Hey,

Could you tell me what I need to do to make the FE extension use Ajax to do tasks like form validation etc.? Thanks!

Blessings,
Rocky

Rocky,

That would require a significant amount of PHP development because the software needs to behave quite differently. It is not something you can just turn on. The extension needs to support it. The extension needs to use Javascript to communicate back to unseen PHP on the server.

In Him,
Mark

Hey Rocky,
If you are going the custom PHP route that Mark mentions, then I would suggest checking out the idea of eID scripts. The eID script is what provides the PHP back on the server and is described in one of Kasper's early podcasts at http://typo3.org/podcasts/kasper/?tx_podkast_pi1%5Bpointer%5D=3&cHash=42a1755d2d. It's the podcast titled "4.0 TechInsight: Frontend AJAX casestory" and should give you some good example code to start with.

Thanks,
Jeff
