- Double-Z, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5It's a link to the demo and download pages. What's the problem?
No need to be nasty.
This isn't that great considering it's from such a massive company. The free equivalents of this have been available for some time. 3 demos is not much. - whisperstorm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Only problem with it is that it creates its own custom attributes -- not sure why it doesnt just use id's and classes? They should at least namespace their custom attributes/tags.
- maxemim, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5one more thing... you think a company with the resources like ADOBE could come up with more than 3 demos... this is nothin we havent seen from open rico, script.aculo.us or the rest of em.... where is the creativity the thinking outside the box... this is an industry giant and they show us a sortable table, a photo gallery, and a rss reader... BIG DEAL....
- maxemim, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Why would you use there frame work when you can use prototype and script.aclo.us ?
support the little guys.. you wont see developers contributing to this framework at anywhere near the levels like the open source tools... and i think love it or hate it, ajax ain't going no where.. the way people interact with your data is and always was going to move towards desktop style apps... the whole ajax craze.. will pass and it will become as standard as the technologies that it is made up of... HTML,Javascript, XML.... then they will come up with a new buzz word (it lets them justify there over inflated salaries)... the buzz word that really ***** me is WEB2.0 at least ajax is an acronym of the tech involved.. what the hell is WEB 2.0.. - nitsuj, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@somerandomnerd
"So fashionable buzzwords excuse the lack of graceful degradation now?"
If you're using Javascript/AJAX/DHTML whatever, just to put a few bells and whistles on static web pages then of course you should degrade gracefully. However there's a growing breed of web applications that are using the browser as a development/programming platform for real networked applications - not sites - _applications_. That's where you'll find the strongest use of these libraries.
Whining because you've disabled your client's only hope of smart processing meaning some stuff doesn't work is old hat. - nitsuj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Ha ha you fool. That's almost funny.
There's a growing trend to put more smarts into the client. Lot's of new web developments are actually web _applications_ rather than static online newspaper sites. Or maybe you just like the web as a giant hyper click newspaper?
Your comment is so 2003. - DD32, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Yeah.. But nearly ALL good names are taken....
- mbiesz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5It's called AJAX -- there is a "JavaScript" in the acronym, if you didn't notice.
- npacheco, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This Xylitol gum I'm chewing is called Spry. It's a registered trademark of Xlear, inc. Time to rethink names?
- jcnnghm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Trademarks generally only apply to a single area of trade. A food company and a tech product are sufficiently different that the naming would be allowed.
- tinus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This will be integrated with Dreamweaver no doubt.
- gann, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Am I the only one who misread the headline as: "Spy framework for AJAX by Adobe Labs" ?
I thought Adobe was stupid enough to provide a AJAX framework, which is by nature open source, that contains spyware... - DD32, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Browser support?
Doesnt seem to work in Opera9...
Surly with Opera becoming a browser you see one more portable platforms you'd want to support it in your prodict, esp. ajax style programs, as its really good for low-bandwidth applications..
D - munkt0n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2all those custom attributes will lead to major headaches. I'll stick with prototype/scriptaculous thanks.
- jibblies, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Its ok, the fad will die soon.
Or.. its just going to be integrated into every major web scripting/programming language and we'll never escape!
AHHHHH!
/disables javascript - X-Cruciating, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Ha! All the pages fail markup validation at http://validator.w3.org. I wonder how can Adobe come out with demo code that uses custom attributes for divs', causing markup errors and non-namespaced javascripting? I am all for http://script.aculo.us/ and other similar JS frameworks that at least make sure that if I retro-fit them to an existing application, they would not wreck havoc with existing local variables? Web 2.0 or not, but Adobe needs to learn the basics first.
- SledgY, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's so special about those demos? A little animation and dynamically changing images/data, big deal!
- nofxjunkee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The demo is cool, I dugg this, but what's with the proprietry attributes?
- bonoes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3The demo gallery is pretty sweet.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/ - maseone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1well, let's see:
no competition (in the large corp market) = no creativity = adobe is dead (for now?)
and after looking at the actual source, this framework is top-heavy and non-standards (can that be used to describe source?).
prototype/script.aculo.us is more efficient/compatable hands down. - macewan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Adobe seems to be going the way of Skype with their outdated support for Linux since Flash 9 will not be coming out this summer with win & mac versions.
- SDE06, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1cute... now if you are serious about AJAX and valid/standard compliant xhtml take a look at ATLAS !!!!
http://atlas.asp.net/default.aspx?tabid=47&subtabid=471 - j0k3r, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5Just another AJAX framework :)
- markdav, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess it's not easy for the large software houses to adapt as quickly as Open Source guys. Atlas is looking pretty unimpressive as well.
- chadu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You're right, however... this framework is most likely going to be incorporated somehow into the next gen Dreamweaver app for web design/development, so it is likely to see far wider adoption than the frameworks mentioned by you.
Good to see the tools are getting out there for everyone to use, not just the OSS community who are in the know... this is a good option to use instead of Flash for many people. - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0I have Dreamweaver CS3 that incorporates this and I love it. There are some annoying bugs with it, but overall it's a nice set of code.
- coding, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4@jok3r The JAAJAX name has already been taken.
- FlorentG, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Drop it.
Custom attributes without own namespace. Doesn't work without Javascript :
"This page requires JavaScript. Please enable JavaScript in your browser and reload this page."
This is so 1995.
It's been years and years that we, web developpers, try to tell everyone about accessibility, standard coding... And what ? They come up with that, ignoring all the work that's been done... No digg - kwoff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1"Register and Download". Uh, no thanks.
- tybris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1so....has anyone looked at the source code of the photo gallery?....noticed that they use custom (invalid) XHTML attributes to activate the scripts?....nothing to see here
- mdowney, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Geez, enough with the "no Linux version of the latest Player" comments already. First of all, Flash Player 7 for Linux is available. Second of all, there will be a Linux version of Flash Player 9 (formerly called Flash Player 8.5) released later this year. Adobe finishes Windows and Mac versions first because the address - by far - the largest audience. Then the Linux version gets finished a few months later.

- moeq, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I use AJAX to scrub my bathroom sink.
- onixxino, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I haven't delved into the source code but the gallery seems to use (partially) Lightbox 2.0.
- FunkyWitDaSysTm, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1nifty
- Jovan, on 10/12/2007, -15/+2Hold on, hold on...
Is this an actual story or just Adobe's product site? If anything it seems more like an advertisement.
