Yahoo UI Library

Another javascript framework, that packs lot of power.This one is from Yahoo. It has many cool things to offer, and is similar to Dojo in some ways. We will discuss only the AJAX part here. A typical AJAX call would look like this: 

<script type="text/javascript" src="yahoo/yahoo.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" 
src="connection/connection-min.js"></script>	

var handleSuccess = function(res)
{alert(res.responseText);} 

var handleError = function(err)
{alert('Something went wrong');}

var callback =
{
	success:handleSuccess,
	failure: handleError ,
	argument: { uid:"A", pwd:"B" }
};

function ValidatePwd() {
var request = YAHOO.util.Connect.asyncRequest('GET', 
		'http://ashishware.com/login.cgi', callback);
}

</script>
