JQuery UI example > reference page include this first! <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery- ui- 1.8.16.custom.min.js"></script> sortable resizable accordion datepicker tabs slider

AJAX Asynchronous JavaScript and XML Exchanging data with a server, and update parts of a web page- without reloading the whole page Why Asynchronous? Nobody wants to hold process while waisng for response from the server Define CallBack func+on that will handle the response later Examples? Google Instant Search Facebook show more feeds bu7on Use Firebug > Net panel to monitor current web page s Ajax communicason

How to use AJAX Using XMH;pRequest object and pure Javascript var xmlhttp; if (window.xmlhttprequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }! xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() { if (xmlhttp.readystate==4 && xmlhttp.status==200) { document.getelementbyid("mydiv").innerhtml=xmlhttp.responsetext; } } xmlhttp.open("get","ajax_info.txt",true); xmlhttp.send();! Using Jquery method: the type of request: GET or POST url: the locason of the file on the server async: true (asynchronous) or false (synchronous) creasng object callback funcson it selects mydiv and replace its inner html with response from the server execute $.ajax({!type: GET,!!!!url: ajax_info.txt,!!!!success: function(response) { $( #mydiv ).html(response); }! });!

$.ajax in detail $.ajax({!type: POST, // GET (Default) or POST!!!!!!url: some.php,!!!!!!data : name=john&location=boston,!!!!!!async: true, // if false, browser holds until server responds!!!!!!success: function(response) {!!!!!!!var data = $.parsejson(response);!!!!!!!!!$( #console ).text(data.message);!!!!!!!$.each(data.games, function(i,v) {!!!!!!!!$( #gamelist ).append(!!!!!!!!! <DIV> +v.name+, +v.desc+ </DIV>!!!!!!!!);!!!!!!!});!!!!!!},!!! });! $.parsejson converts string to JavaScript object. In this example, we assumed to get response like { message : you have games below, games : [ [ name : call of duty, desc : black ops ], [ name : diablo 3, desc : awesome game ] ] } And parsed JavaScript object will be assigned to data, so that data.message = you have games below data.games[0].name = call of duty, This iterates each element of data.games. i : index number (0~ ), and v : element of each itera+on.
