AJAX actions?

Archived from the Xataface Users forum.

I have a situation where I want to have some forms on a page, and clicking the submit button on such a form would do a few things:

  1. Make an asynchronous call to a particular Xataface action, passing in a couple parameters.

  2. Display a message in the page itself to indicate that the action was performed.

Does Xataface support something like this out-of-the-box or will I need to roll my own solution here?

Thanks in advance!

Well, Xataface does include an ajax wrapper library to make this easier (see js/ajaxgold.js) . And you can implement custom actions to return in JSON or XML format that is kind to ajax. But other than that you’ll have to stitch the pieces together.
