[Proto-Scripty] Re: hide/show div id not working - HELP!
Well U Better Stick 2One Library, Personally i think JQUERY will satisfy u anyway, It has a lot of features and got amazin' community . Otherwise U could stick to Prototype hard codin' =) Bye On Sep 5, 12:16 pm, Nelson Hernandez nels...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for the fast response and information. I didn't understand how prototype, jquery, mootools, and dojo were extending javascript differently, I get it a little better now. Since I have both jquery and prototype used in my project, i was able to accomplish my task with the following code so that they play nicely together: script type=text/javascript $(document).ready(function(){ $j= jQuery.noConflict(); $j('.bio_button').click(function(event) { $j('.bio').hide(); var element = Event.element(event); var id = element.id.substring(0,element.id.length-1); var idt = document.getElementById(id) $j(idt).show(); });}); /script Thanks for your help !

Crowder t...@crowdersoftware.com wrote: Hi, $(document).ready(function(){ $(.bio_button).click(function(event) { //when a user clicks on Both of those look like jQuery, not Prototype. Prototype's equivalent of the jQuery ready function is the dom:loaded event[1]: document.observe('dom:loaded', yourCallbackGoesHere); Similarly, $()[2] looks up elements by ID, it does not search for them by selector. $$()[3] does that. It may be worth your taking a step back and reading the Prototype API [4] through from beginning to end. It takes about an hour, and will save you at least that much time across the life of your project (heck, probably even in the coming week).

However, it won't change the display style to show. 2) In the javascript, if I replace $(id).show(); with $(tim).show(); it still doesn't workunless I use tim as one of the class definitions in the html instead of a div id. If I specify tim as a class, and use tim explicitly in the javascript, it works perfectly. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, i'm losing my mind over what seems should be very simple.

I don't have time right now to try this, but just quickly: You say that the code in the load event never runs, are you sure you haven't interrupted it by clicking the button really early and causing the error? The window.load event happens quite late in the overall load process; you might consider using document.observe(dom:loaded, function() { // ... }); instead, it happens earlier and might reduce the window of time in which a user can cause the problem...

Can you create an example of the problem using one very simple HTML file and (say) two script files? (Three if you need it to make the problem occur.) Paste them in Pastie[1] and drop us a link here, and we'll try to figure it out. FWIW, I've never had a problem with files getting loaded and executed out of order. I find it very, very hard to believe that that's actually happening (Alex, if you have a reference for your earlier comment, please do share it), the number of sites that would break is legion. If that really _is_ happening, another way to solve it is to combine all of your JavaScript files into one file as part of a build process.

[Proto-Scripty] InPlaceCollectionEditor : loadCollectionURL data format
Hey, I have a small problem with Scriptaculous and InPlaceCollectionEditor : I can use inline collections like this : var collection_1 = [['twelve', '12.00'], ['twenty-four.00', '24.00'], ['thirty-six.00', '36.00']]; var collection_2 = ['Alan', 'Bill', 'Carl', 'Dave', 'Erik', 'Fran', 'Gene']; Both work well ! But, when I want to use a distant collection, with the loadCollectionURL, the doc is not as helpful as I wish... It's only told that the answer has to be JSON... I precise that my URL is OK. I tried many things like this in the called page : ?php echo var collection = ['bh', 'col', 'corb', 'dukes', 'house', 'iow', 'ps']; ? or this : ?php echo [['12.00', '12.00'], ['24.00', '24.00'], ['36.00', '36.00']]; ?... but the only answer on my main page is : Loading options in the option box... I use PHP, and just need to have an example of the syntax and the format to use. Did one of you encountered and solved this problem ? Thanks for any help.
