[Prototype-core] Creating unit tests for asynchronous operations

[Viktor Kojouharov]

Currently, the only way to create unit tests for such operations is to
use the wait function. However, async operations have a nasty habit of
always finishing after the waiting time is over, which causes an
unjust test failure.

So I've made extension to the unittest library, which allows me to
delay a bunch of tests until I decide when the operation is finished.
This is pretty much what the code looks like:

Should I file this as a bug in trac?

[Prototype-core] Cloning elements.

[Yanick]

I have been working on a Element.toHTML function, and added two
methods to the Element object. And I was looking for any insight about
my code. Please, feel free to comment. Thanks.

 start 

html
head
/head
body

div id=container
  div id=test_div style=border: 1px solid blue;
div id=foo_divBar !/div
  /div
/div

script type=text/javascript src=prototype.js/script
script type=text/javascript

Element.addMethods( {

toHTML: function(element) {
  if (typeof element=='string') element = $(element);  // IE needs
that check with XML
  return Try.these(
function() {
  var xmlSerializer = new XMLSerializer();
  return  element.nodeType == 4 ? element.nodeValue :
xmlSerializer.serializeToString(element);
},
function() {
  return element.xml || element.outerHTML || $
(element).clone().wrap().up().innerHTML;
}
  ) || '';
},

getStyles: function(element) {
  element = $(element);
  return $A(element.style).inject({}, function(styles, styleName) {
styles[styleName.camelize()] = element.getStyle( styleName );
return styles;
  } );
},

clone: function(element) {
  var clone = new Element(element.tagName);
  $A(element.attributes).each(function(attribute) { if
( attribute.name != 'style' ) clone[attribute.name] =
attribute.value; });

  clone.setStyle( element.getStyles() );
  clone.update(element.innerHTML);

  return clone;
} } );


alert( $('test_div').toHTML() );

$('container').appendChild( $('test_div').clone() );
$('container').appendChild( $('test_div').clone() );
$('container').appendChild( $('test_div').clone() );

/script
/body
/html

[Prototype-core] Prototype Pagination

[Matt Foster]

Greetings Everyone,

I have developed a pretty smooth UI Control for handling
client side pagination.  It is composed of 3 classes that allow for
maximum decoupling.  In this manner the view is decoupled from the
iteration control, such that the same iteration control can be used on
any data set while the view can be specialized for any format of JSON
or XML.

Best Regards,
 Matthew Foster
