[Proto-Scripty] Ajax request onfailure
Hi there, i would like to be able to monitor whether i get a response or not from request, within a certain time. Using firebug, i can see that sometimes, the response does not come back(request indicated with red color on firebug), or takes too long to come back. On both those cases i would like to know so that i can do something about it. I have set the onFailure callback but it never got triggered. What can i do? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.

[Proto-Scripty] AJAX exception handling
Exceptions inside AJAX handlers are sent to onException and then
swallowed. The behavior I think most people would expect is that if
they're not using any onException handlers, exceptions should be
raised normally, not silently discarded. That's the behavior I
want--for errors to always go to the error console, like all other
errors. (I can see the underlying reason for this behavior--so
callbacks are guaranteed to be called, even if one of them
misbehaves.)
I can work around this with a responder:
Ajax.Responders.register({
onException: function(request, exception) {
(function() { throw exception; }).defer();
}
});
The defer() is necessary to break out of Ajax.Responders.dispatch's
exception handler, which silently eats everything. This also has the
nice property that if multiple callbacks throw errors, the callback
chain isn't broken, but all of the errors are still shown. It's also
not dependant on responder order; if it's registered first, later
responders still run.
I'm not sure if throwing an exception outside of the context it was
originally thrown will confuse JS debuggers. (I don't use one; they
all destabilize FF badly for me.)
It would be nice to have this behavior by default. I suspect most
people who use Prototype AJAX have been bitten by this, and this
workaround is a bit obscure for people to have to discover on their
own.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: AJAX exception handling
Hi,
swallowed. The behavior I think most people would expect is that if
they're not using any onException handlers, exceptions should be
raised normally, not silently discarded.
I don't think they would, but more to the point, raised normally
*where*? In the normal case (asynchronous requests), the code that
initiated the request has long since completed. So unless you mean
raising exceptions to the browser (which doesn't seem like a good
idea, and can result in your script being terminated completely), I
don't see where it would get raised. And there's no standard for a
global exception catcher, is there? Some browsers have them, I think,
but I don't know of a standard for one. So even if Prototype raised
the exception globally, how would you handle it?
No, having a callback for exceptions makes sense to me. As with a
standard try/catch/finally block, your exception handling logic is
near (but not interspersed with) your mainline logic, which has proven
to be a fairly useful paradigm. (try = request, catch = onException,
finally = onComplete) Maybe there could be an argument for
synchronous requests to raise the exception out of the Ajax.Request
constructor, but I think it's trumped by having a uniform way of
handling exceptions for all Ajax requests (rather than different
mechanisms depending on whether you're doing a synchronous or async
request).
If you want to semi-globally handle all exceptions in Ajax requests,
as you show you can do it with a responder. If you want to semi-
globally handle all exceptions only in your own Ajax requests (and
not, say, Autocompleter's), a factory function readily handles setting
that up on each request.
function ajaxRequest(url, options) {
options = options || {};
options.onException = options.onException || yourGlobalHandler;
return new Ajax.Request(url, options);
}

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Adding a input box
Hi,
you can try other way to insert like
$('uiElements').insert(input type='text' id='idName' value='anything'/);
it's the simple way as you are writing the code in js file so you can try
this one.
You can try scriptaculous builder.js also. Here is the link
http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/builder

You need to give us more information.
When you say 'not working', it might be any of:
- gives a browser error
- crashes the browser
- no visible effect
- displays the input box, but it is empty
- displays the input box, but won't let you change it
- displays the input box, but when you submit the form, it ignores the
changes you've made
and probably more possibilities I haven't thought of.
Can you see that without knowing what you mean by it, it's almost
impossible to advise you?
Also, you haven't told us what 'usElements' is.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Check element class against array
Hi,
I can think of two approaches off-hand:
1. Use Enumerable#include on the array of classes you want to test
against, using Element#hasClassName as the iterator function (bound to
the instance), e.g.:
var test = ['foo', 'bar', 'foob'];
if (test.any(element.hasClassName.bind(element))) {
// ...
}
or
if (['foo', 'bar', 'foob'].any(element.hasClassName.bind
(element))) {
// ...
}
(You don't need to use $A() around array literals.)
2. Use $w on the class name to get an array of the individual class
names, then use Enumerable#any on that, passing in Enumerable#include
on the array you want to test against as the #any iterator. Something
like this:
var test = ['foo', 'bar', 'foob'];
if ($w(element.className).any(test.include.bind(test))) {
log(true);
}
(Both of those bits of code are untested.)
But if this is going to be happening a lot (a tight loop, or a
mouseover handler, etc.), check the runtime cost of each of these by
going under the covers.
FWIW,

I think you misinterpreted what I was saying. Simply swapping bind

I don't really feel like explaining it and its of potentially trivial
performance results but, savor some of this syntax...
var ele = $(container);
var arr = $w(foo bar derka);
var bool = arr.any(Element.hasClassName.curry(ele));
console.log(bool);//if this throws an error, get firebug!!

@Matt:

Ah, yes, well spotted. Probably not a huge difference, but certainly
a positive one. E.g.:
if (['foo', 'bar', 'foob'].any(Element.hasClassName.curry(element))) {
// ...
}
@OP:
All of Prototype's element extensions are also available via
Element.xyz. E.g., these statements are functionally equivalent:
myElement.addClassName('foo');
Element.addClassName(myElement, 'foo');
The former (the methodized version) is just a wrapper for the latter
(and therefore incurs a tiny bit more overhead).

Supposing you have the aforementioned element stored in the - elm -
variable, and the classes' array in the - classesArr - variable:
var classNamesRegex = new RegExp('\\b(' + classesArr.join('|') + ')\\b'); //
Generates /\b(foo|bar|foob)\b/
if(!classNamesRegex.test(elm.className)){
window.alert('get me out of here');

[Proto-Scripty] Re: AJAX exception handling
On Thu, May 14, 2009 at 8:17 PM, T.J. Crowder t...@crowdersoftware.com wrote: Sure, after figuring out why exceptions are disappearing, and then figuring out how to get around that all-encompassing exception block surrounding the responder. It's a lot of digging to get reasonable default behavior. Or, you know, read the documentation. ;-) The documentation explains how to set exception handlers within AJAX. It does not explain that if you don't set one, exceptions will be silently ignored; to figure out why my callbacks were silently doing nothing I had to trace the source. Nor does it explain how to force exceptions to be propagated normally; delaying the exception in a defer() is hardly obvious. No, seriously, we'll have to agree to disagree on this. I'm just one counterpoint to your statement that most people would expect something else. I wouldn't. I expected, and quickly found when I started using Prototype's Ajax stuff, exactly what's there. I find the default behavior quite reasonable. You find the default behavior of silently ignoring all exceptions reasonable? Seriously? Please explain why it should not propagate exceptions normally when no error handlers are set. You havn't given any rational explanation. If you're using exception callbacks, then this has zero impact on you. -- Glenn Maynard --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.

Please don't use boundaries to separate class values. I wonder who
came up with this silly idea and why it keeps circulating around.
/\bfoo\b/ matches values such as foo-bar which is, of course, wrong.
Class tokens are separated by whitespace (well, technically there's a
particular set of characters. HTML5, for example, defines them as - [\
\u0020\\u0009\\u000A\\u000C\\u000D]) and so regex to match certain
className should be wrapped with whitespace characters (as well as
start of line/end of line tokens) -
/(^|\s)foo(\s|$)/

Hm, I didn't know that. Actually I have never used /b myself, I didn't even
know they existed in JavaScript. I thought they would replace just fine the
(^|\s) thing (which is what I usually use).
Thanks for the advice.
