Query on outputting php with js

[Dexlin]

Hi all,

 

I am wondering how other companies use js to implement features that a client can use on there site. What i mean is that a company has a feature like facebook comments for instances and to use the feature you just reference as a js file then it renders the content without including other files.

 

I want to know how it works as i have a comment system i'm building along with the site and instead of including files to call the function/class etc i would like to use js to render the comments form plus comments.

 

I hope people understand what i'm saying as i can not see how it works. So you don't need to touch php at all to implement/embed the feature into a site, apart from making the backend code to create the function/class to do it.

 

 

Many thanks

A public API request to your site yields the content for the JS to use / loop through. Typically this is done with either XML or JSON.

I'm having trouble understanding what exactly you're trying to do, but I THINK you're talking about AJAX.
