Update URI dynamically

[lmendez2]

Hi everyone, I'm coming from a GWT background and we are moving to
Lift for a new project at work so I'm still a beginner (go easy...).

I'm having trouble finding how to change URl dynamically without
changing the page (all done via javascript, idMemoize, ajax) via Lift;
I know this was possible in GWT with history tokens.

So my URL is of the form: "/page/4e419938e4b0cbb268e46215" and once I
press a certain button it needs to update the URL to "/page/
4e419938e4b0cbb268e46215?row=1&col=2"

This needs to be done dynamically as I don't want to reload the page
everytime a row or column is being changed, but a user may still need
to access a particular row/column by entering the URL combination
which is why I can't have them being state variables

Thanks!

Hi,

There is no built in way of doing this on Lift (yet), but with a
little work you can get it done.

I have written about one way of doing this here

http://blog.fmpwizard.com/back-button-and-bookmark-meet-lift-comet-revi
there is also a link to a demo application that shows this working as
well as the full source code.

Hope it helps.

Diego

Thanks Diego! That definitely helps, though I was hoping I didn't have
to deal with JavaScript (I don't code all over the place), but I guess
I have no choice for now.

I have it on my list to improve on the example and reduce the amount
of javascript, but I haven't had much time for lift lately. But
whenever I come up with a better version of that sample app, I'll post
it on the mailing list.

Thanks

Diego

Hello.

You can try also jQuery Ajaxy http://balupton.github.com/jquery-ajaxy/demo/ .
I use it in my project successfully.
