A Javascript tutorial that explains how to build in the continuous page scrolling that Dzone uses on its front page. Includes source code and working example.
Quite often we need to load js files dynamically right from javascript. With ASP.NET AJAX it is simple. ASP.NET AJAX library has internal ScriptLoader class that can be used to load js files, specify callbacks that will be invoked when script is downloaded and ready, and execute functions inside newly loaded files. I will not list all available methods from ScriptLoader class - you can see them in more details in AJAX source. I will demonstrate how to load files and execute some functions in it.
Last few days I am working on grailstutorials and this is the first time that I am doing some bigger project than experimenting with Grails. While so far I had that feeling now it is even more clear to me while development with Grails is so easy and fast. I will try to share my understanding how high efficiency is achieved when working with grails. Let us see what more or less common web application requires to be implemented: (This list is not full list and I can add number of points into this list)
3 Editors for ASP.NET and why I chose FreeTextBox.
With this article, my goal is to show you how easy it is to implement basic element selection and then add some nice dynamic retrieval of content through AJAX by using DOMAssistant.
When we first came up with the idea for IdeaPipe (no pun intended), we saw a need to fill a void in the social networking landscape. There are countless sites dedicated to connecting friends, classmates and business associates, sites that provide opinions and commentary around a specific topic and even sites that simply point to other sites, but there were few if any that enabled individuals or groups to share their ideas for the purposes of gathering feedback, collaborating or simply being heard.

Parisian coder Eric Abouaf (aka “Neyric”) released version 0.1.0 of his YUI-based forms library, inputEx.
Sometimes it can be a challenge designing a form that provides great functionality, while not loosing its visual appeal. Check out some great ideas to design your next form.
While we develop AJAX applications, we often carelessly ignore giving up bad practices, which cause effects which are not so significantly visible when the site is not so large in volume. But, it’s often severe performance issue when it is the case for sites that make heavy use of AJAX technologies such as Pageflakes, NetVibes etc.

A new data store has been added to the Dojo Ajax Toolkit that uses Google's Feed API to enable you to load any Atom or RSS feed directly to your web page. With no server side redirect scripts for you to write or worry about. Load any feed, from any site, in less than 10 lines of JavaScript.
The CalendarExtender is an ASP.NET AJAX control that is associated with a TextBox control. When the user clicks on the TextBox, a client-side Calendar control pops up. The user can then set a date by clicking on a day, navigate months by clicking on the left and right arrow and perform other such actions without a postback. In this article, we will see some tips and tricks that can be applied to a CalendarExtender control.
A bunch of new tools have been added to the Dojo Ajax Toolkit that make it amazingly simple to search all of Googles services from your own site, and display the results however you want. Examples show how to integrate Google with the Dojo Grid, and with the Django templating language. And all with zero server side dependancies!
How to create a data view where view increments i.e new rows can be appended via ajax, without having to refresh the complete view
A common concern of most Ajax applications has been around their resulting accessibility. While, arguably, it's possible to design some form of a usable web page without the use of JavaScript it should be possible - with the additional scripting information - to provide a better experience to users. It's at this point that the ARIA specification comes into play. A large set of interaction is defined within it which is able to help web applications communicate directly to a screen reader in an effective manner.

See, the web already was accessible to everyone.

Modal windows seem to be the rage these days and somewhat synonymous with “Web 2.0.” And yes, options exist, whether it be Lightbox, Thickbox, or .NET AJAX — to name a few. What if a scenario arises where you do not need such full featured capability?
Performance is one of the primary motivations for enhancing applications with Ajax. Ajax can improve response time by communicating with the server without full-page requests. By reducing response time, Ajax can provide a significantly better user experience...
For me there is no doubt that Grails is currently the most exciting existing web framework. But these days when talking about web development first thing that comes into mind is AJAX. And of course there is number of AJAX plugins for the grails (GWT, Flex, YahooUI...). But what when you need only simple AJAX functionality. Do you really have to include some of these big frameworks.
In this article I set out to breathe new life into the types of alerts, dialogs and prompts that are available to ASP.NET developers. In ASP.NET web development we are typically limited to what the browser can support. I am sure that most of us are very familiar with the JavaScript alert() and confirm() dialogs. They are limited, not customizable, and do not support any rich HTML content.
Today we have a round up of useful CSS, Ajax, Tutorials, tools, Graphics and articles we have found in April that is worth your time.
