Ajax?
 

Many people here at TalkPHP work with this?
I personally haven't done much with it. But plan to eventually.

Start at no other place then at prototype

There is nice documentation here:

The prototype library makes it very easy to create AJAX applications. Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

I would reccomend MooTools for this, It's really useful and you can even use automagic awesome sexy effects to animate the result :o.

What do you guys recommend for a beginner like me? I find prototype quite powerful?

I would personally recommend Prototype for working with AJAX, and if you need additional effects, you can always use script.aculo.us with works seamlessly with Prototype.

I would't reccomend that, lol Karl!

I personally would reccomend MooTools which is everythign you can ever have in one... really sexy effects as well!

Localhost, we know you would recommend MooTools from your previous comment stating that you recommend MooTools, please keep double posting to a minimum, thankyou.

Each to their own local. I can't stand MooTools, I've tried it a few times, and I always go back to Prototype and script.aculo.us.

With that said, I'm quite familiar with Prototype as I have been using it for some time now, so it is hard to switch.

I like the object oriented pattern of Prototype which is similar to Ruby. :D
