Hello all,

We are looking for a simple js function/object that allows performing an ajax request of GET or POST.

Can someone direct us to one?

thank you,

@toicontienJan 10.2007 — developer.apple.com has a good article on it: http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/xmlhttpreq.html

Some notes from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/obj_xmlhttprequest.asp

And finally, there are oodles of javascript frameworks to choose from. Some I've worked with:

Mootools: http://mootools.net/

Scriptaculous: http://script.aculo.us/

@ramiab1authorJan 10.2007 — Thank you for your reply. Just forgot to mention that we are looking for a simple js funtion, not a framework like scriptaculous/dojo.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

@toicontienJan 11.2007 — Prototype is pretty good. Scriptaculous is built on top of Prototype. It's a bit bloated if you ask me. I really do prefer mootools. You can custom build your own javascript library. We use it on [url=http://www.motortopia.com/]Motortopia.com[/url] and if all you want is AJAX functionality, you can probably get away from the mootools site with a 10 to 12 KB javascript file. Still bloated in my opinion, but much smaller than the 35KB that Prototype is after you compress it.

Success!
