in thread 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'} );

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,

    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 { ... }
    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.
