I'm trying to use AjaxTags, especially the htmlContent tag. The jsp looks as follow:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://ajaxtags.sourceforge.net/tags/ajaxtags" prefix="ajax"%>
<h1>HtmlContent Tag Demo</h1>
<div style="font-size: 90%; width: 650px;">
<p>The <code>ajax:htmlContent</code> tag fills a content area (e.g., DIV tag) with an HTML
fragment from another resource. You may find this tag useful for including blocks of information in
a sidebar when the user clicks a link or form field. This tag is a more simplified approach to the <code>ajax:portlet</code>
and <code>ajax:tabPanel</code> tags.</p>
<p>Shown below are three different ways of executing the AJAX event: link, radio button, and
select field.</p>
</div>
<h3>HtmlContent in Action</h3>
<div id="modelDescription" style="background-color: EAE9AF; width: 300px; height: 100px;"></div>
<div id="htmlContentForm">
<p>Select by ANCHOR link.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="javascript://nop/" class="contentLink">Ford</a></li>
<li><a href="javascript://nop/" class="contentLink">Honda</a></li>
<li><a href="javascript://nop/" class="contentLink">Mazda</a></li>
</ul>
<form id="htmlContentForm">
<p>Select by RADIO option.</p>
<input type="radio" id="makeford" name="make" value="ford" class="contentRadio" /> <label
style="display: inline; cursor: pointer;" for="makeford">Ford</label><br />
<input type="radio" id="makehonda" name="make" value="honda" class="contentRadio" /> <label
style="display: inline; cursor: pointer;" for="makehonda">Honda</label><br />
<input type="radio" id="makemazda" name="make" value="mazda" class="contentRadio" /> <label
style="display: inline; cursor: pointer;" for="makemazda">Mazda</label><br />
<br />
<p>Select by SELECT option.</p>
<select id="selmake" name="selmake">
<option value="">Select one</option>
<option value="ford">Ford</option>
<option value="honda">Honda</option>
<option value="mazda">Mazda</option>
</select></form>
</div>
<div id="progressMsg" class="indicator" style="padding-top: 5px; display: none;">Loading...</div>
<div id="errorMsg"
style="display: none; border: 1px solid #e00; background-color: #fee; padding: 2px; margin-top: 8px; width: 300px; font: normal 12px Arial; color: #900"></div>
<ajax:htmlContent baseUrl="${contextPath}/htmlcontent.htm" sourceClass="contentLink" target="modelDescription"
parameters="make={ajaxParameter}" />
<ajax:htmlContent baseUrl="${contextPath}/htmlcontent.htm" sourceClass="contentRadio" target="modelDescription"
parameters="make={ajaxParameter}" />
<ajax:htmlContent baseUrl="${contextPath}/htmlcontent.htm" source="selmake" target="modelDescription"
parameters="make={selmake}" eventType="change" />
The htmlcontent.htm is produced by another jsp, which contains only "HalloText" as string, nothing else (no html tags or similar). And this page can be loaded in the browser.
When i load the first jsp, then i get following as output:
<h1>HtmlContent Tag Demo</h1>

And firebug report 3 Errors:
AjaxJspTag is not defined <script type="text/javascript">new Aja...arget: "modelDescription"});</script> hello.htm (Zeile 46)
AjaxJspTag is not defined <script type="text/javascript">new Aja...arget: "modelDescription"});</script> hello.htm (Zeile 48)
AjaxJspTag is not defined <script type="text/javascript">new Aja...target: "modelDescription"});</script> hello.htm (Zeile 50)
Can someone give me a hint, what is wrong (what i'm doing wrong)?
This refers to the fact that there is no javascript library included containing definition of the class AjaxJspTag.
The libraries javascripts should be included as follows:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/scriptaculous/scriptaculous.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/overlibmws/overlibmws.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/ajaxtags.js"></script>
I also recommend to check this page for reference: AjaxTags JavaScript-JSP Library - QuickStart (You are especially interested in step 2. described there)
