Article shows how to create Ajax forms with server-side actions using the Dojo toolkit and Zend Framework. It guides you through creation of a sample user login form that uses dojo.io client-side packages and Zend_Controller and Zend_Filter_Input server-side packages.
A few days ago I understood the right usage of the framework. Frankly speaking, it does not help with creating Web forms—it has no high-level complex components like TDataGrid in PRADO or even Repeater in ASP.NET. And what I understood is that it is not Zend Framework’s business how developers are creating their forms and here is a reason for this: modern pages are created with a lot of JavaScript and, I believe, are created with client-side components, not server-side. For example, Dojo toolkit or Backbase framework has a lot of JavaScript components for creating powerful pages. Basic form controls, complex components like DataGrid are ready to use and Zend Framework only should help with providing them with data and performing various operations with a controller. And now it has enough to serve “rich clients” requests.
