Ahah Forms Framework: Ajax + FormAPI = More Responsive UI

CMS: Drupal

Friday - 1:45pm - Friday - 2:45pm

Description:

The inclusion of the jQuery JavaScript library in Drupal 5.0 has opened up the possibility of more responsive user interfaces. Use of Ajax/Ahah techniques to do incremental page updates can create a more satisfying interaction, but it also requires some rethinking of how you structure your module.

The session will provide an overview of the issues involved in creating JavaScript-enabled forms that do incremental page updates. I will also present my work towards a generic framework which extends the FormAPI to auto-generate the necessary JavaScript.
