The ajax stuff is still being developed. One thing that was suggested was to
have an additional attribute to describe the type of server-side action:
<on-field-event-update-area
event-type="change"
area-id="exampleFeatureId"
area-target="findExampleFeatures"
server-action="autocomplete"/>
I can't think of a better element name. It's expressing "On a field event,
update an area of the screen."
The event type (in the HTML world) would be either change or click.
The area id is the area (HTML container) to be updated when the event occurs.
The area target is the URL called to update the area specified in area-id.
The server action is a description of what type of response the server will put
in the area.
If anyone has suggestions for better names, then this is a good time to make
them - before we get any further into Ajax development. Just keep in mind that
the syntax shouldn't be Ajax-specific - because the widgets are intended to
support more than one rendering format. Also keep in mind that more than one
ajax event can be triggered by a field event.
