ajaxify cart

[GoogleCodeExporter]

build a JS / HTML / PHP / JSON framework for adding items to cart via the AJAX 
concept.  With it, we should be able to:

a. add product to cart
b. remove product from cart
c. update cart itself (already done)
d. update links like "Checkout (3)" where 3 is the number of items in cart.

This might be in the form of a module

Perhaps a javascript object model could be looked at, and all ajax changes are 
communicated via json.

I don't think the system should rely on javascript at all. Impelmenting this as 
a seperate module should be possible, assuming the order/cart is clean and 
complete.

yes - agreed, it should work without JS.  I also like the json system.  i will 
make a module.

• Added labels: ajax

Ideally a developer could add their own javascript layer to their ecommerce 
site. 

There are frameworks for building applications on top of a RESTful JSON 
interface, such as:

It could also be worth checking out how ajax-based systems like
