Ajax

How to on building a feed reader with the Zend Framework, Smarty and HTML Ajax.

I recently needed to port some existing php code which used Ajax over to the Zend Framework. While there are several tutorials out there with lots of details, I didn’t find a simple example that would just get me started with how to work Ajax calls into the MVC framework architecture. Eventually, I figured things out by referring to several different tutorials and doing a good amount of Googling. I decided it might be useful to have a very simple example of porting an existing Ajax app to the Zend Framework.

The ext js framework has a great grid component. In this tutorial I explain how you can provide it with data from a zend framework application

In an earlier article "Gluing Ajax with the Zend Framework" I'm using a doclet called @ajaxaction to mark actions that are handling Ajax requests.
If using the Prototype, jQuery or mootools libary, these requests differ from pure HTTP request by having a currently non-standard "X-Requested-With = XMLHttpRequest" header and their response mostly doesn't get rendered via a view. Unless you might use AXAH(Asychronous XHTML and HTTP) where the server might respond with snippets of XHTML to insert into the targeted DOM area.

Recently I put together a reusable Ajax form validation component that I'd like to share. It is a JavaScript object that collects the values of all of the elements in a form, sends it for processing to the server, and displays any errors. If there are no errors it submits the form.
