Ajax example

[meltedown]

This is supposed ot be an example:

http://www.ajaxtutorial.net/index.ph...totype-part-2/

It says :

This example is probably the simplest example you will ever find.
We are going to use the prototype feature ‘ajax.Updater’ (see part one
for more details on prototype).

ajax.Updater allows you to specify an element ID and script URL - and
whatever the script URL prints will appear in your element ID. Simple as
that.

I would love to see such an example. Unfortunately, there is no example
on that page.

Does anyone know where there is such an example ?

Besides the simple examples on Ajax.Updater's home page?

http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptac...w/Ajax.Updater

That is Google's first citation for "Ajax.Updater". ..

Eh?

In the middle of the page at the link above?
Clearly marked with a green "Examples" heading?

Listen to your brain - it has a lot of information.

I see where it says "Examples" but there is no example, only code snippets.
The example should look like this : a form with a text field. When you
add text to the field, the text appears on the page.

You're kidding, right?

it isn't a tutorial on how to make a form post a textfield to
some serverside script, neither a tutorial on how to make serverside
script that returns some text bak to you.

You surely know how to do the two things above?

It show you an example how to use that particular function
to update an element with the response of a given serverside script.

I can make a form, but I don't know how to use ajax to update text on a
page. There's lots of examples where the results are put into an alert
box, but I've never seen one where the result appears on the page
without reloading the page.

No it doesn't. It shows the code, but there is no working example.

You don't use "ajax" to update the page. You use ajax to retrieve the
data from the server. Then, you use that response and update the page.
Check the group FAQ for DynWrite (see my signature) for a function that
will update the page.

There's lots of examples where the results are put into an alert
box, but I've never seen one where the result appears on the page
without reloading the page.

Instead of alert('somethin g') you do
document.getEle mentById('someI D').innerHTML = 'something';, or, you
DynWrite it.

>It show you an example how to use that particular function

No it doesn't. It shows the code, but there is no working example.

If you can't take code from the manual and make it work, you need a
different approach.

I don't understand why I can't just ask for a working example without
all the snarky responses. If there is no working example of what I'm
asking for, fine, but that's what I'm looking for.

First, a "complete working example" would have to include the server
side code as well, or, use a static file.
Second, you didn't get a "snarky" response, you got an honest one.
Third, I doubt - very seriously - that you will find very many "complete
working examples" on the web of a complete ajax application.
