AJAX Framework

Overview

The AJAX Framework is a cross browser framework that allows developers to quickly develop web pages that can call web services, web pages and other types of content through JavaScript without having to submit the current page.

The AJAX Framework is:

Easy to use.
Works well with other existing frameworks.
Supports both "GET" and "POST".
Works with Internet Explorer 6+, Opera 8+, Safari 3+, Firefox 2+ and other Mozilla based browsers.

Try It

callPage example:

This example uses the callPage method to retrieve the contents of another page and display the contents using an alert call.

Examples

callPage example:


                function pageCallback(response){
                alert(response);
                }

                

                
                var ajax = new AJAX();

                ajax.callPage("mypage.html", pageCallback);

serviceCall example:


                function serviceCallback(response){
                alert(response);
                }

                

                
                var ajax = new AJAX();

                ajax.callService("MyWebService.asmx", "MyMethodToCall", serviceCallback);

serviceCall with parameters example:


                function serviceCallback(response){
                alert(response);
                }

                

                
                var ajax = new AJAX();

                /* paramters are added to the end of the callService method in key=value pairs. */

                ajax.callService("MyWebService.asmx", "MyMethodToCall", serviceCallback, "myParameter1=hello", "myParameter2=world");

serviceCall with custom namespace example:


                function serviceCallback(response){
                alert(response);
                }

                

                
                var ajax = new AJAX();

                /* set new namespace for use with web service. */

                ajax.setNameSpace("http://mynamespaceuri/");

                ajax.callService("MyWebService.asmx", "MyMethodToCall", serviceCallback, "myParameter1=hello", "myParameter2=world");

error handling example:


                /* by default the errors are alerted.  To suppress this you must redirect them. */

                function myErrorHandler(error){
                alert(error);
                }

                

                
                var ajax = new AJAX();

                ajax.onError = myErrorHandler;
