dsHistory – Back button management with JavaScript

dsHistory internally works somewhat similar to the other history solutions that exist, but it is implemented more like dojo’s bind than anything else. It requires no supporting libraries, it checks in at just over 7kb when compressed, and it is easy to use. The history is thought of as a series of events that have functions attached to them, and the bookmarkable window hash data is designed to be controlled independently from the events (if it is even utilized at all, which I’ve found isn’t desired at times).

@tomic XML-RPC JavaScript Client

Jon Brisbin has created an XML-RPC JavaScript client called @tomic:

The @tomic XML-RPC client requires ExtJS 1.1, but has no other external requirements. It’s designed to be easy-to-use, flexible, and robust enough for anything you might throw at it. Since this is an initial release, I’m putting it out as a beta (under the GPL).

Ext.onReady( function()
{
    var xmlrpc = new Atomic.util.XMLRPC( {
        url: "xmlrpc.php",
        method: "blogger.getUsersBlogs"
    } );
    // Add parameters to the RPC call
    xmlrpc.addParameter( "0123456789ABCDEF" );
    xmlrpc.addParameter( "MyUsername" );
    xmlrpc.addParameter( "mypassword" );

    // Subscribe to events
    xmlrpc.addListener( "success", function( xhr, xml ) {
        // Handle the response from the XML-RPC service, which is in the 'xml' object
        console.log( xml );
    } );
    xmlrpc.addListener( "fault", function( xhr, fault ) {
        // Handle any faults issued by the XML-RPC server
        Ext.MessageBox.alert( "XML-RPC fault #" + fault.code, fault.message );
    } );

    // make the call
    xmlrpc.call( {
        method: "blogger.getUsersBlogs",
        params: [
             "0123456789ABCDEF",
             "MyUsername",
             "mypassword"
        ]
    } );
}
