Re^4: Using CGI::Ajax for multiple form buttons/divs simultaneously

I have noticed that every implementation of AJAX that I have laid eyes upon has one feature in common:

print $pjx->build_html( $cgi, \&main, {-charset=>'UTF-8', -expires=>'-
+1d'} );
[download]

Is there some way of connecting the AJAX to more than one subroutine, rather than having only the "&main" option?

Something more diversifiable may be what I need. For example, if I can succeed at having more than one option here, I could also incorporate the AJAX into the login side of the script which, for now, I have left without AJAX. Understanding this, in fact, may be key to helping me solve what I am doing now with multiple divs.

I have been making more attempts to get AJAX working with multiple divs, but have yet to see success. Sometimes, "brute force" trial-and-error seems the only thing I can do, especially having never used the tool, in this case AJAX, before.

Blessings,

Is there some way of connecting the AJAX to more than one subroutine, rather than having only the "&main" option? Sure, that's no problem. When you initially create the CGI::Ajax instance, you can pass in as many "js_call_name => perl_coderef" pairs as you like. e.g., `my $pjx = CGI::Ajax->new(first => \&first_handler, second => \&second_ +handler); sub first_handler { ... } sub second_handler { ... }` [download] Note that you still call `build_html` in the exact same way - this is set up when the CGI::Ajax object is created, not when it's used.
