Quick Start

First follow the steps at install page

Prepare JSP View

Your JSP, of course, is where it all comes together.

  1. declare the taglib
  2. include a reference to the JavaScript source
  3. include a reference to any CSS required
  4. add your content
  5. include the AJAX tag you want to use.
    <!--Step 1 -->
<%@ taglib uri="http://ajaxtags.org/tags/ajax" prefix="ajax" %>
<!-- ..... -->

<html>
<head>
  <title>AJAX JSP Tag Library</title>


<!--Step 2 -->
  <script type="text/javascript" src="/js/ajaxtags.js"></script>


<!--Step 3 -->
  <!-- defaults for Autocomplete and displaytag -->
  <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/ajaxtags.css" />
  <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/css/displaytag.css" />


</head>
<body>


<!--Step 4 -->
<form>
  Make:
  <select id="make" name="make">
    <option value="">Select make</option>
    <c:forEach items="${makes}" var="make">
      <option value="${make}">${make}</option>
    </c:forEach>
  </select>

  Model:
  <select id="model" name="model">
    <option value="">Select model</option>
  </select>
</form>


<!--Step 5 -->

<ajax:select
  baseUrl="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/GetCarModel.view"
  source="make"
  target="model"
  parameters="make={make}" />



</body>
</html>
