Super Simple Ajax (Without a Framework)
Published Friday 12th of June 2009
If you're looking for the bare minimum when it comes to doing cross-browser GET or POST XHR then this might be the script for you.
I know there's hundreds (probably thousands) of these scripts out there already but even the most lightweight ones I could find seemed kind of bloated.
Example
// GET latest-comments.php and update the #latest-comments element
superSimpleAjax({url: 'latest-comments.php'}, 'latest-comments');
// GET article with ID 12 and alert its contents
superSimpleAjax({
url: 'get-article.php',
data: 'id=12',
callback: function (data) {
alert(data);
}
});
// POST a comment to post-comment.php
superSimpleAjax({
method: 'POST',
url: 'post-comment.php',
data: 'author=John Doe&email=johndoe@johndoe.com&content=Hi, my name is John Doe',
callback: function (data) {
alert('Thanks for your comment!');
}
});Grab the code from Google Code. It's about 1k uncompressed.
Enjoy!
