Adding AJAX to your component
From Joomla! Documentation
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
This is a very interesting approach. I would like to have some more information concerning this approach and I'm willing to help to improve the article
Content-Type Header[edit]
As I tried that in a component in Joomla 1.5, I needed to to set the content-type of the response to xml: header("Content-type: text/xml"); Joomla does't seem to check the type of content in the output buffer to make the correct settings (which is good).
index2.php note[edit]
In Joomla 1.6 and newer, you can't use anymore index2.php. Instead use component URL + &tmpl=component, e.g. index.php?option=com_mycomponent&view=mycomponent&Itemid=5181&tmpl=component
