Newcomers to Ajax may be looking for an easy way to get up and running with some basic Ajax behaviours in a minimal amount of time. A good option for rapid prototyping of some basic Ajax form behaviours is to use AJFORM. AJFORM is an extremely lightweight and simple cross browser toolkit. It returns the result to a specified JavaScript function or variable. The most interesting thing about AJFORM is it degrades gracefully if the browser won`t support it. In this case, the form is submitted normally with a full page refresh.
AJFORM is a good tool for beginners to provide some basic ajax form capabilities, but is mainly for really simple apps.

I'm really surprised that people thing we made such a huge difference...when in all reality, we didn't do that many changes...is it because we didn't show the main page this time? It really seems like that's what it is. I also want to thank Linda for doing such a great job. Sometimes, I felt people were kinda harsh..most groups had 3-4 people and were doing the same amount of work as just the two of us. It was hard to come into class to see the amount of progress the groups were making from week to week and knowing that we didn't have that kinda of progress each time. I'm not complaining about not having another person..I really liked working with just one other person, but sometimes it was really overwhelming trying to get so much done! In the end, though, I'm really proud of what we accomplished. Thanks so much for all your feedback, good and bad....anal and general!

This is the response I sent him, which I'm now posting on here, because I'm so frustrated with this thing!!!
I've been playing with the website, putting a new version here: http://people.emich.edu/rschwartz/696/miniprojects/iteration3/browserTests/browserTest2/weather3.html I've changed the var weather = request.responseXML; request to var weather = request.responseXML.firstChild.nextSibling; on my two updatePage functions (one calls current weather, the other calls future). Both functions are getting to the point where I was having trouble before with the Firefox...I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, because before I wasn't using a debugger....at least now I'm seeing WHERE the problem is, although, I'm still not sure WHAT it is. With Firefox, I was able to fix it with using the getElementsByTagNS('site','nodename')...unfortunately, IE doesn't support level 2 DOM at this point, which is why I'm having trouble in the first place. When I made the changes you suggested, I commented out the getElementsByTagNS('site', 'nodename') and typed in getElementsByTag('nodename') in it's place. But it's still stuck! On the current weather request IE bugs here; document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = "" + station[0].getAttribute('name') + "
" + station[0].getAttribute('city') + ", " + station[0].getAttribute('state') + " "+ station[0].getAttribute('zipcode') + "
" + "Temperature: " + temp[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +" " + temp[0].getAttribute('units') + "
" + "Rain Today: " + rain[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +"
" + "Wind Speed: " + windSpeed[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +" " + windSpeed[0].getAttribute('units') + "
" + "Wind Direction: " + windDir[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue +"


"; The debugger highlights this entire call. On the future weather request IE bugs here: var myResult1= "Forecast for " + city[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + ", " + state[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + " " + zip[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "
" + date[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue + "

"; Also, with the changes to the node calls and the response.responseXML, I'm getting the same error I was getting before with Firefox BEFORE I put in the getElementsByTagNS call. I'm utterly lost. I have no clue what to do. My teacher suggested using some sort of try/catch, which I did. I created four updatepages...two for firefox and two for IE...the problem is, IE jumps into the firefox one if I put that first and fails (because of the not supporting level 2 DOM thing...). If firefox jumps into it, it works fine....if I put the IE version first, IE is fine, but firefox errors because I need to use the level 2 DOM to parse out the data.
Anything that's bold, you'll have to ignore, because I see that the blog is taking the bold requests that I've put in quotes for my javascript requests. Anyhow, I am asking for help at this point, because I'm so frustrated! I won't be in class next week. I'm trying to get it finished this week so I can present it on Wednesday!
