Ajaxify: Instantly Ajax Static Websites
22
Dec
Ajaxify is a jQuery plugin that converts all links in a web page into Ajax load-submit requests.
So, with a single line, you can turn a static website into an Ajaxed one.
It has support for:
- History & bookmarking
- Partial load from the output
- Four events
- Forms
- Animations
In the demos page of Ajaxify, there are lots of examples presented to get you going with it.
Requirements: jQuery
Compatibility: All Major Browsers

OMG! Ajaxify is awesome!
Thank you guys!
Something similar to the last ajax-script posted here.
This script has alot more options and is more customizable: http://www.bydust.com/examples/com.bydust.ajax/
Ajaxify is way cooler, built as a Jquery plugin, great job.
It has alot less options.
the com.bydust.ajax class has:
- error handling
- (much) more animations
- better eventlisteners
– user can edit the retrieved content
– user can see status messages
– when a second eventlistener is added on the same event the first one isn’t removed.
- easier implementation, especially for larges sites.
- custom errors & states
- rules for forms and url’s
- etc…
I am not sure if this is a good idea – http://www.openjs.com/scripts/examples/ajax_page_transaction/
Binny:
These are the problems that are mentioned on that page:
* Slower than the traditional way ( com.bydust.ajax class is faster than normal browsing )
* No feedback – loading bars unavailable. ( com.bydust.ajax gives feedback, loading, parsing and preloading states )
* Breaks the Back button. (cba does not break the previous and next browser buttons )
* Users have no clue on which page they actually are – so they won’t be able to bookmark the page. (cba allows user to bookmark the correct page )
* Users will think that nothing is happening – when they click on the link and nothing happens. ( cba shows states. When the users’ browser does not meet the requirements the site is being handled by the browser )
* And More…
this probably applies to this script too, not only cba
Maurice , I have been using ajaxify for a while and its really awesome. You have mentioned some notes that cba is better and I have some comments on it.
*error handling – There is onError event function !
*(much) more animations – Ajaxify uses jquery animate function. which can animate almost any CSS property. (Much more than cba)
*easier implementation, especially for larges sites. – Ajaxify can run with only one line $(jquery_selector).ajaxify();
*custom errors & states (Again as 1st one)
I’m not sure from other points. but there is also options that cba doesn’t have too.
* tagToLoad
*Manipulation
*Overriding Default settings
*Can bind any event to the object.
*Title
*Not limited to
*Easy to define the objects through jQuery selectors.
*Compatible with other jQuery plugins.
*And ajaxify is just 10 kb where cba is around 40kb
Looking for a working example of ajaxify, to download, bydust has one. Would be great!
+how does one go about refreshing additional containers using ajaxify…bydust allows that…novice here…im sure ajaxify is good, but its difficult to customize, bydust has made it a lil simpler… a working example download would be GREAT! — not just seing the demo.php
