Ajax Hover Question - ajax

I am brand new to AJAX but I feel AJAX is what I need to get this requirement finished. When the user hovers over a link, I need a box to show where they can input their email and name for a newsletter signup. Can someone kindly provide me with what this technique is called in AJAX so I can try to find some tutorials? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would suggest using a JQuery plugin such as clueTip. You can find demos and documentation on clueTip here: http://plugins.learningjquery.com/cluetip/demo/
Try looking at example number 4 on that page, entitled sticky, with arrows

how does facebook opens short popups for photos and other short messages and remains on same page

While using facebook, when we click on some links, a small box appears in front of us initially showing LOADING and then loads the content e.g. photos, show more etc.
Are they using AJAX to do so!
Please help me in this.
Thanx in advance...!
You might get the same effect using AJAX.

facebook wall-like ajax in yii's zii widget list

I'm very new to yii, and I'm trying to integrate the facebook-wall-like style into my post list.
In short, I just want to add a "Load More" with ajax to load more posts at the bottom of the post list.
I know how to write ajax or html, but I don't know how to integrate this style into yii.
I'v tried the zii.widgets.CListView/CDetailView.. but I can't find ways to add ajax.
If there's anyone who knows the how-to, please share it with me.
Thanks!
Take a look at this extension, it is a pager that adds infinite scroll like in twitter - when you get to the bottom of the page it loads more content via ajax. If you prefer to load more only once a button is pressed, i'm sure it's just a matter of overriding the button's onclick event.

Twitter like Form Submission using Ajax or Jquery

I need a simple example of form submission very similar to Twitter.
How you type in a comment and click update and without the whole page refreshing, the comment gets added below on top of the rest of the comments.
I would prefer something in Jquery as my PHP project is already integrated with it.
See this pleae.
I wrote an example a while ago that more-or-less covers that. Getting data from a form is basic DOM, and you'll want to switch out the GET to POST since you are sending data rather then just requesting it.
I found these links for you:

Using Jmeter to fill out a form?

Can anyone help me figure out how to use jmeter and force it to fill out and submit a form automatically? For example, I need to fill out the google search box and then click the I'm Feeling Lucky button?
Google is not a good example because it uses GET for the form. For example, to search "jmeter" and press Feeling Lucky button, you can just send this URL,
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=jmeter&oq=&btnI=1
To do a real post, you need to find the form control field names from a trace or by looking at HTML source and just do something like showed here. The username/password are the field name to post. The action is http://www.example.com/login.
Please note the screen shot is wrong. The method is a "GET" and it should be set to "POST", otherwise the form will not be submitted properly.
Is there a reason why you want to load test Google? If you just want to have a script that tests the functionality of a Website, try selenium: http://seleniumhq.org/. If you are actually trying to load test a form, you have to create the appropriate request. Using a tool like Fiddler can help.

facebook-ish like iframe in ajax

Can anyone here expand on how I can create a frame within a page, like facebook has (when you click on a user's profile and your not friends with him, for example) in AJAX, or even better - does anyone know a framework that would do the AJAX dirty work, with me writing in PHP?
Something like
$frame = new iframeObject;
$frame->setType('a');
and so forth?
Thanks!
