>From my perspective, the whole Ajax Helper (may it be for Prototype or
jQuery) is not an option for an application that seeks a serious
implementation. I know that this helper aims at people who don't know
javascript, but such people should ask themselves why they try to use
something they do not understand. On the other hand.. if they do know
javascript and even better the libraries behind this helper, they
would rather choose to make up their own external js-file and start
from the scratch in a way that is unobstrusive. I think the whole idea
or functionality of this helper needs to be reconsidered. The attempt
to control an entire library and in fact the complete javascript via
array-keys is madness. But that's another story.
Going from this point you should not ask yourself how you can
implement jQuery using a helper. You should ask yourself how to get
your scriptfile into your view and how to tell jQuery to interact with
your interface. If the helper does not work for you, leave it alone
and go for a jQuery tutorial. It is not that hard.
<a href="#guestbook">Guestbook</a>
Then in some Javascript File:
$(function() {
$('#guestbook').click(function() {
$('#spinning_image').ajaxStart(function() {
$(this).show();
$('#content').hide();
}).ajaxStop(function() {
$(this).hide();
$('#content').hide();
});
$('#content').load('/ajaxpages/guestbook/');
}
});
This code is untested, but should do the trick. I must add that i am
not a jQuery guy. I abondend it for some reasons that relate to their
Ajax implementation. I myself love prototype and it's readability.
My lead is to avoid those crazy javascript helpers. You are better off
by learning the basics of each library, add their functions the way it
is ment to be and then choose the one that works best for you. It is
fun and worth it. I would not choose a javascript library based on
helpers that are available
I hope this helps.
