I've written a control in C# that overrides the built-in DropDownList control. For this I need a javascript resource included, which I'm including as an embedded resource then adding the WebResource attribute, which works fine. However, I also need to reference a webservice, which I would normally include in the scriptmanager on the p...
I've looked for this a few times in the past, to no avail. I would like a simple php/ajax web chat interface, that, and this is the critical part, will interface with my IM client (Pidgin) ... via Jabber or Aim. Plugoo is almost what I want, except it is hosted, and flash based. Flash-based would be OK if not ideal, but hosted isn't. N...
I have been developing basic web sites for awhile now with some PHP thrown in for getting dynamic stuff done. However, I recently decided that it was time I got my hands a little dirtier so I wanted to start to play with the underpinnings of Wordpress and other such apps. I work on a Mac at home and have been using Coda for most of my ...
My website makes a lot of requests. I often need to cancel all current requests, so that the browser is not blocking relevant new requests. I have 3 kinds of requests: Ajax inserted script-tags (which do JSONP-Communication) inserted image-tags (which cause the browser to request data from various servers) For Ajax its no problem as...
I know you can just use CSS to hide the DIV or Silverlight Plugin, but is there a way to instantiate a Silverlight Component/App using JavaScript that doesn't show any UI element at all? There is alot of great functionality in Silverlight, like MultiThreading and compiled code, that could be utilized by traditional Ajax apps without usi...
My question is possibly a subtle one: Web services - are they extensions of the presentation/web layer? ..or are they extensions of the biz/data layer? That may seem like a dumb question. Web services are an extension of the web tier. I'm not so sure though. I'm building a pretty standard webform with some AJAX-y features, and it se...

I want to upload and then process a file in a Ruby on Rails app. The file upload is usually quite short, but the server-side processing can take some time (more than 20 seconds) so I want to give the user some indicator - something better than a meaningless 'processing...' screen. I'm trying to use the following code in the view <%= p...
I don't currently use ajax.net though I would be open to it if it is the only solution. I have a auto-complete control on screen that I am using to populate a asp.net dropdownlist with values through javascript (jQuery). I have had to use EnableEventValidation="false" to allow this. After I add my options to the select and the form is po...
