Is there a togglable ajax button in lift?

[Jonathan Ferguson]

I've looked through the API and couldn't find anything that seemed suitable.

We need an ajax button that when clicked will fire an event to the server and then toggle the button text. This could be by having two different buttons and only showing one. 

Cheers

I haven't tried it, but I'm pretty sure that if you give the button an id you should be able to fire the text change from the AJAX handler. Something like:

import net.liftweb.http.js._
import JE._

SHtml.ajaxButton("Click me!", () => { doSomethingServerSide(); JsCmds.SetElemById("myButton", "Click me again!", "innerHtml")}, "id" -> "myButton")

That's off the top of my head, so let me know if that doesn't work.
