texte = It really is super easy to use ajax with jquery. I encourage you to try it out. Essentially, all you do is create a function so when a user clicks on something, you send a post with parameters. You can also use jquery to change the look of that item (to increase a number for instance). Check out this example http://15daysofjquery.com/quick-and-dirty-ajax/14/ or this one http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/ajax-jquery/3. Once you get the basic workings, you can create tons of quick ajax enabled features. -----Original Message----- From: Palle Bo Nielsen [mailto:powerpalle@powerpalle.dk] Sent: Monday, January 18, 2010 9:27 AM To: talk@webdna.us Subject: Re: [WebDNA] Ajax, JS and WebDNA - A joint toturial ;-) Hi Olin, Thanks for your feedback although I am not quite able to decode the .php example which you linked to. When I look at the PollDaddy, then it's in the right direction, at least in principal. At least it can give me some ideas, but not how to integrate all the above using WebDNA. I think (if this thread survives) that a very basic example is needed first (WebDNA, AJAX, JS) and after that another baby step is needed. I hope that some will join the effort.
