The basic framework of an Ajax-enabled web page. The following JavaScript shows how to send a request for an XML file and how to receive that request. Of course, in a real life scenario, you'll have to implement better error trapping and actually do something with the XML that gets returned.

This is a swear filter script I wrote for my xanga blog. I don't know if it has any application anywhere else. This will replace the swear words listed in the array with the character defined in blank_char. This isn't perfect but it works pretty well.

Basically, you can dynamically ask the webpage to look at a current object's attributes/values or even change the object's attributes/values.

One way to group elements in HTML is to assign them a name attribute. Multiple elements can share a name, then you can easily access them as an array using the getElementsByName() method.

The problem is that some DOM parsers aren't keen on, or are ignorant to, this use of the name attribute, so a simple object.name returns undefined. In my case, it was a DIV in Firefox 1.5 that was behaving this way.

There is a simple work around for this that works in Firefox, I haven't tested it in others. It is to use the getAttribute method that is an extension of any element object.

This ability can be useful if you have a function that performs a transformation on the active element, and another transformation on closely related elements.

This snippet also you to limit the input in a form field to a specified number of characters. It displays a counter so users can see how many characters they have left, and once they reach the limit the field just trims the length to your limit.

The following is a snippet from what I used when I implemented a tagboard to my site. Further revisions could/should read the LIMIT from the maxlength attribute
