It's PHP. It works the same way with or without CI.

There is no built-in recommended way. I have tried a few ways but have found it depends on what sort of ajax you are doing. If its to get or set a lot of data instead of html then I create a new method or even controller for it. If its to compliment the html and the action is the same, then I create it in the same method and just use an if to test for ajax to decide whether to load a view or return json.

+1.

CodeIgniter is nothing but a framework. It's still just PHP/HTML/CSS in the end. Whatever way you did ajax before.. It's done the exact same way with CodeIgniter.

I use xajax toolkit, it's really good and works great. www.xajaxproject.org.

Download the toolkit and put it in the application/libraries/xajax and whenever you want to load it you just do
$this->load->library('xajax'); it depends where it is located, so you may have to change it.

You don't do any javascript stuff, all that is generated by xajax. You should try it.

Hey there

I have troubles loading this library. I renamed xajax.inc.php into xajax.php. When I do

$this->load->library('xajax/xajax');

I would get a:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class xajax in [...]\system\application\libraries\xajax\xajax.php on line 59

What am I doing wrong?

Oliver

When you get that error message, means you are loading it in two places, make sure you have not declared anywhere else, that's how I got mine working.

Basically I only tried the small example-snippet which I found somewhere here in the forum:

Code:
function index() {

  function test_function($number) {

    $objResponse = new xajaxResponse();

    $objResponse->assign("hello","value", "Xajax is working. Lets add: ".($number+3));

    return $objResponse;

  }

  $this->load->library('xajax/xajax');    

  $this->xajax->registerFunction("test_function");    

  $this->xajax->processRequest();

  $template['xajax_js'] = $this->xajax->getjavascript('../../');

  $template['content'] = '<div id="SomeElementId"></div>&lt;input type="button" value="test"&gt;';

  $this->load->view('template', $template);

}

I don't call this class somewhere else...
