Don't worry Chris. I just recommend that beginners try and use the helpers because they can get the most help from CakePHP people if they do since it is a standard. Although is a bit confusing that it is made to use scriptaculous yet they call it complete instead of onComplete as in the scriptaculous documentation. I never really liked that.
And believe you me, the road to where the AJAX helper is now was paved with hard knocks. The days before the RequestHandler, knowing that IE wants it to be UTF-8 or it will choke, the AJAX helper being a little buggy. Such fun back then. Whatever platform you go with I would recommend getting the FireBug extension for Firefox. You can turn on XMLHTTPRequest tracking. Then, you can see what it is posting and retrieving. Also, the new Web Developer toolbar has a 'View Generated Code' so you can finally see the code for the EXACTLY what you are seeing and not if you refreshed like it did before. Those two tools have made AJAX debugging actually enjoyable instead of a day at the crazy house. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
