I want to convert my AJAX application to use HTML_AJAX.
Here's how I have things set up right now (pre HTML_AJAX):
1. Manually create a GET request
2. Submit it using XMLHttpRequest
3. Process it using PHP and convert the results to JSON
4. eval() the JSON in a callback function and operate on the results
Can someone point me at an example showing me how to do this using
HTML_AJAX?
All the examples I can find generally assume you're sending back HTML
and want to shove it into a div. I don't want this because I want to
be able to manipulate the data on the client w/o refetching it from
the server. (I also need to be able to pass parameters to the server.)
I feel HTML_AJAX should be able to handle the JSON (de)serialization
for me and let me operate on it within a callback, but I'm not quite
sure how.
Thanks.
