All about Ajax!

I guess I'll give it a shot.

[quote author="RESPECT" date="1223102901"]How do you degrade gracefully? Saying the user doesnt have javascript enabled? Or AJAX simple doesnt work with their browser? code examples?

What does unobtrusive AJAX mean to you?[/quote]
To me, javascript should be transparent. There is nothing worse than overkill effects. It's only cool the first time.
Make sure the base functionality is available regardless of javascript setting. So a wysiwyg (which I'm not really a fan of, so far only gmail got it right, imo) will turn into a textbox.
Actually, when building the app I approach it the other way around. It starts out as a textbox with working validation, et al. Then I add the javascript layer to turn it into a wysiwyg. Progressive enhancement.

Code samples? Hmm... if you don't mind YUI: Editor and Dialog

[quote author="RESPECT" date="1223102901"]Are there any AJAX plugins for codeigniter? jQuery? Other then the ones mentioned in the wiki? I believe some sort of AJAX support was planned for EE (old blog post) if this ever comes to fruition will it trickle down to CI?[/quote]
I'm pretty sure it will trickle up, not down. The next version of EE will be built on CI. So core functionality, such as the announced jQuery support, will hit CI first.
I've openly said that I'm not convinced of the idea, but I won't reject it before I see it :lol: . I believe learning javascript has made me a better programmer, so I would hate for others to have an easy way out .
