[FX.php List] Ajax/LAJAX's JavaScript requirements

[Andy Gaunt]

Hi Joel,

We are using it on FMPug and also on a couple of client sites.

On FMPug we are using it in the News Area, the Feature Requests, The
Pawfolio's and Business Directory that are public facing.

We also use it for chapter admins for the creation of meetings etc.

Oh, and also for all non FMPug coordinators they have an AJAX interface to
update their details on both FMPug and also the FileMaker.com user group
listings (all housed in our FileMaker database)

It makes for a very clean user interface and enhances the use of the sites.

Hi all

I've just been playing w/ LAJAX and it's very cool, but I'm wondering  
how practical it is to use in a real site because of its JavaScript  
requirements (this would be for anything using Ajax).  I doubt many  
people these days disable JavaScript on their browser, but because  
it's a possibility, it seems you'd need to test for it first and then  
provide other options for when JS is disabled (or provide  
instructions for the user to enable it).  Also, I notice that LAJAX  
requires JavaScript 1.2, but that seems likely a non-issue since that  
came out in 1997 (or is it?).

How are people dealing with this?  Anyone using it in production?

Thanks,
-Joel
