The 1972 Final was almost a home tie for Ajax Amsterdam. The reigning European Champions faced Italian Champions Internazionale at the De Kuip Stadion- in Rotterdam.
2 second half goals by the maestro- Johan Cruyff settled the contest.

I need an ajax code of sorting table. I will use this for my jsf component.
I have a custom data table component then I want that when you click each column header it will automatically sort. I have already a javascript code in sorting and it is already working will. And now I want to add an ajax code on it. The problem is I don t have yet any knowledge in ajax.

Imagine creating the next Flickr - but start-up resources are limited...
I want to use open source for the foundations of a new web 2.0 service. Assume bottom of the stack is LAMP (or at least- L+A; not wedded to the +M+P) run on a hosted server.

But the range of o-s dev environments and tools available is bewildering! How do I navigate to choose the best platform for my needs? What are other considerations?

Here are some crude specs that the underlying o-s CMS and/or dev environment should provide or support:
* Allow a community of everyday users to contribute their content (pics- a-la Flickr)
* Custom dev of tools (implemented with AJAX?- by hired talent) that allow users to manipulate/markup content
* Other community features like discussion forums
* Scalable to 000s users- ++ more contributed items; ie.- robust- proven
* E-comm./shopping cart integratn
* Integration with other sites (eg- Flickr!)
* Easy for a tech-savvy- but non-developer owner to do basic content admin

TIA!
Thanks for the answers so far.

Let me clarify that I would expect a non-developer to be able to do basic site admin.
For more complex functionality (provided through AJAX-y widgets)- absolutely this would require development effort using some framework/toolkit that is compatible with the underlying CMS or web application platform (which could be a Drupal or whatever -- this is what I am asking for opinions on!!)

I simply don t believe that "there is no such free CMS which meets my requirements." In fact I believe there are dozens- if not more- with application frameworks making the decision even harder.
I am asking for input on how to choose from the vast collection of what is available today- not advertisements for developer services -- I ll chase these after I have selected the platform- thanks.

I would like to learn the core of AJAX with PHP and
MySQL intergration.

Can you recommend any publications or online sources for html- xml- ajax and css??

Also do I need to learn Javascript as well? is it required for designing websites?

hi our server prevents the client from caching our pages. i m not an expert with this but i ve seen codes like these:

header( Last-Modified: . gmdate("D- d M Y H:i:s") . GMT );
header("Cache-control: private");

now- i m doing some ajax request. but i want the browser to cache the returned value of the ajax request. is it possible?

put in other words. i want to cache some pages while others are not. and also- are ajax request cachable? thanks.
thanks for the input. but i found the answer- returned response through ajax can be cached.

now i posted another question because i was having a problem determining the local time of the client s machine.
