Ajaxgear Toolkit
AjaxGear is a toolkit that allows you to take advantage of the
client-side technique known as AJAX. AJAX is shorthand for
Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. It uses the XMLHttpRequest
object to allow a Web browser to make asynchronous call to the
Web server without the need to refresh the whole page. AjaxGear
powers this website and has been tested and compatible with
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher and Mozilla Firefox 1.5. As
AjaxGear evolves, new features will be demonstrated on this
site. As such, the fastest way to learn how to use AjaxGear in
your web application is to download the source files of this
website and see how AjaxGear is used. Components under
development Three components are currently being developed as
part of AjaxGear toolkit namely progress bar, auto complete and
form validator. Progress bar allows us to view in real time the
status of the request sent to the server. Auto complete allows
us to efficiently navigate a dataset on a server. Form validator
allows us to validate user entry in real-time. Client-side form
validation has been a feature of ASP.NET. However, I am
developing a component that we could use on any server-side
technologies including ASP.NET, PHP, JSP, Pearl, and CGI. The
functionalities of these components will soon be demostrated in
the Contact section of this site.
