Ah even better! Thanks guys.
I was going to reply just to mention I have a "not as cool" way of using Zope with Ajax at my site now too.
www.zajax.net <http://www.zajax.net/>
Seems every rock I turn over, I find 3 others worth investigating. Lots of cool stuff going on out there. I put up my own demo, but it's not nearly the prefered way of doing things by most people. I myself, prefer DTML over ZPT, so my demo is based on that. I also am using one of the larger client frameworks available, Dojo Toolkit. The js file is around 130k if I remember. The smaller ones are great and do the job, but I wanted something larger and more widely used like Dojo to build off of.
I know eventually I'll look at the JSON stuff too. Sound interesting.
Hi, Greg Cool! I like the way you do the how-to. Do you plan similar how-tos for other JS libraries/techniques? Would you accept contributions? I find myself looking at mochikit (http://mochikit.com) occasionally. In its ajax-tables demo, it uses a tal(esque) syntax for dom manipulation in client javascript, which could be interesting for fans of page templates. For the future, dare I ask, maybe some zope3 stuff? I think the zope community really needs zope-oriented how-tos and evaluations of the various AJAX libraries. zajax.net has the right name to be a prime focus of such activities, should you be willing to do that. Thanks! -Jim Washington
