Hi All,
I think this info about genevaJS should have had its own thread in
this group, and an entry to scripteka !
Is it working for jQuery plug-in ??

Hi Rick,

Sounds cool for people making the move over, or more importantly

I think I'd suggest anyone writing *new* code use the native API
unless they expect to ditch Prototype for jQuery. :-)  But very cool

TJ,

Al MacDonald of Processing.js used GenevaJS in a presentation last night...
he wanted to use Box2D.js (a prototype extension) but he's not familiar with
Prototype syntax... anyway its now posted on our site, with links to his
presentation.

I dont see it as a tool for people making the move... no movement at all. I
see it as a tool to reduce the amount of code we're writing. Or perhaps for
a jQuery developer that gets a job at a prototype shop... there are many
scenarios. We're planning on meeting with the Boston Rails Group soon to
discuss working with them to build it into Rails as a helper to prototype...
as I mentioned it gzips to 3k.

Also - GenevaJS is sideways compatible, for example:

$('.classname').eq(1).highlight();

eq(1) - jquery method for showing the element at index 1 of $('.classname'),
it will get highlight()'ed from effects.js

(yeah... that example is super simple.. but i've been doing some zany stuff,
which i intend to post)

Anyway, that example:

  If you view source on the page, you'll see i'm calling prototype.js
   and
  genevajs (this is MY version, its filled with JUNK, please do not 
  use
 this).
  GenevaJS allows me to write jQuery syntax in the Prototype
   environment.
  Compressed and g-zipped it comes it at 3k

   Hi,

        $$('img.alpha').setOpacity(0.5);

   $$ returns an array[1][2], and arrays don't have a setOpacity
   method.
   You want to call the setOpacity method on each element in the
   array,
   which you can do in a variety of ways thanks to Prototype's
   Enumerable
   [3] mix-in, which it mixes in with arrays.  In this case, probably
   Enumerable#invoke[4].

   HTH!

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here but here is my problem:

I have a few images that I want to display with 50% opacity. 
I've
given these images the class name of alpha.

Example:
img src=../images/snapshots/thumbs/gma_x158.gif alt=Greg
   Martin
Auctions width=156 height=118 class=alpha /

Then, after the body tag I have:
script language=javascript type=text/javascript
$$('img.alpha').setOpacity(0.5);
/script

This does not work for me. It dose work however work if I give
   the
