Hello,
I have a dilema and maybee you can help. We are developing a site which requires
some ajax and visual features like:
drop down menus on mouse over
submit over ajax a checkbox state change
star rateing like on yahoo music
submit a form in background and change the content of a div with the reply
from the server
drag and drop sort
add new form list elements on the fly with autocomplete or validation
feature
For a better understanding I created a page where visually all features I need
are displayed.
http://demo.webnova.ro/el
Based on these information which JavaScript libaray you would recommend? I need
a library that could do these features I require.
Is there any which can make all of these?
As I heared prototype is a good one and easy to learn but I can''t tell
if it has the features mentioned above.
If you would be able to do these functionalities, how much it would costs me?
Thank you very much for your time answering this letter,
Best regards,
Peter Csaba

Hello Christophe, Thank you replying to my message (and others too). (http://demo.webnova.ro/el/) Based on your suggestion I''ll try to create the below (old message) mentioned features using Prototype. I''m shure I''ll get the support from this group in order to reallize what I need. (thank you!) Unfortunately Prototype and scripts.aculo lacks a page with examples. Users like me who are not that familiar with the script would like to see as much examples as possible gathered in one place in order to be able to choose from different solutions. As the google group permits adding pages to the group maybee it would be an ideea that everybody who has a sample page to add it to the group. http://groups-beta.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs/web I started by adding the context menu sample to the page (realised by somebody else from this group). Others are wellcome to do so too. If I suceed to create the features mentioned in http://demo.webnova.ro/el/ I''ll add these samples aswell so others can learn from it too. Any help in this area is wellcome. "Christophe Porteneuve : my book is hitting the shelves on Wednesday, and documents just about everything you need thoroughly. Just look me up on eyrolles.com." Did you book finish? can we see it somewhere?

I''d suggest using the script.aculo.us wiki for this: http:// wiki.script.aculo.us/ There are already lots of demos and example on there, plus of course the http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/RealWorldUsage page that lists lots of live stuff.
