The OpenAjax Alliance states that it is an "organization of leading vendors, open source projects, and companies using Ajax," but I don't find any questions on stackoverflow that reference them.

Hello, I'm building a web application with Django. The reasons I chose Django were: I wanted to work with free/open-source tools I like Python and feel it's a "long term" language, whereas regarding Ruby I wasn't sure, and PHP seemed like a huge hassle to learn. I'm building a prototype for an idea and wasn't thinking too much about t...

Here's the href for the element, which opens an Ajax form: javascript:__d...
A common web problem is where a user clicks the submit button of a form multiple times so the server processes the form more than once. This can also happen when a user hits the back button having submitted a form and so it gets processed again. What is the best way of stopping this from happening in ASP.NET MVC? Possibilities as I se...
I am interested in knowing if there are any server-side web application frameworks which integrate nicely with CouchDB? Does anyone have any experience in doing this?

I have a Java web application bundled as a WAR. The application is deployed in jBoss 5.0.1. For historical reasons I am unable to use the built in authentication & authorisation specified via web.xml.
