command is the type of command and * will be used to find the function (it will correllate directly to * a function in the Drupal.CTools.AJAX.Command space). The object can * contain any other data that the command needs to process. * * Built in commands include: * - replace * - selector: The CSS selector. This can be any selector jquery uses in $(). * - data: The data to use with the jquery replace() function. * * - append * - selector: The CSS selector. This can be any selector jquery uses in $(). * - data: The data to use with the jquery append() function. * * - changed * - selector: The CSS selector. This selector will have 'changed' added as a clas. * - star: If set, will add a star to this selector. It must be within the 'selector' above. * * - alert * - title: The title of the alert. * - data: The data in the alert. * * Commands are usually created with a couple of helper functions, so they * look like this: * * @code{ * $commands = array(); * $commands[] = ctools_ajax_command_replace('#ctools-object-1', 'some html here'); * $commands[] = ctools_ajax_command_changed('#ctools-object-1'); * ctools_ajax_render($commands); // this function exits. * } */ /** * Render an image as a button link.
