And finally we have an Ajax TreeView Control :)

Often I find myself doing a lot of "hand-waving" when trying to explain what it is Ra-Ajax and other server-side Ajax Frameworks are doing to people who doesn't know from before. To avoid that in the future I feel a "definition" or "word" to refer by is in its place for what separates GWT, ExtGWT, Anthem and Ra-Ajax from the JavaScript centric Ajax Frameworks like jQuery, Dojo and MooTools...

A small (actuallt quite big) writeup about how we implemented Comet (real-time HTTP Ajax) in Ra-Ajax...

More bugs are fixed, style logic refactoring, new Ajax Window Widgets added and cool enhancements to the Effects

A small writeup about how to create CSS sprites for the ones struggling with figuring out why their top and left coordinates are malfunctioning, repetitions isn't working and so on. Pretty detailed and easy explained I feel, though then again I don't get to have an opinion I guess ... ;)

Ra-Ajax 0.5 is out and among some of the features are Comet support,more "bling" and way cleaner code. Read up the rest here ... :)

A custom NAnt task for JavaScript minification utilizing JSMin.

This is just a teaser though since the release will not hit the download area before another week or two, but at least you can browse the samples and see where we're heading :)

Floating DIV layout is HARD. Here is the best solution for doing it I have seen in my entire life. Hope you enjoy it :)

Unit Testing is extremely important when creating complex code like for instance an Ajax Library. Here's a small tutorial about how to create Unit Tests for Ajax Libraries using WatiN and nUnit. Though the same principles also applies when creating Applications...

I'm trying here to argue against the statements some are making that flags Open Web and Ajax technology as communism...

7% less than a week after release. That must be the most successful SW release in history of mankind :)

The following screenshots shows Visual Studio debugging a remote Mono process running on a Linux box.

Google Chrome has literally spangled the web the last 36 hours, and I have seen most questions being answered, again and again and again. Though the one question people SHOULD ask is yet to be both asked and answered, at least in my view...

Today I tested Google Chrome in Ra-Ajax. Everything worked PERFECTLY! No "emergency hack" needed. I think that's a pretty strong testimonial towards our religious focus on following the Open Standards as given to use from the W3C.

Hopefully something useful for those with aspiring Ajax Framework developers inside of them. Code is MIT as normal...

Here's a (pretty long) description of how to *correctly* serialize a form for among other things submit to the server using the XHR object. Goes into why you shouldn't serialize disabled elements and so on. Hopefully of interest :)

Here's a nice to have Effect class for those with emerging Ajax Library developers inside of themselves :) I myself think that this is probably the "most generalized" effect class possible to create in JavaScript and very versatile for creating specialized "extension effects" on top of. Code at blog is MIT licensed, blog itself is GFDL (meaning you could even "steal" my entire blog if you wanted to)

Ra-Ajax is an Ajax library for ASP.NET (LGPL licensed) and here is the 0.4 release. Some of the new things are server-side events for most of the DOM events in addition to a complete Sample Website which doesn't require you to install MySQL or MSSQL etc) Also I am looking for a "slogan", please comment here if you have an opinion about the ones I suggest at the blog :)

Here is the JS summary for my free book about how to create an Ajax Library for ASP.NET. All chapters so far have been focusing on the core JavaScript parts though, so most of this should be valid as long as you're creating an Ajax Library for any platform (or no platform - pure "JS library") All the content in "the book" is Free Documentation Public License (FDPL - means copy, redistribute and modify as you wish :)

NEVER SIGN A NON-COMPETE CONTRACT!

I am leaving Gaia Ajax Widgets and starting a new Ajax Library. This time it'll be LGPL (PURE LGPL, no "no fork restrictions" or anything like that) Read up here why...

Our video guru; Jan Blomquist has created 8 new videos about how to use Gaia in different scenarios. These range from completely noob-level in regards to Gaia to relatively complex scenarios for more advanced users. So for those looking to a quick intro about our upcoming Glory release, here it is :)

Through creaking gears, screaming CPU’s and a blaze of melting hot metal Mozilla finally unveiled Firefox 3.0 final. The Mozilla server are suffering to handle all of the traffic that hit the server at 17:00 UTC and for the last 2 hours it has been a huge stuggle to get hold of the final release. Even for me to get the screen shot below of the very well designed launch page took forever. Enjoy the screen shot and try the various links provided below to get you copy. Above all enjoy Firefox 3.0!

Many users have told us that Gaia is great but it feels a little bit too steep on the price. Well, today we have reduced the price with almost 90%. Gaia now costs $49! Meaning you can get a proprietary license of Gaia for the cost of a couple of BigMacs at McDonalds. Or less than a pair of Jeans would cost you.
