ajaxed 0.3 released | Web Dev Bros

i have updated ajaxed (classic asp ajax library) to its 0.3 version. Thanks to all contributors who helped me with their feedback. Here are the updates…

working with prototype 1.6 now
working with JSON utility class 1.4
loading indicator stays now always on top of the screen. before it used to disappear if page scroll was not at the top
loading indicator has no styles by default anymore.. you have to be define them by yourself in your css file. definine the css class ‘ajaxLoadingIndicator’ and choose your custom style
more test have been added (also for recordsets)
added AJAXED_DBCONNECTION to the config.asp => you can open the DB connection automatically now for each page by default
renamed demo/index.asp to demo/default.asp because iis default installation has this already set

upgrading to the new version should be no problem if you did not change the source files of the previous version. The only thing you need to change is to add styles for the loading indicator. This helps us that everyone has its own indicator style

enjoy it download ajaxed 0.3. Please post you comments about the new version within this topic.

Thanks for your continue efforts now i found no reason to jump to .NET at least until host provider no longer supported classic asp scripting on their server.

Thanks alot ,,,
i need to reload a div or refresh an html table ?! anyhelp?

Can’t get the demo to work, i get this error:
ajaxed is not defined
default.asp line 1

i’m no js expert, and when i look at default.asp line 1, there’s no js,
obviously as it’s being dynamically written, and i can’t find why it’s giving
that error.

any help would be great as i’d love to try this

Shem

shem which browser do you use? can you check the sourcecode and see if ajaxed.js file is being loaded?

I’m using FF (latest version)
yes when using firebug, and i expand the link to prototype and ajaxed.js
i see that the file is not found.

currently it poibts like so:
/ajaxed/class_ajaxedPage/ajaxed.js

I need it to do this:
../class_ajaxedPage/ajaxed.js

where do i change the pointing of these two file?

Shem

shem i see the problem .. you need to put the /ajaxed folder into your webroot. so directly into the folder where the IIS is pointing to

I just modified:
componentLocation = lib.init(AJAXED_LOCATION, “/ajaxed/”)

To:
componentLocation = lib.init(AJAXED_LOCATION, “../”)

and it’s working now

Quick question, I want to use your framework in conjunction with my framework(small little framework) basically i want to use your framework to make serverside calls to functions, thats what really grabbed me about your framework.

My framework already handles my querys and stores my results in the
asp dictionary object, which lies in a vbscript class, 4 seperate functions that handle that process.

so is it possible to use your work to handle only onclick calls and postbacks?

Shem

shem, good that it works now … as for your other question: its not really easy just to use the server-side calls seperately … try to integrate your framework into mine .. that should be possible

Thank you very much !

I can’t seem to get my database examples working

can anyone help ?

function loaded(recs) {
for (i = 0; i <recs.length; i++) {
$('container').innerHTML += recs[i].column + "";
}
}
load

try again….

<%
Dim strSQL
strSQL = "SELECT title from employees"
set p = new AjaxedPage
p.DBConnection = true
p.draw()
sub init() : end sub
sub callback(action)
if action = "load" then
p.return(db.getRecordset(strSQL))
end if
end sub
sub main()
>%
function loaded(recs) {
for (i = 0; i <recs.length; i++) {
$('container').innerHTML += recs[i].column + "";
}
}
load
<%
end sub
>%

<%
Dim strSQL
strSQL = "SELECT title from employees"
set p = new AjaxedPage
p.DBConnection = true
p.draw()

<div id="container"></div>

</form>
<%
end sub

JP what error do u get?

it returns “undefined” for each record instead of actual value.

The db connection string is correct — I tested with non-ajax code

JP you need to replace “column” by the name of your table column. in your case its “title” i guess… remember that the columnnames are all lowercase.

//instead of...
$('container').innerHTML += recs[i].column + "<br>";
//this...
$('container').innerHTML += recs[i].title + "<br>";

thanks,

is there a manual somewhere that I can download ?

JP there is documentation of the library if you go to /ajaxed/index.html on your server … you can also post questions in an own discussion group which can be found here
have fun!
