I am a C/C++ programmer professionally, but I've created a couple of personal web sites using PHP and MySQL. They're pretty basic, and I'd like to jazz them up using Ajax, but I've never done any Ajax. I've done all the development so far manually, i.e. no IDE or anything like that. Does anyone have suggestions on Ajax development envir...

I'm about to start a fairly Ajax heavy feature in my company's application. What I need to do is make an Ajax callback every few minutes a user has been on the page. I don't need to do any DOM updates before, after, or during the callbacks. I don't need any information from the page, just from a site cookie which should always be sen...
JavaScript needs access to cookies if AJAX is used on a site with access restrictions based on cookies. Will HttpOnly cookies work on an AJAX site? Edit: Microsoft created a way to prevent XSS attacks by disallowing JavaScript access to cookies if HttpOnly is specified. FireFox later adopted this. So my question is: If you are using AJ...
When using jQuery's ajax method to submit form data, what is the best way to handle errors? This is an example of what a call might look like: $.ajax({ url: "userCreation.ashx", data: { u:userName, p:password, e:email }, type: "POST", beforeSend: function(){disableSubmitButton();}, complete: function(){enableSubmitBu...
I am having problems submitting forms which contain UTF-8 strings with Ajax. I am developing a Struts web application which runs in a tomcat server. This is the environment i set up to work with UTF-8: I have added to tomcat's conf/server.xml the attributes URIEncoding="UTF-8" useBodyEncodingForURI="true" into the Connector tag. I have...
I'm writing a simple photo album app using ASP.NET Ajax. The app uses async Ajax calls to pre-load the next photo in the album, without changing the URL in the browser. The problem is that when the user clicks the back button in the browser, the app doesn't go back to the previous photo, instead, it navigates to the home page of the app...

I want to return StudentId to use elsewhere outside of the scope of the $.getJSON() j.getJSON(url, data, function(result) { var studentId = result.Something; }); //use studentId here I would imagine this has to do with scoping, but it doesn't seem to work the same way c# does ...
I am working on a rails project. Using the tag observe_field, I am taking text typed into a text area, processing it in a control, and displaying the result in a div (very similar to the preview in stack overflow). Everything works fine until I type certain special chars. ? => causes the variable not to be found in the params object (p...

I'm considering developing a website similar to stackoverflow, but the answers may also consist of drawings (schematics, in this case). I want to have an area in the answer form where they can make this schematic without requiring special plugins, etc. Are we to the point where SVG has or should have critical mass soon (1-2 years) s...
I am familiar with several approaches to making the back button work in AJAX applications in various situations, but I have not found a solution that will work gracefully in my specific scenario. The pages I am working with are the search interface for a site. You enter terms in a normal search box, click "go and wind up at a search re...
I have a small JS function that does Ajax for me and another like it that adds in POST data to the request. With Ajax being such a big topic with so many libraries about it, what am I missing from my function, is it insecure or something else worrying? function loadPage(pagePath, displayElement) { var xmlHttp; try { // Firefox, Op...
I used the jQuery Form plugin for asynchronous form submission. For forms that contain files, it copies the form to a hidden iframe, submits it, and copies back the iframe's contents. The problem is that I can't figure out how to find what HTTP status code was returned by the server. For example, if the server returns 404, the data from ...

If so how? Did you roll your own with jQuery or use the Microsoft AJAX toolkit? Did you create a webservice or call an action? EDIT : Please note that this question was asked before Microsoft announced that they were going to bundle jQuery in with VS/ASP.NET MVC. I think there is less of a discussion around this topic now and the...
