REQ: universal Ajax function/script to activate/deactivate

**nexia** · 06-22-2009, 08:13 PM

Ok, i'd like to have the collaboration of a Ajax wizard here, to create a function i can apply to any feature i'd like to code on my side...(i usually release them)

my problem is that i do not understand javascript's logic and code, so i have no power over ajax. i'd like to have a function that when we click on a icon (activate.gif/png), it call a function in ajax.php that will activate what it is supposed to do, and then the return xml will be a change of icon to indicate the final status (activated.gif or error.gif)...

it could be cool to have that icon

while in progress... but not needed... i know how to activate this one though...

the function called in ajax.php could be a feature on the forum, or a setting for the member, i have a list of like 15 things i'd like to transform in ajax, and they all are that way...

also, it need to be multi-times clickable.... people are sometimes frantic to click and reclick to see if things are working for real... so if we double-click ones, it send a first call to the function, and if we click a second time, it's doing the same call... the function will simply activate/deactivate on its own, not need to add more elements to the js...

so it can be a link like: ondblclick="ajax_call_activate(this, feature_x) return=false;" ... instead of having a activate_feature_x with deactivate_feature_x ... but hey, i know what this will be...

if you think you can help, pm me, i'd be very grateful... it can be a paid job... i know it's not complicated, but as i can not perform it properly, i ask a pro!

I dont really understand what you mean but here is a good read on how javascript can call functions and use multiple functions. I may be able to help you better if I understood

JavaScript Function

thanks, but as you said, you do not understand what i mean, or you would have a solution already...

actually i know exactly how to deal with the code... i am just not a AJAX wizard and i want my code to be perfect... i want someone who is fluent in AJAX/vB to work it with me...

thanks for the link btw, but i'm actually way above this right now...

description of the needed switch:

the whole thing:

HTML Code:

<div id="myswitch_container" class="alt1"><a id="myswitch_element" class="smallfont" href="*" ondblclick="return switch_ajax(this, myswitch_function, newclass_container, newclass_element, newclass_img);" title="this is my link"><img id="myswitch_img" class="inlineimg" src="*" alt="this is the img" /></a></div>

... or something like this

1- the icon have to change on switch, not on click (wait the ajax answer)
2- the text of the icon title="" have to change on switch too
3- the switch have to be related to the object of the switch (yes/no)
4- the switch have to permit multiple clicks and activate/deactivate properly each time
5- the switch have to send back new classes for each ID when needed (check the actual class, keep it, and switch when needed)
6- as a gadget, the "process.gif" icon can be used over the img change to display the process... if the answer is "failed", the icon have to have a (/) on it...
