===AJAX Support=== Some components support AJAX-like incremental updates. The Javascript Component class can make requests aimed at a Component by specifying the <code>component=cXX</code> CGI parameter and it is then up to the component what it renders. The default behaviour is to render the XHTML fragment represented by the component, which is used by Javascript as an in-place replament. Elsewhere a JSON response is used to drive client-side behaviour. Similarly to [[API:EPrints/Plugin/Screen|EPrints::Plugin::Screen]], AJAX components have a life-cycle of: * 1. update_from_form() reads form values and sets them on the object * 2. wishes_to_export() determines if this component is exporting * 3. export() generates a response See also [[API:EPrints/Plugin/InputForm/Component/Documents|EPrints::Plugin::InputForm::Component::Documents]], which uses a JSON response to determine the documents to update. <!-- Edit below this comment --> <!-- Pod2Wiki= --> <!-- Pod2Wiki=head_methods -->
