Whenever I hear that Rihanna song, "Umbrella," I immediately start thinking css drop menus.
"L-I , L-I, L-I, L-I,
A A A A"
I just immediately pictures this in my head:
<li><a>
<li><a>
<li><a>
<li><a>
lol
Well anyways, I checked out the backbase framework for ajax. I haven't accomplished a WHOLE lot with it, but I can say that it is a wonderful client-side solution for things like pop-up calendar date selectors, and customize input selectors and things. I was able to use it to asynchronously import a form into a part of a webpage, and then process the information in that form asynchronously. That was nice, and very simple!!
I think for simple, small websites, backbase will be a wonderful solution. I'll admit, after my frustrations experimenting with IceFaces, I don't want to even TRY to play with backbase's implementation of JSF with ajax components... It's not fun!
And besides, let's face it, AJAX isn't all it's cracked up to be. So, only a portion of your page updates instead of the whole thing - is that really worth losing basic browser functionality such as bookmarking and back button??
