JQuery or other JavaScript library or framework? about tki HOT 4 OPEN

Can you elaborate a bit on this part: " This is something that also couldn't be template specific either since we would still need to all templates to confirm to specific functionality (cannot use AJAX, use multi-page submissions, etc.)."

I'm not sure I follow that bit.

I've tried for like 20 minutes and like 5 different ways to explain why it wouldn't work, but its just too different. With the current system the 2nd page displays a template page, all the errors, and redirects you on success. With an AJAX based system a secondary page just sends/receives information. It's two totally different ways of doing something.

I mean we could continue to use the same new.php and new2.php pages and have two different ways of registering depending on if it was AJAX or not AJAX, or include a 3rd page, but that's just a bad way of doing it.

Basicaly the registration pages have to change and it can be AJAX, not AJAX, or badly both.

I'm not opposed to the idea, in general, of using AJAX, and definitely supportive of moving away from new/new2 style pages.

That said, I'm closing in on trying to tackle adding a router to the game. I suspect that either effort would be easier to take on after that.

Lets keep this issue open and tackle it after the router issue, and #36 , I think they will all dove-tail together nicely.

I think your best bet is to first work on encapsulating the game's core mechanics in an API (routing!) and then hooking up a front end that just interacts with the API via AJAX calls. This came is the perfect candidate for being a single page app using ember or the like, as you can create a much more fluid experience, vital for a game to not fell too clunky.
