Ideally, for forms, you'd like to have some modules that magically initialize your forms with data from your model, then render a nice form with your favorite JS toolkit, using AJAX for things like auto-complete with data from your model, validate the forms both on the client and on the server, and then update your model with the user submitted data.

Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst - any good AJAX tutes?
hello, David :) yep I do know that things like FormFu and FormBuilder are good but for Perl people who maintain existing applications that have not ever touched these form packages and Catalyst, it seems like a whole new world . Add the requirement to get a prototype up pretty soon, and the learnign curve really turns them off. What I think is needed is a good tute on how to use Form fu in catalyst for applications that are not so simple (ie not just any basic blog application). Something closer to the real world. anyway, thanks for your http://visualjquery.com/ link. Will hop to it!

Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst - any good AJAX tutes?
I've had some very good results with Dojo and Catalyst for AJAX. A couple of components in our app show this exceptionally - a table of contents based on a folding tree, and a grid backed by an SQL query, using to display filtered search results in different sort orders, etc. The grid will automatically request rows as it needs to, through a JSON-writing TT file, based on the built-in Dojo QueryReadStore - most of Dojo can use data stores that are backed in this way, and these can draw from most any request. Sorting was also more or less built-in. The folding tree was harder, as we were stuck with a legacy XML format from the old Microsoft MSDN site. This was implemented by a view that generated JSON from the legacy XML. Both worked well for us, and allowed us to develop rich front-end behaviour while hiding all the awful parts that we wanted to abstract away from. Dojo is weak in documentation compared to some, but rapidly improving. However, the main documentation site is pretty full of examples. Neither of these parts of the system ended up taking more than a couple of days to develop. If you stick close to the out of box functionality, all is fairly easy - if you want to develop your own widgets or data stores, it can get harder. Certainly, Catalyst made developing AJAX functionality in Dojo simpler and quicker than I had expected. All the best Stuart Neo [GC] wrote: Hi, depends on the javascript-lib you are using for AJAX.

Re: [Catalyst] Catalyst - any good AJAX tutes?
hello, all :) thanks for the responses to help me out. I was wondering if there are any good tutes that can be recommended for a perl programmer to 1) learn enough to set up the javascript itself ( be it in jQuery, dojo or anything you prefer) 2) learn enough about how to intercept the ajax request in the controller and send it back to the page ( ie JSON)? -tutes in relation to the cause above in areas of JSON (yes aside from Catalyst::View::JSON) , jQuery or dojo would be really good. I am sure there's a lotta folks who got catalyst apps built (thanks, Jon!) but have yet to use AJAX/JSON or any of these good stuff. Hence, a lot of work has been put in place to reload forms, preserve parameter values and so forth. With AJAX,i guess we hope to cut down on development time and also, to improve the application in terms of usability. More recommendations/tute suggestions please :) thank you :) K.
