[Proto-Scripty] Re: Pulse effect sometimes stopping on darkened version

2009-12-23 Thread evilC
As an afterthought, I guess it is by design.
If you trigger it, it probably uses the current state as a starting
point. I guess what is needed is a way to tell it to stop the current
animation if triggered again before it finishes, or ignore subsequent
requests until the current animation is complete.

I tried queueing effects, but had no luck.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Pulse effect sometimes stopping on darkened version

2009-12-23 Thread evilC
The app as a whole is complicated, but what is driving the effects
isnt.
It's simply html with a plain old link:

link

and the attractAttention function is a one-liner:

function attractAttention(obj){
new Effect.Pulsate(obj, { pulses: 3, duration: 1});
}

Apart from the "Click a Location Marker" link, which also moves the
map etc.

Basically, for a demo, rollover just the last link (My Locations)
repeatedly.
As I said, that effectively executes one line:
new Effect.Pulsate($('pb_user_mylocs_button'), { pulses: 3, duration:
1});

It's clearly not my code. If you go to 
http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/effect-pulsate
and click the demo repeatedly, you get the same problem.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Problem with prototype parameters

2009-12-23 Thread T.J. Crowder
Hi,

You're supplying the parameters as a string, which means *you're*
taking responsibility for URL-encoding them correctly[1] -- but you're
not. I suggest letting Prototype handle the encoding, by supplying
your parameters as an object:

parameters: {name: $F('name')},

function sendRequest() {

method: 'post',
parameters: 'name='+$F('name'),
onCreate : function startLoading() {
$('respuesta').innerHTML= '';
Form.Element.disable("Envia");

onComplete: function showResponse(req){
$('respuesta').innerHTML= req.responseText;
Form.Element.enable("Envia");
if(req.responseText == "success") {
$('mensaje_contacto').innerHTML= 
'success';
}
}
});
}


I return "Hi" satisfactorily. But if I enter "Hi?" I returned empty.
It seems that if I enter (?) Occurs an error in the parameter section.
How can I solve this?. I hope your help. Thank you very much.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Pulse effect sometimes stopping on darkened version

Can you make a cut-down example that shows only the trigger element  
and the effect element? I tried looking at the source, and there's  
just so much else going on in there that I don't know where to start.  
Is that big lump of code in the middle (begins with unescape) what you  
are using to drive any of these effects?

[Proto-Scripty] Prototype UI Carousel

2009-12-23 Thread zion
Hi,

I have a big problem with prototype UI Carousel. Instead of using the
"next_button" and "previous_button", I need to access carousel
elements from a menu. For example clicking a menu link inside  i need the carousel to scroll to the fourth carousel
element.

Could it really be so that there is no possibility to scroll to a
specific carousel element from a custom button? Only next and
previous...?

Actually I am using (or trying to use) the carousel to scroll the
entire content on my page only showing one carousel item(width:960px)
at a time. Should I try to use some other carousel instead(jquery..)?

Thanks for all answers!

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Need immediate help closing one blind when another opens

2009-12-23 Thread Christophe Decaux
I'm not a programmer either, but here's how I would solve your problem

I assume that you have some function that does the "show info" stuff and that 
function is called whenever a click is made.
So I would store in a global variable the name of the element that is "opened"
But before you store this info, I would check if that variable has already some 
value which means that another element is opened and therefore you could close 
it

But again, I'm not a pro, so forgive me if I this solution is not elegant

You might need to re-think that statement. From ECMA-262:

"Native Object
"A native object is any object supplied by an ECMAScript
implementation independent of the host environment. Standard native
objects are defined in this specification. Some native objects are
built-in;others may be constructed during the course of execution of
an ECMAScript program."

Can you imagine the ramifications of IE not allowing native objects to
have methods? :-)

Perhaps you meant host object. But if that were true, most of
Prototype.js would not work at all in IE.

Perhaps you did mean host object. Yes, it's a bad idea to add *non-
standard* properties to host objects. How do you reconcile that notion
with the use of Prototype.js's $() function?

[Proto-Scripty] Prototype Form.serializeElements

2009-12-23 Thread Neede
Hello,

I've run into a response performance problem with IE6.  My form has a
4 scrollable tables that each contain up to 2000 check boxes (names:
typeA, typeB, typeC, typeD).  serialize() is taking a long time to
process, so i was attempting to speed it up by only serializing the
check boxes that I need by using:

Form.serializeElements( $("frm").getInputs('checkbox', "typeA"),
true);

this works fine but i also want to serialize typeB and typeC. I need
everything but typeD which happens to have the the greatest number of
checkboxes.

I tried creating an array for the check box names
arChkBoxes = [ "typeA", "typeB", "typeC"];
var params = Form.serializeElements( $("frm").getInputs('checkbox',
arChkBoxes ), true);

Any help on the correct syntax or ideas on how to speed up the
serialization is appreciated!
