Hey gang - Yay, second day with Prototype. :D
I finished up some other functions that I had initially built using mxAjax (ColdFusion-oriented bit) this morning, and started tackling the most involved mxAjax bit I'd done in this pile. I have a page that, upon load, lists out a row of info for each group of DB records it finds. One part of this info is a block of status info. I had coded up an mxAjax solution that would, on a set interval, pass in a list of IDs (one for each group of DB info) and the function would generate varying data and return it, and update the status info area for each item. The function would return new HTML for the status area (updating the wrapping div); a hex b/g color for that status info's div (color indicating varying status types); and another status variable (just a simple 0 or 1). I'm trying to puzzle out how to deal with this with Prototype. With mxAjax, I was able to return a simple CF structure with all the data, and then pull the data out (using some built-in mxAjax JSON functionality) and toss it in the appropriate areas. I figure I can't quite go the CF struct route, as Prototype is more generic (mxAjax actually uses Prototype for part of its functionality, heh). I'm guessing I'll need to pass all this stuff in via XML. So - any pointers in the right direction on this would be excellent. Again, keep in mind this is day 2 of Prototype development for me. Still getting my feet wet.
