Hi Guys,
As a newbie i have a couple of questions i would like to
ask the group. Hopefully a good Samaritan will help me clear my confusion.
Question1:
Say i have the following form..
<html>
<body>
<span id=form>
<form action="welcome.py/hello" method="post">
<span id="text">
Please enter your name:
<input type="text"/ name="name">
<input type=button>
</span>
</form>
</span>
</body>
</html>
now say i have the following Mod_Python handler..
from mod_python import apache
import Storage
def hello (ref, name):
mydata = Storage()
try:
success = mydata.checkName(name)
except:
success = -9
if success == 1:
//edit span text to... "Welcome to my house" "name"
else:
edit span (id=text) to .."Sorry you are not welcome..."
return apache.OK Ok, so what i am trying to understand is how to
use mod_python to update an existing page without recreating the page.
(note: without using PSP). This probably will lead into my second
question but is it possible to use mod_python with Ajax. Specifically
how would i link mod_python and JavaScript together. I am assuming that
a javascript function would callback a mod_python module. Once the
request has returned some data, JavaScript would update the page
accordingly. To be honest i am not sure if this makes any sense but i
thought i would ask anyway.
Also if anyone knows of any resource thats talks about using
mod_python to create dynamic web pages, kindly let me know....
Thanx
