I've done a fair amount of AJAX w/ lesser web frameworks (Spring Web, blech)
but haven't had the opportunity to do much w/ WO yet. Given that Project
Wonder already supports Prototype, I guess I'd use that, but on previous
project I found Dojo to be pretty good. I've also heard good things about
JQuery, although I haven't used it.
I also found the JavaScript Shell (http://www.squarefree.com/shell/) to be
invaluable. Just add the bookmark in Firefox, then open a web page and
click on the bookmark. It'll launch another windows into which you can run
arbitrary JavaScript against the page you're looking at. Very useful for
experimentation, prototyping, debugging, etc.

Hi Jess,
We've been using lots of prototype, excellent for ajax and is the
basis for script.aculo.us. Scriptaculous/Prototype are the basis
for the Project Wonder ajax framework, which is a great way to get started
doing ajax with wo.
Prototype:
http://www.prototypejs.org/
Wonder:
http://wonder.sourceforge.net/
some Ajax framework docs, but download the Ajax Examples with project
wonder.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:WebObjects/Project_WONDER/
Frameworks/Ajax
It should be noted that starting to use ajax with your apps (if you are
going to account for and deal with all of the possible error
states) has a high development time cost, especially as your codebase grows.
These days we are doing an ever increasing amount of ajax work. We use a
mixture of prototype, project wonder, and our own JS (which we will probably
be deprecating since prototype does an excellent
job). The apps that we're using it in range from forms with
related pulldowns/form fields that change fairly often, in place page
replacement and editing, and basically any time we want to avoid a page
refresh. We've found that once you've ajaxified one portion of your app, it
isn't long before everything is ajax.
later,
asa
