Switch to jQuery instead of Prototype?

[MarcusT]

I am keen to use Ajaxed but am already using jQuery and don't want to
have to load Prototype as well, not to mention that one way or the
other I will have to alter code either in my own applications or in
Ajaxed to make the two libraries play nicely together.

Is there any plan to (or would you consider) altering Ajaxed so that
it uses jQuery + jQuery UI instead of Prototype, or perhaps to give
users a choice between the two somehow?

hi marcus,
there were already some requests for jquery and i planned to do it .. but so far there was no time...
you are welcome to help ;)

happy easter.

Which scripts (whether client-side or server-side) do you think will
need changing - just ajaxed.js or more?

actually just ajaxed.org and the scripts within datatable. That should be all.

suggestion: jQuery versions of these files could be written and the appropriate files loaded due to a configuration setting.

Doesn't the Ajaxed console make use of Prototype & Scriptaculous too?

oh ... yep you are completely right. this need to be rewritten as well.

are you planning to take a deeper look?

Unfortunately I'm not that familiar with the inner workings of Ajaxed (and the test suite) and you are, so I suspect that you could jQuery-ify (and properly test/debug) it in a fraction of the time it would take me, so don't think that it would be a very productive use of my time.

Perhaps you could do it in two stages, the ajaxed & datatable scripts first (most important, affecting end users), the console later (only for developers)?

I also think you should use it as an opportunity to re-factor the Ajaxed code in such a way so that anyone else could write a handler for their own favourite library (e.g. YUI) without needing to touch the main Ajaxed code? (Otherwise someone will inevitably ask about YUI/Dojo/etc and you'll have to do it all again)

Can't you just define some standard methods which Ajaxed calls (and you will document somewhere), then all that needs to be done is for someone to write a wrapper for a given JavaScript library? You write ones for Prototype and jQuery and then anyone else is welcome to use them as example implementations for rolling their own for another library...

Hi Marcus,

I fully agree with you and I would love to spent the time. Unfortunately I do not have that time and therefore those implementations are missing. However, If someone has more time and wants to touch that issue then I would totally support him with my knowledge.

And you have to change ajaxed/class_ajaxedPage/ajaxedPage.asp
