Javascript API

The Javascript API contains a programming interface to simplify the interaction between the server and the browser. You reference the API with the cj object in javascript.

A simple example is a text box that saves it's data as it is typed. Create a new add-on, and add a text box. Add javascript to onChange or onKeyUp of the text box to call the cj.ajax.data() method to save the content of the text box into a field in a record of a table.

Drop this add-on on any page, and when it is rendered, the data will automatically save.

Alternately, you can write a remote method add-on that accepts data from the querystring and saves it how you wish. Your client-side code could then call the cj.ajax.addon() method which executes your server-side code and performs the function.
