The usage of ajax depends on which library or custom implementation you want/need to use on your website so there can be no such thing like a general ajax tutorial for CI.

The CI/php/other server language code for ajax produces nothing more than a generated output in form of xml,html,json or just plain text. So that is what you have to do using CI.

I'm a jquery user myself so for auto completion i would get a plugin for it (thank you jquery community), see how the output needs to be and output the desired format.

Its pretty damn basic if you already know AJAX. Instead of something like:

Code:

$.getJSON("ajax.php",{country: $(this).val(), ajax: 'true'}

You would do something like:

Code:

$.getJSON("<?=site_url('controller/ajax_method');?>",{country: $(this).val(), ajax: 'true'}

Instead of echo'ing the return use:

Code:

$this->output->set_output($content);

Of course the JavaScript depends on the lib you are using but if you are trying AJAX in CI I have to assume knowledge of JS on your part.

While this method is technically AJAJ.... its all the same junk really :p

I like to think the x in ajax stands for whatever format instead of xml
