Best jQuery/Prototype book for complex ajax?
- by Burton Kent
I've been working on a complex app with one main dashboard. I don't particularly like the design because it tries to do too much on one page. So the lead developer thought it would be a good idea to use ajax - because the page is so big. Refreshing part of it is far faster than loading it again.
Problem is there's several ways data can be used.
Adding items
Editing rows
Performing actions on selected rows (selected using a checkbox)
Changing single items (like location, phone)
My problem is making GENERALIZABLE ajax code that can operate on the data in a div, using class names to assemble the proper information for the ajax call. I did pretty well, but can't help but want to see if there's a better way to do it.
