Ajax Form

AjaxForm is an extension for Adobe Dreamweaver that allows you to convert a common form into a form that sends its data via Ajax without having to load the entire webpage.

There are situations where it is inefficient to reload the entire web page just to deliver a form; for example, forms used to send resumes in response to job offers, or invitations to visit a certain website, and generally, any form that is used for any repetitive action.

Two parameters must be defined at the insertion of an Ajax form: 1) the identifier of the element where the form-submit result is inserted; and 2) the action to implement upon receipt of the result.

The requirements for Ajax Form are as follows:

• Adobe Dreamweaver MX version or later (Dreamweaver MX, MX 2004, DW 8, CS3, CS4, CS5, CS6, CC,...).

To install Ajax Form , simply execute the file TE_AjaxForm.mxp , or use the "Adobe Extension Manager".

Once the extension has been installed, it can be accessed through the insertion bar "Forms > AjaxForm ".

Example:

You want to insert a form to send invitations to participate in an event. Every time you send an invitation using such form, it returns a confirmation message: "Invitation sent". You can insert into your webpage a label <div id="form_response"> </ div> , which will be used to display the confirmation message.

In AjaxForm introduces form_response as identifier of the element where the result of the form is inserted.

The following actions can be implemented with the form result:

prepend: inserts the confirmation message before the rest of the messages already on form_response.

append: inserts the confirmation message after the rest of the messages already on form_response.

replace: replaces the contents of form_response with a message confirming the correct delivery of the form.
