_maarten Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi, I'm new to ajax and I'm trying to make an application with Zend framework. What I want to do is the following: I have 2 boxes with information, each with an edit button. I want to be able to edit those boxes on the same page, and I want to use overlay forms (so I'm probably going to use dijit / dojo) The way I see it is that I just generate the forms on that page, and use javascript to make them popup, the form itself does a submit to a controller that return a status code. When the status code is ok, the overlay closes, and I want the box to reload the information from the database. I was planning on making a controller that outputs data in XML (or another format) and have Javascript construct my content (lets say in this case a user table) and upon form submission I would then to an .innerHTML = function_that_fetches_xml_and_generates_table; Is this a good idea or is this a bad way of using javascript / ajax?

trq Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 That is the general gist of what can be done with Ajax. Personally I would use jQuery as my Js framework and json (instead of xml) as my data type.

_maarten Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 Hi, Thanks for your reply ! I looked it up and I'll indeed be using Zend_JSON .. thanks! My preference also goes to jQuery , but I was thinking that it would be easier to use the Dojo library that comes with the Zend framework, or is that not advisable ?

trq Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 If your preference is with jQuery I'd stick with that. I don't use Zend that often but I've never bothered with it's Dojo stuff, it's just not needed IMO.
