Re: Javascript + jquery + php page

FreeMarker just generates text (like HTML, JavaScript, whatever) on
the *server* side. So of course you can have AJAX, jQuery etc. on your
FreeMarker-generated web pages. But mind you, JavaScript runs on the
*client*, and hence after FreeMarker was generated the page.

You can't (or shouldn't) use FreeMarker on the same way as you use
PHP. With PHP you do all the program logic including the presentation,
while with FreeMarker you do the presentation only. FreeMarker is for
MVC frameworks, where it's used for the MVC View. Do the non-View
programming in Java, Groovy, Scala, or whatever you prefer, but not in
FreeMarker. (Or if you don't need MVC, you don't want to use
FreeMarker.)
