This may be using some ES5 variant. Many new methods in this new version of ECMAScript are either inspired by or present in Prototype: http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/drafts/tc39-2009-050.pdf http://github.com/280north/narwhal/blob/master/engines/default/lib/global-es5.js Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.

JScript a decently compliant engine, thought not fast. It does have the advantage of being installed on every Windows machine. Classic ASP also uses the same engine. There's a few extra APIs for ActiveXObjects and basic shell and window alerts (WScript.) Nathan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype: Core" group.

Rüdiger Check out Prototype ASP: http://nlsmith.com/projects/prototype-asp/, http://github.com/smith/prototype-asp/tree/asp. It works in cscript as well as other places. It's just a quick hack and is not meant to be it's own product or anything, but it works reliably on jscript and other non-browser platforms.

I'm not aware of any performance difference, so it's mostly a matter
of taste. Someone else here might have details on a difference, but
I'm guessing is negligible.

I would make sure you make the last character an operator when
breaking a line like that to avoid semicolon insertion problems. See
http://javascript.crockford.com/code.html.
Also, this topic and the previous on this thread would probably be
better posted in the Prototype and Scriptaculous group rather than the
Core group, since this doesn't pertain to the Prototype core.
For your overlay class, you might have a look a http://livepipe.net
and its Control.Window and Object.Event objects for possible code &
ideas.

The version on the Files page contains the most recent Proto/Scripty, which aren't updated too often. Last time a point release came out I asked Robert to post an updated version and he did so quickly. Even if it wasn't updated, it would be trivial to roll your own.

If I were in an environment where the JSON object and its methods were
not available, would doing something like this:
if (typeof JSON === "undefined") {
JSON = {
stringify : function (o) { return Object.toJSON(o); },
parse : function (s) { return String(s).evalJSON(); }
};
}
produce the same output as using native JSON or the json2.js library,
or would there be differences? If there would be differences, what
would they be?
Thanks,
Nathan

[Prototype-core] Re: Prototype adapter for Pixastic (javascript image processing)
You could do both with a methodized version of (2), the same way you
can do $('el').fade(), etc. I like that because they are Effects, and
scripty doesn't necessarily "own" the Effect namespace, so you won't
have to depend on it, just do Effect = Effect || {} before you extend
it.
Nice idea. Pixastic is a really cool library.
Thanks,
Nathan
