Hi All,
I am a newbie to this and recently started learning PHP. I am currently using PDT as my ide to learn PHP programming. So far so good.

I want to build some Ajax programs using the same ide (eclipse PDT) and i am not finding any direct way to do that. Request you to provide any help or pointers.

I am writing a small ajax script in a html file to fetch a file and display the same in the html page. I am not getting any intellisese also while writing the program. The below are the steps i am performing in the eclipse PDT

1. File->New->PHP Project->"Ajax Demo"
2. Right click "Ajax Demo" -> New -> HTML

Version of the PDT Eclipse i am using: 3.3.2 and PHP: 5.2.6
Do i need to install any separate plugin to run Ajax programs on Eclipse?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
--Mayur

actually i got a pretty bad experience with ajax and eclipse, when i was a newbie. I suggest you to use Jquery (http://www.jquery.com) it's pretty easy, and my IDE is just Gedit/Kwrite depending if i'm on gnome/kde
