[Zope] AJAX and Zope

[Pascal Peregrina]

By Zope objects I meant:

You've got a page template for example, and you include such an "AJAX enabled object", basically rendering an HTML fragment, and the resulting page will include the page template code + the fragment (similar to a macro call), but will also include the needed javascript code to handle the asynchronous communication.

Then another thing would be something like a PythonScript object (so you define python code and return python structures) and get it rendered as javascript to be included in somepage for processing the data returned by an asynchronous XML-RPC call to Zope within the browser.

Does it make more sense now?

The helpers would then be some sort of Ajax JS library. I think that
at this time it makes more sense to let people choose for themselves.
If one turns out to be better than the others, it will spread around
the community and become a "default" standard, and then maybe it's
interesting to include as a standard package, but thats a big maybe
and a big if.

I don't know what any built-in Zope-objects would do for Ajax. :)
