Hi,
Yes, I think this is quite obvious beginning of AJAX project.
I initially thought that this would be about half the work of the project, the other half being the jQuery scripting, testing on different browsers to ensure compatibility and obviously, debugging.
I'm not sure how much has to be implemented on client side, I thought most functionality should already be in jQuery.
jQuery has functions to make the AJAX requests. It also has functions to manipulate the DOM. But, they are generic functions, and I hope to customize them enough that further developers do not have to get into the nitty-gritty details of the HTML structure (i.e. write wrapper functions like replaceTable or replaceSQLQuery).
For example, right now, I'm trying to paginate the results of a table, as you have seen in another mail thread. Right now, I'm trying to wrap the HTML generated with some XML, as the output of a query is not just the table containing the results, but also the profiling results and the SQL query. If I can do this properly (add id's to the proper divs in functions like PMA_profilingResults() ), then this task would be a lot easier as I could select the correct div with jQuery and then replace the HTML content.
