Looking at the following lines from the effects.js: (in
Effects.Base.start )
if (options && options.transition === false) options.transition =
Effect.Transitions.linear;
this.options =
Object.extend(Object.extend({ },Effect.DefaultOptions), options ||
{ });
It looks like "linear" will be used unless I specify a transition
explicitly every time I call an effect. Why is that first line
explicitly putting Effect.Transitions.linear into the options, rather
than putting it once in Effect.DefaultOptions? I realize I can modify
effects.js but I really don't want to do that (for one, it's global,
rather than being able to call Effects.DefaultOptions per-page) and
for another it means merging rather than replacing whenever I update
Script.aculo.us.
Thanks again.
