[Phpmyadmin-devel] Passing POST variables

Hi,

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.

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.
