New Scripts | Ajax

An Ajax based application could work with XML, JavaScript, CSS and a little bit of HTML. Other programming languages could be part of this client side programming technique but they are often regarded as an add-on and not a part of Ajax. The combination of these programming languages has made Ajax into one of the most powerful programming techniques. Instead of simple websites, highly interactive Ajax based online applications are created. It can even be said that the reality of cloud computing has been made possible because of the advancement of Ajax based applications. But when it comes to programming, Ajax is one of the most difficult to code and maintain. The variables

Creating an Ajax based application with XML ensures functionality and ease of development from developers. Because of XML’s ability to work with different browsers and programming languages, XML enable developers to build applications not just based on JavaScript for Ajax but other programming languages that combine the best functionalities. XML ensures mash-ups of different frameworks for JavaScript and Ajax. This means the possibilities in the application is almost endless. The improvement of XML on Ajax cannot be possible with the help of DHTML. This lightweight yet highly dynamic version of HTML provides the interaction while maintaining one of the best features of HTML

Style sheets are gaining importance in many websites and online applications. Because of its ability to provide real time data with little to no effort, it has become a very powerful tool by developers who wanted interactive online applications. As long as CSS is properly implemented, developers and users can expect a powerful application with highly efficient data retrieval capability. But aside from client side programming languages, developers could also opt to implement CSS in non-interactive websites. Even HTML based websites can use CSS so that it could update users on the data they need in their website.

The language attribute in JavaScript is probably one of the most ignored attribute in an Ajax based application. This form of attribute has become so familiar that developers have started to ignore it. The language attribute in JavaScript may just look like a simple command for the browser but without it, the application will not work. This basic function will practically set the stage for other codes to be interpreted in the browser. As JavaScript and Ajax increases its functionality, the importance of properly using language attribute in these types of application is also realized.

Virto Calendar enables users to view all of their events from different data sources (SharePoint Lists, Microsoft Exchange Calendars and SQL Tables) in one single calendar! It also has the ability to bind from those different data sources to create a new calendar event. Most other calendars only use one data source, and display it in one view.

Key Features of Virto Calendar: - Integrate events from different data sources into one single calendar (from SharePoint Lists, SQL Tables and Microsoft Exchange 2007& 2010 Calendars) - Add, delete and edit events with drag & drop feature - Multi-level color coding - Audience Targeting Support - Advanced filtering, displaying only items satisfied to the specific criteria - Print any Calendar View

Drag’n drop generally looks hard-to-apply but it is definitely not by using JavaScript frameworks. Here is, how it is done by using jQuery & jQuery UI.

jQuery is a well-known and famous lightweight, fast and concise JavaScript Library. jQuery simplifies various task for us like HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is great library to reduce our JavaScript coding so they quote "jQuery: The Write Less, Do More". jQuery was released on January 2006 at BarCamp NYC by John Resig under the MIT License and the GNU General Public License, jQuery is free and open source software. jQuery is very versatile and easy to use, provides great flexibility in designing and development. Considering such great features of jQuery both Microsoft (jQuery will be distributed with Visual Studio) and Nokia (jQuery to develop applications for their WebKit-based Web Run-Time) are taking the major step of adopting jQuery as part of their official application development platform.

MaxTreeGrid is fast, user-friendly, highly-productive treegrid control which offers a wide set of built in functionalities, namely drag-and-drop, sorting and filtering ones, and gives the possibility to extend them in many custom-defined ways as well.

The Work Around in Content Loading for Faster Performance It is always a challenge for developers to establish an application wherein all functions should be able to execute not just well but fast. This is even more challenging for Ajax based developers since as an RIA, it has to provide optimum user experience and the only way to do that is to develop an efficient and fast application. That is possible when all functions load up really fast. If one function load less faster than others, it will not perform as expected. ASP.Net Ajax has provided a smart way of accelerating the speed of content loading. In gist, you can accelerate the speed of content loading when you control each function so that the server could focus on each function. Instead of dividing the server to different functions, this simple trick lets the server focus on a single function and executes faster than the original plan.

In this quick tutorial we will show how-to create such an Ajax upload form using the jQuery Form plug-in and our easy upload class.
