[mochikit] Target() of asd seems wrong?
Maybe I'm smoking... I've got two connected nodes following the usage below. // otherObject.gotFlash() will be called when 'flash' signalled. connect(myObject, 'flash', otherObject, 'gotFlash'); myObject is the following: a class=foo id=bardivsome dynamic text/div/a The inner div might also be a series of nested divs. Within my function gotFlash, e.target() is returning the div node rather than the a node (though I used the a node to make the connection.) Is this correct? If it is, what is the best way to access object members on a in gotFlash() when target is pointing at div? The contents of a is n levels deep, so I can't keep calling parent, I don't think. Suggestions or responses willing to point out my blunder are welcome.

[mochikit] Re: Target() of asd seems wrong?
target returns the element where event takes place, not the element porting the event listener, so it's correct. If I understand your problem, the best you can do is passing the myObject as argument to the gotFlash method (hint: look at Base.partial). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MochiKit group.

[mochikit] Re: Target() of asd seems wrong?
Hmm. I think I understand, but why then do I include MyObject in the connect call? What is it's purpose if not to be available as the target()? I'd like to attach any number of member data points to it (since I know them at runtime) and have a generic gotFlash() that references target().foo to get any arbitrary foo I may have assigned to that particular object. It allows me to create many possible objects that all call gotFlash which can then follow back through for arguments. Is there a clear example of how to pass arguments on DOM signals? My real world example uses onclick as the signal, and I'm not sure how to pass args other than the event itself. Using partial doesn't help me (that I can see) since my goFlash is shared, and I don't want to bind it to only one node. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MochiKit group.

You include it because it's the way events work in Javascript :). You
don't have other choices.
What is it's purpose if not to be available as the
target()? I'd like to attach any number of member data points to it
(since I know them at runtime) and have a generic gotFlash() that
references target().foo to get any arbitrary foo I may have assigned
to that particular object.
It's not the purpose of target, that's all (and the purpose of the
underlying values target/srcElement). If you want to do this, you have
to connect your function on a node without child (it's a possiblity,
even if it may not be the good choice).
Using partial doesn't help me (that I can see) since my goFlash is
shared, and I don't want to bind it to only one node.
I'd do it like this (not tested):
connect(myObject, 'onclick', partial(gotFlash, myObject));
connect(myObject2, 'onclick', partial(gotFlash, myObject2));
gotFlash = function (node, event) {
// blabla
};

For the record (and my own pride) I figured it out before Thomas' How To message. :P --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MochiKit group.

I've got it working (see attached) but for some weird reason no styles are applied to the nodes (in firefox) when added to the pages dom. divs are not even block elements. I think this might be a side effect of taking nodes from one dom and putting them on another.. could someone please take a look? extract tgz, view test.html in a browser. There's no attachment. Perhaps you should try putting it in the wiki or something. -bob --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MochiKit group.
