Re: [Proto-Scripty] Show of hands

2014-01-03 Thread Dave Kibble
Happy New Year to you too. I'm not a power user but maintain a site
with lots of widgets that are Prototype based, including wide use of
TableKit and Ajax pop-up editors. I've been holding off investing too
heavily in scriptaculous and Prototype because of the uncertainty but
on the flip side have a big job to convert to anything else.

thanks for your support on this forum though - it's comforting to know
there's some out there.

If Prototype were open-sourced with the enthusiasts maintaining it I
would feel much better about it.

cheers
Dave

Re: [Proto-Scripty] highlighting a tablerow

2013-01-01 Thread Dave Kibble
I think there's also something weird about CSS applied to table rows,
(I think) cells don't inherit all properties from the row they
'belong' to. Make sure your HTML/CSS works in a stand-alone document
first to check.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Hi, new to group. Having an issue with visible() method. any suggestions?

2012-10-15 Thread Dave Kibble
To answer your OP directly (not sure if it has been, I didn't notice it).

   open_div = 'system'+k+'';
   ...
   if ($(open_div).visible()==true) {

if there is no item with id 'system'+k then $(open_div) returns null
(correctly) and so $(open_div).visible() throws an error. (for example
if nothing has "id='system123'" then when k-123 the error wiil throw)

You can avoid it with:

   if ($(open_div)) {
   if ($(open_div).visible()==true) {

[Proto-Scripty] new Element removes the name property from passed initialiser in IE7

2011-09-27 Thread Dave Kibble
Just spent more time than I should discovering a (possible) bug in
prototype's new Element and could not find it in a web search so
thought I'd log it here.

I have an object that stores the type of a pop-up (simplified):

  this.attributes = {name: 'value', type: 'text'};

then uses the object to create a new element of the correct type:

  new Element('input', this.attributes);

in IE7 (not Firefox) the name parameter is deleted so next time I call

   new Element('input', this.attributes);

the input element does not have a name property.


I fixed it with a rather big kludge in the call to make a copy of the
attributes:

new Element('input', $H(op.attributes).clone().toObject());

The problem seems to be in prototype.js global.Element where the code says

if (HAS_EXTENDED_CREATE_ELEMENT_SYNTAX && attributes.name) {
  tagName = '<' + tagName + ' name="' + attributes.name + '">';
  delete attributes.name;
...


Hope this helps someone (or maybe someone else can suggest a better fix!).

cheers
Dave

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Firefox height:100% "bug" w/ prototype fix

I suggest that you insert a doctype and then run it through a

are left with if you still have the problem.

depends entirely on what you are trying to capture - is the "edit"
always there? is the  /admin/users/ always there?

in general I'm a great fan of http://www.w3schools.com/ but not sure
what to recommend for regular expressions in general - most sites are
confusing rather than educational for the novice :) you can try
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_regexp.asp

you might find this regular expression useful:

var match = myRegExp.exec(link.href.toString());
alert(match[1] + '\n' + match[2] + '\n' + match[3]);

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Ajax.Updater sometime results in normal http request (not XMLHttpRequest)

2010-07-29 Thread Dave Kibble
This is a work-around rather than a fix - I'm guessing the URL for the
main page is the same as that used for the Ajax? If the server does
not see the post parameters then it returns the whole page - well,
just use another script instead - in that one, if no parameters are
seen no response is sent (or a default empty response maybe).

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Simple Ajax form

What happens if you type /getIP.php into a browser address bar?

Your PHP should emit a valid HTML file (i.e. include head and body
tags), but I don't know if that would necessarily stop it working.
