Does Shopsite support Ajax?

Postby ahsenabro » Sat Jan 12, 2008 11:48 pm

I think I am going to choose Shopsite Pro for my new store.

Some latest store features require Ajax.

Can I do Ajax stuff with Shopsite Pro?

AJAX? Yes it does!

Here's an example of AJAX within Shopsite that we've been playing with:

This example is especially useful when the customer is browsing a lot of products. It cuts back on the need to repeatedly click products and then click back to the product category page. This makes it less likely you will lose the customer.

Very nice, Chris.

This is very nice Chris.

So it is possible to use Ajax with ShopSite. Are there any tutorials for doing this in ShopSite or is doing this just required HTML, CSS, and Ajax knowledge?

I am asking since ShopSite uses its own tokens for templates, so I am not sure how you can change the template itself and put Ajax in there?

I am not a programmer, by the way.

Topher, I've seen some new commerce sites that do about the same thing with just a product mouseover

Yes, it can be easily modified for use with a mouseover.
