Assignment 4
Using Ajax
Due Friday June 7 before 11:30pm
Overview
For this project, you will add Ajax functionality of your choice to your application and explain it in a summary document.
Major Requirements
Using an application that you created, add at least one Ajax element to it. Possibilities include:
- The destroy action removes the record from the page without reloading the page.
- The create action causes a pop up box to appear instead of redirecting to the Show page.
- Clicking a link causes additional information to appear on a page.
The choice is up to you, but the Ajax request should involve some database access.
Summary Report
Write a briefy report that summarizes your added Ajax functionality (1 paragraph) and provides a list of steps that occur around the Ajax functionality. The steps should start when the initial page is loaded with Ajax-activated controls and end when a change is made on the page (without the page reloading).
Submission
The summary document should use a common presentation format, ideally PDF. Place your report into the application folder (you can call your application any appropriate name). Create a zip file from the folder and submit the zip file using the D2L online submission site.
Grading
This project is worth 20 points and will be reviewed using the following criteria:
- Clarity. The summary document should concisely and efficiently present the project accomplishments.
- Accomplishment. The application should successfully implement an Ajax request that includes database access.
