I notice that you have noted the ajax code as "firefox-windows" only. Have you done some work towards other browsers?

Silvio and I have been working on separate paths going toward the same goal
of making an all Ajax powered web app. With the help of Michael Nuwer, I
have developed a browse and seek module that can be attached to any web
form.
To save you some time up front, this module works with Windows and FireFox
only. So if you do not use that and don't want to then just stop reading.
While my database is MySQL I believe it can be used with any data source.
The information is displayed on a grid which pops up when the user clicks
the button.
The drop in module will allow the programmer (you) to specify any number of
columns to be displayed in the grid.
1. Sortable columns of data
2. Ability to move through data table like a desktop application
3. Start a new and abitray search.
4. Backfill data elements on the form on which it is located.
Using ajax to communicate with the web server is significantly faster than
other more traditional forms of communication with the web server. But more
importantly if your web applications are like mine ( I have already
developed a single web form for add/edit/delete of records), this makes your
applications appear much more like a desktop application. The only screen
updates the user sees are the data element updates.
I am not sure if there is any interest or need out there for this type of
module, but I would be willing to post and share this code in the 3rd party
1. Code snippets that are placed on your web form
2. A javaScript file.
3. Two data retrivial dBase apps
4. My own little quirky datamodule for formatting the sql query.
As my company will not allow the sending of zip files, I have included all
the source code in a single .txt file along with specific instructions on
how to implement.
Coding can always be improved and features enhanced, so feed back is
welcome. I only work two days a week Monday and Friday so if you post a
reply to this message please be patient in getting a response.
