Some Ajax questions???

I am working on a design idea for a new module (It will not be built by myself but by a hired developer), and have a question regarding the use of Ajax.

On my last module which was a competition I had ajaxed entry forms because it looked and functioned better, was easier to use and had none of the page refresh problems that appaer to come as standard with dolphin. I was still tied to using an editing page though, for users to edit their entries.

What I would like to do on the new module is do away with the editing page and just use an ajaxed entry form. I can set this out so the member can input all the fields and then click submit and everything gets prosessed as it should. But instead of having an edit page come up when the member clicks on "Edit" somewhere when he wants to edit his entry is it possible to open the ajaxed form and load the information back into it for editing?

Basically i would like to simplify my process by doing away with the edit pages and use the ajax entry form to edit it instead.....

Maybe a stupid question... appologies if it is.

I am guessing your using a jquery post to submit your forms.

Well, there is a get as well. You can do pretty much anything you want.

However, even tho i understand peoples obsession with ajax, keep this in mind. The more ajax you use, the harder it will be to debug problems when they occur.

Take this post for example. http://www.boonex.com/forums/topic/Fields-Builder-gone-AWOL.htm

The builder loads everything up using ajax calls. But something is going wrong. A error is occurring, so it just sits there and does nothing.

I try to urge people limit the use of ajax.

Thanks for the advice dean. I am just tyrying to keep everything a clean as possible. I will howeaver design for both scenarios before development. I will also go indepth with the developer to come to a solution. But great, thanks, atleast i know its possible but does contain risks... i will read up on the link too...

Your advice is alwats appreciated : )
