5 Ways to Make Ajax Calls with jQuery

There are at least five ways to make AJAX calls with the jQuery library. For beginners, however, the differences between each can be a bit confusing. In this tutorial, we'll line them up and make a comparison. Additionally. we'll review how to inspect these AJAX calls with Firebug as well. This section is for those who have no idea what AJAX is. If you don't fall into this category, feel free to skip to the next section. In Gmail, switch from inbox to draft. The key to AJAX's concept is "asynchronous". Now we should know what AJAX actually is. For static content, we may want the response cached. The most common use of AJAX is for loading HTML from a remote location and injecting it into the DOM. Click on the first button named "load()." Below is the JavaScript code for this effect: $.ajaxSetup forces the browser NOT to cache AJAX calls.After the button is clicked, it takes a little while before the new HTML is loaded. Now, let's explore more details of the request with Firebug:

3 mistakes to avoid when using jQuery with ASP.NET AJAX - Encosia Note: This post is part of a long-running series of posts covering the union of jQuery and ASP.NET: jQuery for the ASP.NET Developer. Topics in this series range all the way from using jQuery to enhance UpdatePanels to using jQuery up to completely manage rendering and interaction in the browser with ASP.NET only acting as a backend API. If the post you're viewing now is something that interests you, be sure to check out the rest of the posts in this series. Over the past few weeks, I think I have definitely embodied Jeff Atwood‘s claim that we’re all amateurs, learning together. Despite my best efforts to thoroughly test before posting, a few problems slipped through in my recent posts about using jQuery to consume ASP.NET JSON serialized web services and using jQuery to call ASP.NET AJAX page methods. On the bright side, your great feedback in both posts’ comments has reinforced the fact that some of the best content on my blog is the part that you write.

Mobile In Minutes With Sinatra Sinatra is described as a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort. Sinatra makes it extremely easy to host a web application and expose RESTful services. Here we’ll show how this allows you to get mobile applications up and running in minutes with Sinatra.

When it comes to lightweight client-side communication, I’ve noticed that many of you prefer ASP.NET AJAX’s page methods to full ASMX web services. In fact, page methods came up in the very first comment on my article about using jQuery to consume ASMX web services.

Event Delegation One of the hot methodologies in the JavaScript world is event delegation, and for good reason. Event delegation allows you to avoid adding event listeners to specific nodes; instead, the event listener is added to one parent. That event listener analyzes bubbled events to find a match on child elements.

wiki:retrieving_data With the first release of jqGrid, the only possible way to obtain data was via XML as described in the tutorial above. Later, many people requested the ability to obtain data via JSON, then with an array and finally with 'real' names. After lot of work and with the help of the community we now have a wide range of methods for obtaining data. The related options (in options array) for manipulating different types of data are: datatype: the possible options are xml json jsonp array xmlstring jsonstring script function (…)

I Did It My Way Ajax has been around for a while now but that doesn’t mean it is any less fun. The nice thing about Sinatra is you are left to do as much or little JavaScript as you like and you can do it in any way that you want as well. In this ditty I hope to show that it’s easy to add some Ajax magic to a Sinatra app (with a little help from a JavaScript framework). Set Up the App First of all we will build a very simple app.

Blog Archive » jQuery Performance Rules Once upon a time, all we needed to worry about was reducing Bytes and Requests and playing around with load order to make things faster. Nowadays, we are increasingly impacting one more major component in performance – CPU utilization. Using jQuery and other frameworks that make selecting nodes and DOM manipulation easy can have adverse affects if you’re not careful and follow some simple practices for reducing the work the browser has to do. Get started with Sinatra This article first appeared in issue 239 of .net magazine – the world's best-selling magazine for web designers and developers. Most famous for Ruby on Rails, Ruby is fun, easy to use, easy to understand and easy to learn. Sinatra is a very different framework, which is written in under 2,000 lines of Ruby and doesn’t enforce model-view-controller (MVC) or ship with different tools, configuration files or scaffolding. Sinatra applications are often a single file that contain just enough to get the job done.

jQuery Intellisense in VS 2008 Last month I blogged about how Microsoft is extending support for jQuery. Over the last few weeks we've been working with the jQuery team to add great jQuery intellisense support within Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Web Developer 2008 Express (which is free). This is now available to download and use. Steps to Enable jQuery Intellisense in VS 2008 11 proven practices for more effective, efficient peer code review Our team at SmartBear Software® has spent years researching existing code review studies and collecting "lessons learned" from more than 6000 programmers at more than 100 companies. Clearly, people find bugs when they review code, but the reviews often take too long to be practical. We used the information gleaned through years of experience to create the concept of lightweight code review.
