Re: Home page options for Apache on IBMi

Surprised I didn't consider that from the last thread. I may test that
approach as well although I've not done any Ajax calls yet. Would be a good
intro for me. Thanks for that. Assuming that the initial load of the page
could trigger the ajax call without a user having to interact.

In this environment would you suggest an Apache include
call to a cgi application or make the entire home page dynamic getting

rid

of the static index.html.

In the prior thread we discussed downloading a static page initially, then
subsequently making AJAX requests to fill in dynamic elements. That's
essentially the pattern for single-page applications.

The "social hope" sites that we referenced previously used the JQuery
"load" function to inject the response from a URL into the innerHTML of a
known static element (id='content').

$("#content").load(url);

A requirement to update multiple elements on the page would be more
entailed, but the premise of beginning with a static HTML page, and making
subsequent AJAX requests to fill in details dynamically, still stands.
