So, one of the things I've always wanted to do was expand upon the simplicity of the Lightbox Gone Wild! object that the coders at www.particletree.com put together months ago. I used it on an application I wrote to organize my own picture albums on my localhost web server, but I had to hack it apart to get it to do the things I wanted it to do. I looked at the Prototype Window class, thick box, grey box, etc. and all of them didn't seem to be quite what I was looking for. So, this afternoon I decided to try and write one myself. I've gotten about 95% of the way completed (at least for the first go) but I can't get the dialog, after it is shown, to disappear.
Here's a pastie: http://pastie.caboo.se/49182 Here's a demo: http://www.dashifen.com/.temp/ You can see at line #19 within the pastie that I'm trying to get anything within the newly loaded div#dialog element which an action attribute equal to "deactivate" and then capture click events to close the dialog. If I change line #20 to include an anonymous function (element.observe("click", function() { alert("hello world"); }); for example), the anonymous function works fine. I suspect I'm still hazy on the exact usage (and purpose) of the bindAsEventListener() method of the Function object. Anyone got any ideas about how to get the darned things to close when they're opened? Also, for what it's worth, I'm not even worrying about anything other than Firefox at this point. The first step is to get it working. I'll worry about getting working in other browsers as phase 2!! Also, FYI, I'm using prototype.js version 1.5.1 release candidate 2.
