Jens Schumacher has come up with a nice example of an Ajaxian Dynamic Tasklist. It is implemented in a macro for the popular Confluence Wiki from Atlassian. I like the green check, red cross icons, and the bar showing the % of the tasks done. Very Tada.

Garrison Locke has put up an Ajax Spell Checker. This is another good use of client/server. You wouldn’t want to download an entire data dictionary down to the client, and now you don’t have too :)

Jonathan Snook has re-thunk the old chesnut: Weblog comments. He has implemented a Live Preview option which uses the Yellow Fade Technique, and has a nice clean UI. A nice simple example, that also failsback gracefully.

Scott Miles took the latest Dojo Toolkit, and built a new Grid Widget: It’s not much of a dataset, but the grid has sorting and in-place editing. The data is retrieved asynchronously from a PHP/MySql backend. I have an internal version which transparently writes edits back to the DB (which is kind of snazzy). Good Read the rest…
