> Is there a jQuery alternative to Prototype's Form.Observer? > http://www.sergiopereira.com/articles/prototype.js.html#Form.Observer
Man... just because something is documented, doesn't mean that its clear as to how its actually used. "Implementation of an Abstract.TimedObserver that monitors any changes to any data entry element's value in a form. Use this class when you want to monitor a form that contais a elements that do not expose an event that reports the value changes. In that case you can use the Form.EventObserver class instead." What the hell does that mean? Anyway, after reading the code, it seems like every N milliseconds it serializes the entire form (!?!?) and if that serialized string is different than the last one, it calls the callback with the new data. I would love to see an instance where this needs to be used instead of an event observer. I guess it would be better to explain what your desired effect is, as that would probably make more sense. --John _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list [email protected] http://jquery.com/discuss/
