[Phpwm] AJAX Questions

[pete graham]

There is one project that I am working on at the moment that I would
like to integrate two bits of AJAX functionality, to start with ;-)

The project is a freelancers database. When adding a freelancer you
have to tick checkboxes for a freelancers expertise. I would like a
facility where you can add a new expertise on the 'add freelancer
page'. This would be similar to the way you can add categories on the
wordpress 'compose post page'.

There will also be an option for people to leave comments about a
freelancer. Comments can optionally be associated with a project,
there are currently 133 projects. I thought some form of Google
Suggest/Auto-complete feature would be best, where someone starts
typing the name of the project then a drop-down of options is shown.
The complication I foresee here is I would prefer to store the
projects id in the database rather than the project name.

Ideally I would like to settle on a standard way of integrating AJAX
into my applications, possibly some form of library if needed. A lot
of this programming work will be carried out by an intern rather than
myself, so any links to tutorials/example would be really helpful.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
