Using the Cake Ajax/JavaScript helpers means Cake will write your
JavaScript. Using jQuery means you write it.
Writing your own jQuery means you have more separation and you can keep
your javascript out of your views and place it in it's own file. Reading as
much as you can about progressive enhancement and unobtrusive javascript
will help to.
@advantage+ This is an example of how I do infinite-scrolling sending back
the same view for both http and ajax requests.
$(function() {
var didScroll = false,
loading = $("#loading");
$(window).scroll(function() {
didScroll = true;
});
setInterval(function() {
$paginate = $('#paginate');
if($paginate.length > 0) {
if (didScroll) {
didScroll = false;
if ($(window).scrollTop() >= $(document).height() - $(window).height() -
200) {
var next = $paginate.find('.next a').attr('href');
if (next) {
loading.show();
$.ajax({
dataType: 'html',
url: next,
success: function (html) {
var $html = $('<html />').html(html);
var resultCount = $html.find("#resultCount");
var results = $html.find("#results");
var paginate = $html.find("#paginate");
$("#resultCount").html(resultCount);
$("#results").append(results);
$("#paginate").html(paginate);
loading.hide();
}
});
}
}
}
}
}, 250);
});
