any more. I read a book called professional ajax with php and the book author was using a class library called zXml you can find it here but i found that the XMLDOM does not support opera browser it supports only IE and FireFox .
And I heared a lot about prototype class library but i didn't found tutorials using it you can found it here so iam unable to deciding which is the best updated cross browsers js framework for ajax.
We have a corporate product which uses ajax and different layers of soa , java etc across all browsers and multiple platforms But the observation is - IE8 is extremely slow when working with ajax framework. THe browser processing time increases exponentially with increasing js file size. Works fine in non IE browsers.
I get that this question is going to be one of those questions where everybody defends the app they like the most, but I am asking for the reasons why rather than just a one product name answer, so here goes with the question:
What is the best Javascript Framework to use for Javascript RIA development and why?
i.e. Qooxdoo, ExtJS, Echo3, etc?
Now I know everyone is probably going to jump in and say Jquery, but personally I see Jquery and the likes as more of a "make plain website nice by adding animations etc" rather than for web applications development.
One of the great annoyances I have with JavaScript is the lack of a good consistent code library. Oh, there are a few code libraries scattered around for doing various things. The problem is that each of them have their own way of doing things. If we want to use more than one library at a time, we often end up duplicating code and working with different interfaces and practices that aren't necessarily compatible with each other...
So... isn't it about time that we have a Common JavaScript Framework?
I'm thinking of a standardised code library, mostly (but not entirely) built from the free code that is already out there. (I'm thinking of a LGPL core with independantly licensed extensions.)
I know of a few very cool projects that aim to make JavaScript development easier, more professional and to bridge the gap between browsers and environments. (To name a few: DynAPI, DOMAPI, Sarissa, 13th parallels' library, netWindows, bindows, ActiveUI, f(m).) But I don't know of any effort to bring all of these features into one common framework. Can we do anything about this?
I'm not exactly proposing that we form a group to design and implement a complete framework. I just think that, us, JavaScript developers should talk to each other more and agree on a few things. Then, I imagine being able to access this centralized, well designed library that is ready for serious (and less serious) development and the dream goes on...
I have been working with JS (client and server) for some years now and I'd like to bring more consistency to my code and spend less time writing lower level code. So I may be writing this email more out of wishful thinking than determined action. In any ways, I remain interested to support any effort that would lead me to better, well designed, programming.
I'm experienced with PHP and I'm familiar with JS syntax but still a beginner.
Now I want to learn AJAX And JS and I've looked at jQuery but it doesn't look like JS to me, I mean I'm sure it is but it looks to me like jQuery has a syntax of it's own and I want to learn not just a framework but also the underlying language.
So now my question is; what framework will be the best choice when that is my goal?
BUT, without needing a framework (jquery,mootools,scriptalicious,protoype,dojo,etc). I don't need all the extras that come with the framework and want to keep loading time down to a minimum.
Modello is a lightweight framework that enables you to write JavaScript class like other class-based object-oriented programming language. It introduces class, class-based inheritance, multi-inheritance, private members, RTTI and more into JavaScript. Modello can help you write more readable, reusable and maintainable JavaScript code.
I have been tasked with building a slider for a client. Basically you have a window showing 2 thumbnails and some product info. When you click the arrows, it would slide to the next or previous set, WITH EASING. Normally this would be simple using jquery, but I cannot use a JS framework, so I have to use straight JS.
Our web site is built on the LiveBooks framework which is basically Flash-based. Due to their framework not being able to display a Flash slideshow that I'm still completing within their Flash shell without doing a lot of odd things to the Flash file, I'm having to re-create the look of our site in HTML for the purpose of correctly displaying this particular page. Basically, I have an HTML page that has the SWF embedded but I also need to recreate the pull-down menu that is in place on the other pages via Flash. Go to smithphoto-dot-com and after the page loads the intro, select one of the olives other than the one labeled "studio". On any of these other pages, roll over "folios" and you'll see the Flash-based pull- down menu that I want to re-create. Selecting "studio" from any of these pages will navigate to the HTML version of the studio page where I need to insert the Superfish menu. I've attempted this at inet-
How to send after validation is performed? 3. This should mean sending form when name="form1" is clicked. Is it if sentence correct set with name form1?
Application is: [URL]
Version 1.7. Now is sending when I click on button but it should send values and after validation is made.
I'm learning how to use Javascripts and using Prototype framework by following a step by step tutorial from a book. Unfortunately when I stepping through the following code:[code]
I'm using a .csv file as the basis for a spry dataset. I've got it working and the data is getting inserted into a table dynamically. Since there'll be quite a lot of rows in the table, I'm trying to implement some paging controls so the user can see about 20 rows at a time and then page through the rest of the rows.[code]When I test, The first 20 rows appear but then these 20 rows are repeated another 20 times, so the first 20 rows are duplicated 20 times on the one page, i.e 400 rows are being displayed (if you know what I mean). The paging is also working via the buttons but each of the 20 rows (20 x 20) are being paged simultaneously, and I only want one set of 20 rows to appear at any one time.[code]
Working on creating my own plugin and realized that I would very likely end up doing this again in the future. Unfortunately, I have an extremely short memory when writing code. I frequently have to re-read the code I've created the day prior so I can get back on track with what I was doing. As such, I'm a fervent commenter in my code.
So, I'm creating a jQuery plugin framework with comments for everything that's going on in the framework to prevent my brain from having to re-learn everything in a month or so when I do another one.
Plugin-savvy folks to take a look at this code and help me fill in the blanks and make corrections to those places where I'm way off base. As you'll likely notice rather quickly, this is taken from the jQuery plugin tooltip construct found here: [url]
I am not trying to start a flame war again over the JavaScript frameworks. Instead I want to focus on the JavaScript "User Interface" aspect. I refer to those fanciful widgets and effects we see increasingly appearing all over the browsers nowadays. They are usually built using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. I also notice a lot of developers like to build their own widgets and effects based on the questions asked in this forum. I am more of a server side developer so I am more curious how I can get a fanciful widget/effect in real quick time and viola jQuery UI came to my rescue today.
Then I probe deeper and it seems for the UI portion, jQuery and YUI stand out. Prototype UI is still in infant stage from what I see. Both jQuery plug-in and YUI gallery provide lots of ready made widgets to be used readily. Then come my questions below. 1. YUI framework codes are "wordy". It is cleaner and clearer of cuz but from what I know, JavaScript are downloaded onto the user browser whenever user surf to a page with JavaScript enabled correct?
Hence wordy code pay a price isn't it ? The total number of bytes that need to be download to the browser has an impact. In this aspect jQuery is more compact and in theory the final code that uses jQuery will be smaller correct ?
2. jQuery has a weakness. It is preoccupied with DOM and mainly those UI related JS code. When there is a need to have non-UI JavaScript OOP code, it does not seem to shine so well.
So my decision is simple. I don't need a lot of non-UI JavaScript OOP code, I only want ready-built UI JavaScript code and jQuery serve me very well.
I welcome other developers comments. PS Btw jQuery and YUI are free anyway and unless there are no widgets out there to serve my needs, I won't venture to re-invent the wheel again. There sure are lot's of experienced UI JavaScript developers in those communities!
how to use Javascripts and using Prototype framework by following a step by step tutorial from a book. Unfortunately when I stepping through the following code:
Code: <html> <head> <title>
[Code]....
The prototype file can be acquired at Prototype website download
within this page that has been created, there is an AJAX tree folder which calls another page to be loaded into a DIV by AJAX again. Code:
[Code]...
I don't know why it doesn't work because the page has been loaded with the JS file, but as soon as the link is added afterwards it doesn't work. I take it this is because it doesn't know where to find the JS, but how can I overcome this?
jquery provides ajaxStart() and ajaxStop() events. Those two events do not seem to be triggered if the ajax requests are made by Microsoft Ajax tool Kit (from ASP.Net code). Is there any way to bridge those two event models? If not currently possible, is there any future initiative or plan out there to make this happen?
i was using $.ajax method to get my ajax page on my main page,which is working great.But now if i have links in that ajax page then i can't open them in that same div,the links are opening in new window,but i want to open in same part,i tried google it and then found, i have to use iframe instead of div.how to do with only use jquery and div.
i have a series of <select> fields. The first one, via ajax(), generates a 2nd one, based on the first ones' data with the .change() method. there is then a 3rd <select> - who's data will depend on choice of the second one although step 1 works, and i can generate the 2nd one, i still can't generate the 3rd one.
when i test the script on its own, both the 2nd and 3rd <select> fields are fine - but not via the ajax, which leads me to believe that the .change() from the 2nd one, isnt triggering the ajax call - its not being picked up (even the 'hello' alert isnt working).
