[Typo3-dev] AJAX - for fe/be

[Jeff Segars]

I'm all for adding a little AJAX to the backend :)

I've done a littly proof of concept extension that adds basic AJAX for 
the pagetree.  Right now it reloads the entire pagetree but could easily 
be extended to only load elements that have changed.

The areas that I think could really benefit are the TemplaVoila Template 
Selector and the Frontend Plugin selection list.  It kills me to reload 
the entire page when we're only changing a subset of the data.

When I started looking at AJAX for the backend, the biggest initial 
barrier was a lack of IDs on most backend elements, which makes it 
difficult to select and replace DOM nodes.  Not a hard thing to fix, but 
you've got to touch the core in a lot of places I would think...
