Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Scriptaculous and Prototype based Rich Text Editor

2006-01-02 Thread Nicolas Terray 
I've just tested with scriptaculous 1.5.1 and the editor does not
work. Here is the js error :

---8<--
Error: too much recursion

[Rails-spinoffs] Scriptaculous Autocompleter and new values

2006-01-02 Thread Johannes Beigel 

Hello.

I'm using the Autocompleter to display suggestions when the user enters 
text in an input field. Sometimes the user wants to add text that is not 
among the suggestions but that is the prefix of one of the suggested 
entries. What's the best way to accomplish this (the problem is, that 
the first matching entry is selected automatically and can't be 
deselected)? Maybe something like Firefox's URL suggestions would be 
fine, where only matching URLs are displayed, but the user still has to 
press DOWN to select one of the suggestions (and when pressing ESC the 
suggestions disappear, but the entered text is not deleted).


There's another thing I'd like to use, but am not sure if it's possible: 
As soon as the input field is active, a list of suggestions is displayed 
even if the user has not yet typed anything and the input field is empty 
(of course the suggestions cannot be based on prefix matching in this 
case, but I display the "best" suggestions for the corresponding item). 
Currently I use a slightly patched version of controls.js that uses a 
value of 0 for minChars, but this looks like a hack to me.


Maybe I am missing something and these things are already possible with 
the current version of Scriptaculous? If it is not, could something of 
this be a feasible enhancement request?


Regards,
jojo.

[Rails-spinoffs] mouse position without event

2006-01-02 Thread Tarek Ziadé 
Hello,

Is it possible somehow to get mouse coordinates without using the event mechanism ?
I need to get the current mouse position to initialize some div position, but not at page load
