Hi Jonathan
I have used this technology [Ajax] on my system I developed. The login system uses this and especially the large result sets from financial information that gets generated on the remote server. All the dropdowns which supply the criteria is loaded on the web page, and you select your criteria, then I fetch the results from a .net page I configured to accept xml postings to it.
I then generate my HTML results on the server and send only that html back to the server.
Other way I used it is by building a .net Charting component, the image gets rendered on the screen, but while I draw the image on the server, I capture all the plotted values’ coordinates and generate imagemaps on the server, I then sent the javascript back to the page with the image to remotely go and fetch all the imagemap points and html div’s for these points that need to be displayed on mouseover.
Anyhow, thought Id just let you know that I love this “Ajax” and makes my life a lot easier, especially trying to limit the size of data I send across the network/internet that is obundant.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that a login must be provided, we cannot see his work in action.
Thanks, Jo-Pierre Lerm, for letting me know about how you’ve used Ajax! It sounds like you’ve done some wonderful work!
