    Collaboration: Portal and AJAX

    ** This thread discusses the article: Collaboration: Portal and AJAX **
    The first paragraph has a bit of a typo. Change Asynchronous Java and XML to Asynchronous JavaScript and XML and it is less confusing to pointy haired managers. Good article. I have seen several "AJAX Portals" out there. A couple of google hits:[*]https://light.dev.java.net/[*]http://www.netvibes.com/[*]http://www.backbase.com/[*]http://www.backbase.com/demos/travel/[*]http://projects.backbase.com/RUI/portal.html[*]http://myiosoft.com/?1.1.0.0 I look forward to seeing your take on the problem! -Brian

      Great article, Joe, promoting the practical uses of AJAX. We are using AJAX extensively in our portal product, Nexus. We use it to allow users to drag and drop portlets on their pages so they get instant page design functionality (AJAX is used to update the page layout database in the background), to poll the server in the background for instant messaging and chat, to dynamically build explorer-like trees (instead of loading the entire tree each time) and for dynamically loading individual portlet content, as per your article. All this is done using ILE CGI (RPG, CL and C) on the backend, so it is running very 'close to the metal'. Further to your comment about debugging dynamic HTML, FireFox has a FireFox Developer's Toolbar plugin available (use Google to search for it). This toolbar lets you see generated HTML, not just the original. So if you use AJAX to inject HTML into your page (with the innerHTML property, for example), FireFox can actually show you (very easily) the resulting source.
