The ECMAScript Spec, section 14 Program says:
| The production Program : SourceElements is evaluated as follows:
| 1. Process SourceElements for function declarations.
| 2. Evaluate SourceElements.
| 3. Return Result(2).
In other words, all the script is read, then execution begins. You
may have issues if the function is defined in a script that is loaded
after a script that calls it.

Yeah, I've fallen into that same trap with other bits of things. Overuse of a "fancy" gadget for no reason. For me it's a menu and when having to support non-js clients having a JS based menu is a bad idea (i've gotta fix that soon s ) enjoy the code, glad i could help.

Walter, Yes, you are of course correct. It just didn't occur to me, being responsible for just that narrow functionality, I wasn't thinking. And, being submerged into the AJAX world for so long, was starting to forget the basics. Brian, Thank you very much! I see the catch.. You produce PDF directly inside the page. I had my PDF generation code in a class that is called by the template engine, which then immediately produces and feeds an HTML template to the client, which confuses the hell out of FIrefox (works in IE and Opera though).

I don't *think* so, I'll have a look at the spec out of curiosity. In
the meantime, though, there's no reason we can't put the call at the
end instead of at the beginning -- it's not going to cause any
harm... I've updated the page.

[Proto-Scripty] [wiki] how to load scripts dinamically
Hey,
T.J. wrote a How-To on the wiki based on todays thread:
http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com/prototype:how-to-load-scripts-dynamically
I just have one question regarding the how-to:
Here's the dynamic.js file:
scriptLoaded('dynamic');
function coolFeature()
{
alert('Coolness!');
}
Is it possible that the execution of this included script was paused
after scriptLoaded() call, but before coolFeauture() is created?
If so, it would be possible that the script already announced itself,
but is not ready yet. Then I think the callback should be called after
all the functions was created, on the bottom of the script.
I do not know the javascript on such basic level so I might be wrong.

[Proto-Scripty] menu problem...div onmouseout using Effects.SlideUp
I'm working on a dropdown menu using the script.aculo.us effects. I've got a button that onmouseover uses the Effect.SlideDown to slide a div down and that works great. But, I want the menu to slide back up when the mouse is moved off of the menu. This is the code to lower the menu: Menu. It works perfect. Here is the code to raise it back: . What happens is, when you move the mouse over the div after it lowers, it retracts (onmouseover, not onmouseout like it should). After that first time, if you lower it again, it stays and when you move the mouse off, it retracts like it should. But then, the next time you lower it, instead of sliding down like it's supposed to, it appears at the bottom of the page and then raises and lowers randomly in the wrong place.

[Proto-Scripty] "Safe" hiding of a DOM element
Hi,
I am slowly introducing prototype in a "plain JS" application, and I
was looking for a way to replace the following piece of code:
var pleaseWait = document.getElementById('pleaseWait');
if(pleaseWait)
{
pleaseWait.style.display='none';
}
No rocket science here: if the processing was long enough to trigger
the "please wait" screen (which is a "P" tag here), it is hidden.
I did notice that this would NOT be the same than:
$('pleaseWait').hide();
...since the later would fail if for some reason the DOM object has
not been created.
However, I was expecting that:
Element.hide('pleaseWait');
... would be safe... but it isn't :o(
Is there a clean prototypish way to do this?
Wouldn't it be more convenient if the syntactic-sugar-free version of
Element's methods were "null-proof safe"

No, that would encourage incredibly bad practices and also make
tracking down errors with non-existent elements quite difficult to
track down.
If you want to do it with a one-liner, invoke is null-safe:
$$('#pleaseWait').invoke('hide');

[Proto-Scripty] Re: "Safe" hiding of a DOM element
if($('pleaseWait')) $('pleaseWait').hide();
This is a classic coding issue. I disagree with you - in PHP I have
strict warnings on all the time so I'm always testing whether a
variable is set before accessing it. It's just a much safer way to
write code.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Autoupdater hooked on a JS-generated input?
Hi,
I think the problem is probably that the script is executing before
the browser has had a chance to add the 'input' to the DOM. Fixing it
*may* be as easy as changing your script to use Function.defer[1]:
(function(){
new Ajax.Autocompleter('input', 'suggest', '/suggest')
}).defer();
That defines an anonymous function, then schedules it for execution
later (just a moment later) via Function.defer.

I have an Ajax.Autoupdater hooked onto an input box that is rewritten

Something like this:

[Proto-Scripty] Drag and drop hyperlinked elements
I'm pretty new to the framework so my apologies in advance if this is
a blatantly silly question. When making a hyperlinked element
draggable, is there a way prevent an onclick event from firing as soon
as you drop the element?
For example:
new Draggable("dragSample", {revert: true});
In this example, the image (and its containing become draggable
as expected. However, as soon as the draggable is dropped, the
onclick for the anchor fires and the page is redirected to a new url.
Any way to prevent that from happening? Or is is simply not an option
to have hyperlinked items within a draggable element without firing
the anchor?
Thank much in advance.

Hi, [This'll be a repost for the email subscribers, apologies but the web interface has clearly lost it despite counting it in the totals (as it hasn't appeared in two hours and didn't appear when Tobie posted below).] > My fear is if the load of the ajax data take more than 200 ms the > event on dynamic element doesn't works Sorry, I thought you were talking about *after* the content was loaded. No (reasonable) timeout will reliably cover the time required for the content to load; you need to use a completion callback for that bit, then the defer.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: How to retrieve dynamic element in prototype
You have to use defer from inside the callback you pass to your ajax
object:
new Ajax.Request(url, {
onComplete: function() {
initSurveillance.defer();
}
});

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Dynamic script file loading
Hey Jason,
[Call me T.J. :-)]
Caveat: I have not had to do this in the wild, so there are sure to
be better answers from others. I'll throw out an example that works
in my limited testing (FF3, IE6, Safari 3, Opera 9):
Loading the script dynamically from the statically-loaded script
already on the page (in my example file I triggered this vi a button):
* * *
function go()
{
var head;
var script;
head = $$('head')[0];
if (head)
{
script = new Element('script', { type: 'text/javascript', src:
'dynamic.js' });
head.appendChild(script);
}
}
* * *
A function in the statically-loaded script that other scripts can use
to announce themselves:
* * *
function hello(name)
{
alert('Script "' + name + '" loaded');
}
* * *
My dynamic.js file:
* * *
hello('dynamic');
function coolness()
{
alert('Coolness!');
}
* * * *
A modified version of hello() demonstrating that the dynamically-
loaded script is accessible from the statically-loaded one:
* * * *
function hello(name)
{
alert('Script "' + name + '" loaded');
if (name == 'dynamic')
{
coolness();
}
}
* * * *
Complete code on Pastie:
HTML+static script: http://pastie.org/293753
dynamic.js: http://pastie.org/293754
Again, though, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are subtlties
and wrinkles that aren't dreamt of in my philosophy -- or at least not
handled in this code. :-)

Hi,

I'm sorry if it came off that way, please accept my apologies. With
respect, I think you're misreading though: It's quite the opposite,
I'm genuinely asking if there's something about HTML forms that I've
been missing. I thought I made that clear in the paragraph starting
with:
> > Usually a gap like this -- where a number of people are doing
> > something I've never heard of and can't find a reference for -- means

I even gave an example where that had happened before and I'd learned
from it.

Thanks for pointing that out -- I assume you mean this comment:
<< Keep in mind that "hobbies" multiple select should really be named
"hobbies[]" if we're posting to a PHP or Ruby on Rails backend because
we want to send an array of values instead of a single one. >>
This is *exactly* what I meant about me missing something. I wouldn't
expect the PHP or Ruby folks to be using brackets if they aren't
allowed, but the references I've found so far suggest they aren't.
Can someone point me to a standards reference for this?
> I am new here and you're obviously the top poster...
Wow, I didn't realize that. It's only because this group is a new

If anyone else has had a similar situation with these "arrays" and has

Basically the input boxes are created dynamically, so when a user
clicks "add another hobby", an additional gets added to the div. Hence my use of the
"hobby[]". In php I can read this as an array, implode the data and
add it to the database.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: serialize array
Hi,
This may be slightly OT, but people post things periodically with
these "arrays" of form controls. Believe it or not, I've managed to
get through several years of web programming without having heard
anything official suggesting that you *can* have "arrays" of form
controls. (Radio buttons aren't arrays, but they do that funny thing
where they "share" their control name.[1]) Are these names in the
form "hobbies[]" really valid? I don't see any mention of control
arrays in the W3 docs for the "name" attribute of input elements[2].
The "name" attribute is listed as being CDATA, the discussion of the
CDATA[3] calls out the "name" attribute specifically, saying "...ID
and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be
followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"),
underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".")." So no brackets
then.
Usually a gap like this -- where a number of people are doing
something I've never heard of and can't find a reference for -- means
I've missed something somewhere along the line. (My first experience
of running into JavaScript object literal format was like that; at the
time I hadn't read the spec and was *totally* flummoxed by what I
saw. Made me seek out and read the spec.)
If this is one of those situations, could someone point me at the
relevant reference so I can bone up? :-)
If not, though, that may be your answer: They're invalid names.
