Edit View: Sidebar Ajax

[johnnyoffline]

Dan,

I think this might be the big hairy ticket. How do you want to handle the ajax for the sidebar?

We talked about this a little bit last week concerning things like keeping track of modal states of the interactive elements, etc.

I feel like nailing this is key to the user experience of the blog plugin. If our sidebar has chunky busted interactions, the whole blog plugin will feel janky.

I liked your idea of just passing Data and updating the elements to reflect this instead of updating the entire partial.

What does that take to implement? Should we work on this together on Friday's lab so I know how it works for when I do things like hook up the faux-title thing in the main column etc.

After trying several methods, updating full partials, chunking the form up into little bits, we decided to handle AJAX responses using JSON.
