Server Updates

Sunday, April 23rd, 2006

Do to lots of problems with my old server i’ve moved to a new hosting company, and have been in the process of moving all the old content. Due to some issues beyond my control the move was forced on me before things were ready so there have been more problems then I like.

If you see any 404’s or missing content please let me know.

HTML_AJAX 0.4.0 is released

Friday, April 7th, 2006

HTML_AJAX 0.4.0 has been released. You can upgrade using the PEAR package manager in the normal ways.

The biggest new feature is the addition of a setInnerHTML method that runs any JavaScript in the string your using to update and elements innerHTML property and the addition of an ordered queue. The ordered queue makes your AJAX requests return to the client in the same order they were sent. One of the biggest area’s this comes into play is when creating livesearch implementations or any other time you’re making lots of AJAX requests and overwriting the results of the earlier ones with the results of latter ones.

More details (including a place to put testing results for your browser of choice) are available in the release notes on the HTML_AJAX wiki.

I’d also like to thank Laurent Yaish for helping with the testing of this release and Arpad Ray for working with me until we got the optimal implementation of setInnerHTML.

You should really buy my AJAX book.
You'll learn not only the technology you need for implementation but also an understanding that will help you get the most from AJAX.
You'll also have my eternal thanks :-)
