Is there a reason why you opted not to give your anchor tags both an href AND an onclick function while adding a return false? For example: <a href="somewhere.org" rel="nofollow">click me</a> It seems to do the trick without having to use any substitution scripts or class/method associating.</p> I realize this article is a year old, and I don’t have the time to read all comments so forgive me if this is redundant, but … Is there a reason why you opted not to give your anchor tags both an href AND an onclick function while adding a return false?

One question about the usage of anchors in the demo.

Don’t you think that this practice could run into massive issues when there’s some kind of “accelerator” installed on the client - fetching all “links” in the background and thus setting done/deleting the todo items while the user’s wondering what to insert next?

IMHO using GET requests for state changing actions is a big no-no, but probably I’m missing something here.

Of course, the demo could easily be changed to use inline forms for each action.

They were meant to be [] instead of (), but it slipped by somehow. These days I don't use $_REQUEST anymore, so it is weird looking back at this :)</p> Thanks for catching that Pedram.

$_REQUEST is a super global array… not a function and since $ cannot precede function calls, you could not make an ancillary function just in case you find this mistake often… like it appears again here…

if($_REQUEST(“action”) == “new”) { addUser(); }

I wrote rapid framework to fix a lot of this mess.
