I'm not sure I understand? Isn't data- the new HTML5 way to do custom
element configuration?

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: AJAX callbacks are not executed atomically?

2010-09-24 Thread Phil Petree
Same difference.

Since the AJAX calls are Async you have no control over what gets completed
first or what gets interrupted by what.

If script a does a complex query taking 2.2 seconds and returns a large data
set while script b does a simple query that takes .02 seconds and returns
100 bytes, script b will almost certainly interrupt script a.

You have two options (as far as I know), you can daisy chain the calls and
thereby guarantee the call/completion order or you can create your own
semaphore process and lock (sleep) the onComplete of script b until script a
clears the "i'm done" flag.

2010-09-24 Thread JoJo
I believe I solved the problem.  I had a queue of work orders. One of
these work orders queued up another work order, so it was a nested
AJAX request - BAD IDEA!

we've  encountered that issue in each of our products using scripty, drag &

Re: [Proto-Scripty] AJAX callbacks are not executed atomically?

If you want a() to finish before b() and b() to finish before c() then you
will have to daisy chain in the onComplete code.

[Proto-Scripty] AJAX callbacks are not executed atomically?

2010-09-24 Thread JoJo
I have several lines of code that I want to run atomically (no context
switches to other code). Please look at the following barebones
example that illustrates the issue:

//=

function doAjax() {
 console.info('making request');
 new Ajax.Request(
  url, {
   onSuccess: function() {
 console.info('success');
   },
   onFailure: function() {
console.info('failure');
   },
   onComplete: function() {
console.info('complete');
   }
  }
 );
}

doAjax();
doAjax();

//=

If the processor is "faster" than the network, I expect the output to
be :

making request
making request
success
complete
success
complete

However, under certain conditions, success+complete is sometimes not
atomic. Here's some output that I have seen:

(A) making request
(A) success
(B) making request
(A) complete
(B) success
(B) complete

This is against my expectations and breaks my code logic - the website
fails to function when complete does not IMMEDIATELY follow success.
Can someone shed some light on why this is happening? I thought AJAX
is only asynchronous while waiting for the server and should become
synchronous as it's executing the callback code...

[Proto-Scripty] Execute JavaScript within HTML Response to Ajax Request

2010-09-24 Thread Greg
Via Google search, I found this answer today here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/278122/how-to-force-javascript-to-execute-within-html-response-to-ajax-request

I have it "half" working. What I mean is, my response text comes back
and updates my div perfectly with the HTML when evalScripts: false,
however the scripts within the HTML are of course not executed. When I
set evalScripts: true, then the ONLY thing that executes is the
scripts and it outputs it directly to the page instead of loading it
into the div.

I think the problem is that the scripts I am trying to execute are
likely document.writes generated by the Maani charts (http://
www.maani.us/xml_charts/index.php) and so instead of loading text into
the div, the executed scripts just write themselves out to the
browser.

Any ideas on how I can fix this? Here's my Prototype code:

function runCalcs() {
var request = new Ajax.Updater
(
"result_tab_frame","ajax_runCalcs.asp",
{
method: "get",
evalScripts: true,
onSuccess: function () {
document.getElementById("loading").className = "clsHide";
}
}
);
}
