I am using YUI (version 2.4.1) datatable for tabular data rendering. I needed to allow the users to have the ability to select one or more rows using checkboxes and then submit them to the server for further action. Up to this point you can find sample code on YUI website or other sites if you search around. Continue reading

AJAX Grid Widget
For a recent project I was using Yahoo’s YUI datatable component. With YUI often you can copy code from their site and tweak it to your needs. That to me is a sign of great developer documentation. This is especially needed in case of lots of JavaScript code. I have spent hours trying to figure out why code works in Firefox and not in IE. Only to find an extra comma inside my JSON code. IE is not forgiving regarding the extra comma. Continue reading
Choice of Java frameworks (jdk 1.4)

Spring-WS
Took a look at Spring-WS and came up with a quick example service to describe its use. I decided to build the not-so-exciting but yet functional ‘echo’ service. Send in a text and it will echo that back with a date and time appended to the text. Continue reading

AJAX Roundup
Recently I have been playing with various AJAX frameworks, both open source and commercial. For simple ‘update a certain portion of the page only’ type of applications you can roll up your sleeve and deal with the XMLHttpRequest (XHR) directly or use open source API’s like Prototype/DOJO to simply make the call.
