This tutorial shows how to filter CListView items by AJAX, and it's compatible with disabled JavaScript users
In my case this has been done to filter users list
I had to partially render two types of views, depending on user selection. Wanted to display a GRID or a LIST style with an event that AJAX'ed new contents and update a layer with them.
I'm developing a website that has an option to look up a car's registration number via SOAP and return additional details such as make, model, colour etc.
Sometimes the active form we wish to use to edit/add a new element on our database is too small and we believe that is much better to use an AJAX'ed dialog/slide form rather than reloading the page to just display one or two fields.
In doing internet searches trying to learn how to incorporated ajax into web pages generated by the yii framework I noticed that there seems to be a lot of confusion. I worry that too-clever hacks will be broken in upgrades of the framework.
