[mochikit] Re: designing netvibes type look and feel

[Stan Rogers]

The Netvibes content boxes use background images. The trick is that
they use several -- one for the top shaded area and box bounding (no-
repeat), one for the bottom (no-repeat again, and includes the drop
shadow), and one for the box body (repeat-y). If the boxes/panels
are fixed width, it's easy. If you want to make the components width-
resizable, then you need to include styling-only elements (that is,
elements with no semantic significance that only exist so they can
contain background images).

 Hey guys,

 I am looking for some help designing a javascript component. What I am
 looking for is a square, resizeable glossy looking box (similar to the ones
 inwww.netvibes.comor pageflakes.com). I do not want them to be movable but
 it will be great if they are resizeable.

 Is there a way I can do this using mochikit/any other library? If these are
 not movable compnents, is it possible for me to develop a similar look and
 feel (slightly raised, glossy, shaded background etc) using CSS? One option
 that comes to my mind is making opaque images with the desired look and feel
 and use them as background images in various DIVs. However, in this case,
 resizing will be a major issue.

 I would appreciate any pointers on this. Also, please let me know if there
 are any libraries that can help me achieve such a look and feel.

 Thanks and Regards,

 Aziz

[mochikit] Re: Comparing dates

[Stan Rogers]

More to the point here, Date() returns a string the way you are using
it, not a date object. If you want a date object to compare, use the
new keyword. (Date objects can be directly compared with ,  and =,
since they have a single scalar data member and collapse to a
milliseconds-after-epoch value on comparison.)

  Hi everyone,

  I'm having problems comparing the following:

  isoTimestamp(2007-08-13T04:00:00+00:00)

  which gives me:

  Mon Aug 13 2007 00:00:00 GMT-0400 (EDT)

  and:

  Date()

  which (right now) gives me:

  Tue Aug 28 2007 16:14:12 GMT-0400 (EDT)

  ie. isoTimestamp(2007-08-13T04:00:00+00:00)  Date() is returning
  false.

  I think it's something to do with the lack of quotes around the result
  of isoTimestamp - though quite what that means i'm not sure.  Please
  someone help me out, i really need to be able to compare these dates.

 JavaScript's built-in comparison operators are no good for comparing
 objects, only strings and numbers. This is why MochiKit.Base.compare
 exists.
