Digital Web had a short but worthy interview of Jeremy Keith — author of DOM Scripting

He’s got a new book out about writing Bulletproof AJAX…if it’s as good as Bulletproof Web Design by Dan Cederholm, then it’ll make my life easier.

Along with rise in popularity of AJAX on the web, there have been a few cool applications I have seen and many lists with more “cool AJAX” sites.

• netvibes.com - a web-based RSS reader
• writely.com - a web-based document editor

More “cool AJAX” lists:

• Aventure Forth: Top 10
• Aventure Forth: Top 10 - part 2

Took me a google search to find this one, but for some reason one of my forms was not submitting using javascript.

The reason was the statement “formObj.submit();” in the javascript was colliding (resulting in ambiguity within the browser) with the form button, which was also named “submit”.

ie:

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login">

Change the name of the button to “login” or something else more reflective of it’s functionality instead of “submit”.
javascript:

function submitForm(formId) {
  var formObj = document.getElementById(formId);
  formObj.submit();
}

html:

<a href="http://www.homepage.com"
onclick="submitForm('loginForm'); return false">Login</a>

<form id="loginForm">
<input type="submit" name="login" value="Login">
</form>
