Thanks a lot Pete, I have updated Prototype Carousel widget, (http:// prototype-carousel.xilinus.com/). In fact, Element.childrenWithClassName was in effect.js but I found nothing about it in the 1.6.5 change log (http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ browser/spinoffs/scriptaculous/CHANGELOG?rev=5468) which is not very cool.
Now I have to check my other projects :( Seb On Nov 14, 2006, at 8:55 AM, Christophe Porteneuve wrote: > > Pete Forde a écrit : >> However, the code in question was Sebastien Gruhier's Prototype >> Carousel widget, (http://prototype-carousel.xilinus.com/) which is >> well designed, fairly recent, and perhaps unfortunately, widely used. >> I say unfortunately only because the moment people upgrade their >> scripts - or soon, Rails 1.2 - they are in for a nasty surprise. > > At any rate, I'll notify Sébastien about this, so he gets a chance to > fix it ASAP. > >> ps.
