about Ext-yui XHR utility

[mysticav]

I would like to know if ext-yui provides an XHR utility similar to:
http://ajaxtoolbox.com/

basically it works like this:

Ajax.makeRemoteCall(mydataObj, remoteurl, callback);

function callback(response){
.... do whatever yo want with response
}

Sure, look in the docs for the UpdateManager class.

Well it doesn't look clear form me:


// Get it from a Ext.Element object
var el = Ext.get("foo");
var mgr = el.getUpdateManager();
mgr.update("http://myserver.com/index.php", "param1=1&param2=2");
...
mgr.formUpdate("myFormId", "http://myserver.com/index.php");

How can I just make the call and get the response without involving elements at all?

Or even better, how can you adapt this approach using yui-ext:


Ajax.makeRemoteCall(mydataObj, remoteurl, callback);

function callback(response){
.... do whatever yo want with response
}

[JeffHowden]

If you're not looking to update an element, then you'll probably want to look into Ext.lib.Ajax.request() or Ext.lib.Ajax.formRequest() if you're working with form data.

Thanks, but can you point me where can I read info. about this object ?

[JeffHowden]

There are no docs at this point. So, you'll need to look directly in /src/experimental/yui-bridge.js

You can also use Ext.data.Connection. See my AjaxForm class for an example (update and submit functions).

[mysticav]

Yes. it works as expected. Just have a question:
In the following code, I would like to know about the 'method' parameter.



var conn = new Ext.data.Connection({

method: finalMethod,
url: finalUrl
});

Also I need to know if its possible to make cross ajax calls (normally is not allowed).

Thanks.

Connection determines whether to do GET or POST based on whether you pass parms to the request. In addition, you can pass method:'GET' or method:'POST' to override that behavior. Read the source to see the implications of GET vs POST.
