Creating an Ajax Application with Script.aculo.us

Hi all,

There's a brand new tutorial on the Web Learning Trail for you to try. The tutorial, Creating an Ajax Application with Script.aculo.us, was added for NetBeans 6.5 Beta, but works in NetBeans 6.1 as well.

The tutorial was based on a blog entry by Arun Gupta. Here is some information about the tutorial:

This tutorial demonstrates the usage of the Java Persistence APIs to implement server side pagination (recommended for large sets of data) and to get and display the results in a text field featuring Ajax functionality. Ajax is a technology that combines (X)HTML, JavaScript, and CSS with the power of XmlHttpRequest in the creation of RIAs (Rich Internet Applications). Script.aculo.us is a set of JavaScript libraries to enhance the user interface of web sites. It provides an visual effects engine, a drag and drop library (including sortable lists), a couple of controls (Ajax-based autocompletion, in-place editing, sliders) and more.

This is really worth looking into!
