[Typo3-dev] ajax for popup menus

[Sebastian Kurfuerst]

Hi,
the code needed for an "ajax library" is very minimal. Currently, it
just consists of two functions, one which wraps the XML data in PHP with
the current headers, and another one which generates the JavaScript
function to make the request.
I don't see any use in taking a "big" or "full-blown" ajax framework,
because they usually take care of displaying the data as well (opening
popups, sorting tables, ....). The ajax framework for TYPO3 currently
only takes care of the connection between client and server. If some
more display functions are needed lateron we can implement them there as
well, but for the clickmenu this didn't make any sense.
I first started with sajax as a basis, but I then found out that ajax is
very easy to handle and that's why I wanted a fully integrated ajax
library and not some external stuff which is difficult to integrate.

Greets, Sebastian
