Ajax Case Study: Real Estate Listings – Part 3
Welcome to the final part of this three part series of articles that works through an Ajax application case study. In this case study, we’ve been building a simple application to display real estate listing using an Ajax approach. This style of application allows data to be refreshed in a Web page without reloading the entire page. In this article, you’ll see how we can completely change the page content without a reload.
In the second part of the article we:
- Loaded the XML and XSLT documents containing the list of properties for sale
- Created handler functions to process the loaded documents
- Applied the XSLT transformation in two different ways and displayed the transformed content
- Added a JavaScript function call to the stylesheet
In this article, we’ll finish off the application by:
- Understanding the new XML and XSLT files
- Displaying individual property details
- Adding a back link
- Adding dynamic sorting to the list
You need to have completed parts 1 and 2 of the series so that part 3 will make sense. As before, I’ve assumed you’ve got an understanding of XML and some of the basics of the Ajax approach.
