Newbie Q: how to append html on ajaxForm submission

[Lukasz Kuczera]

Hi Folks,
I've hard time to figure out how to append html snippet after ajaxForm
is submitted. I know how to make it in jQuery but i would prefer to
have it in one place. My code is: http://pastebin.com/wgAXd2ag

I would love to have AppendHtml(afterId: String, body: NodeSeq)
method.

So i've solved it on my own :D Using jQuery in Lift :D
Lift is so complex but once you wrap your head around it is so easy :D

There is an AppendHtml object in net.liftweb.http.js.jquery.JqJsCmds
that generates a JsCmd.
AppendHtml("my-element-id", <span>append me</span>)
Is this what you're looking for?

Thanks ced, I've used something like: JqId("new-comment") >>
JqAppend(<p>Posted By: {author}<br/>{text}</p>)
But AppendHtml is more eye pleasant :)

Glad you found the answer... and yes... it's good to build your own JavaScript helpers for Lift.  Most of the JavaScript stuff that's currently in Lift is based on the helpers I and some other committers have used... thus they are not complete.

More generally, there's no need to prefix your email subjects with "Newbie".  We're all newbies on this list.  I asked a "newbie" question about json yesterday and I've got more Lift experience than anyone else with Lift. ;-)

Please ask polite questions (and yours are).  Please help others when you know the answer.  Please help make this community better!
