That was a very basic example i wrote !!... Plus your code is not re-usable which was kinda my point and its about 50 lines where as mine would fit into perhaps 10 or so... inline is alot more flexible...
In basic examples yes this way does work but is memory expensive and alot of work !!!... As i said - each to thier own in thier coding style ... while inline is still valid xhtml i will continue to use it Also ... is the "record" node on the href's valid xhtml ? because i cant see it on the list of valid nodes!... And i would rather use inline callees than use invalid xhtml!

A very dynamic site where you need to pull varying variables -- excuse the psudeo code !! just proving its needed sometimes !! funciton doSomething({options}) { new Ajax.Updater(options.element,options.url, { method:options.method, evalScripts: options.evalscripts, parameters: { options.parametersName: options.params } onComplete: options.onCompleteFunction // Not sure if would work - as i've never tried }); } <div onclick="doSomething({element:'myDiv',url:'myurl.php',evalscrips:true,parametersName:'postbody',params:'<?php echo($myVeryDynamicVariableIJustRecievedFromAnotherAjaxRequestThatTheDocumentCouldNotPossiblyKnowWithoutUpdatingLotsOfHiddenVariables); ?>',onCompleteFunction:'function(){alert(\'Hi\');}'});"> </div> Now without inline handlers i would have to make alot of functions.. this way i can reuse my code and just change the inputs .... I will state i dont do this often but sometimes it is needed as a script cannot always get the variables it needs as some change dynamically from other requests and outside factors I built an extremely dynamic Web Desktop over the last 2 years which is alot faster than anything else out there... One of the main factors it stays fast is the client memory is not clogged up with huge initial downloads of functions that only get used every now and again!. My view is each to thier own .... If it aint broke dont fix it and if everyone wrote code the same then the internet would be boring !! I would be interested to see how you would tackle problems like the one above as i've never really discussed it with anyone before Regards Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Waldron To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 04, 2009 4:06 PM Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Working outside loop, but not inside A quick google for "php single quotes vs double quotes" will help you understand the difference and what it means to the overhead and scalability of your code. I picked this article from said google results: http://andrewgatenby.com/single-quotes-and-double-quotes-in-php @Alex, I honestly can't think of any scenario where it is ok to use inline handlers, but I'm definitely interested in hearing your argument regarding them. I'm of the belief that complete separation of logic is imperative and should be regarded as best practice (or even, "only practice")... thoughts? @Craig, Apparently Effect.toggle() does not like the element chained to it... odd. Anyway, you can improve this much further.... I've posted a demo. http://genevajs.com/misc/demo-ps-list-0010.php Rick --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
