Page History

This page is intended for WW developer not for WW users. If your a user of WW hopefully you dont need to know these details, but certainly more knowledge is better, so if your hungry eat up!framework developers rather than application developers.

The The WW ajax/dhtml components use the DOJO Toolkit for both javascript event handling and AJAX calls.

OK Great so your smart on DOJO Widgets and DOJO Events lets see how WW uses we use these.

Lets start with looking at what a user of WW would include in their page, a JSP in this case:

        href="/AjaxRemoteLink.action"
        showErrorTransportText="true"
        errorText="An Error ocurred">Update</ww:a>

Generated Code

Now lets look at what this snippet of code would generate for us in html:
