[Rails-spinoffs] reloading fragments of pages
Hello,
I have a treeview, that works with scriptaculous in order to load the nodes dynamically.
I also have in the main part of the page, a table with the list of elements.
The lists of elements can be drag-dropped on the treeview in order to move them around
(they are also draggable on other parts of the page)
I need though, to refresh the treeview to reflect changes when a folder was moved (the branches changes)
so i call the server to get a fragment of HTML (I know it could have been a fragment of XML, processed
on client side but in my use case, it's a rendered HTML piece)
This sent piece contains _javascript_ as well, in order to make the dynamic node still
working.
When the dom is reloaded, the drag/drop features reloads Droppable.drops elements.
The new treeview html fragment IS the treeview that would be displayed on the
page if the user would hit F5 after the drag.
Everything work fine, except that the droppable areas of the freshly updated treeview
are not enabled anymore. They do work on other droppable parts.
here's the code that reload the treeview:
var CPSPortletRefresher = Class.create();
CPSPortletRefresher.prototype = {
initialize: function() {
},
refreshPortletCompleted: function(originalRequest) {
// getting new positions from the server
result = originalRequest.responseText;
if (result!='') {
$(this.last_portlet_id).innerHTML = result;
var newdiv = document.createElement("div");
newdiv.innerHTML = result;
newdiv.id = this.last_portlet_id;
olddiv = $(this.last_portlet_id);
parent = olddiv.parentNode;
olddiv.parentNode.replaceChild(newdiv, olddiv);
}
},
refreshPortlet: function(portlet_id) {
var params = 'portlet_id=' + portlet_id;
url = "" style="color: rgb(221, 0, 0);">'viewPortlet';
var refreshPortletCompletedBn = this.refreshPortletCompleted.bind(this);
var options = {parameters: params, onComplete: refreshPortletCompletedBn};
this.last_portlet_id = portlet_id;
var sender = new Ajax.Request(url, options);
},
}
var portlet_refresher = new CPSPortletRefresher();
So two question:
1/ is the innerHTML reliable for this kind of job ?
2/ Do I miss something ? :)
Thanks !

I think this statement is the heart of your problem. There's nothing
active about scriptaculous (where you're getting the
Draggables/Droppables from) that would check for a DOM "reload" (I'm
not sure what that is? any change, perhaps?); I'm not even sure that
kind of information is available to JavaScript.
I don't know much about scriptaculous, so don't take this as the final
answer, but the magic that makes Draggables/Droppables work are the
events that are attached to each element that you make
Draggable/Droppable. When you use .innerHTML on those elements'
parent, you're effectively destroying the existing elements (and their
event associations) and creating what might look like identical
elements, but they're not; they don't have the events unless you
programatically re-initialize the Draggables/Droppables.

Isn't most of this code redundant? You only need to use innerHTML on
the existing div, or create a new div and replace the old one. Either
one achieves the same DOM structure in the end. You also never use
'parent' anywhere.

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] reloading fragments of pages
Todd is exactly right. What's also important to realize about this, is that
when your DOM elements are destroyed by the update to innerHTML, any event
handlers that were tied to them (onclick, etc..), are in danger of staying
around in memory (especially if the handlers are closures which hold references
to the DOM elements, called a circular reference). These memory leaks can be
very detrimental to your application if they go unchecked.
Think of the control you're updating (the treeview) as a miniature page. Every
time it's refreshed (via innerHTML), you need to re-setup all of it's client
behaviors (which is what you're seeing now). But you also should take care to
clean up all of it's resources before each update. You can do this by adding a
dispose() method on your objects that detaches DOM event handlers, unregisters
draggables and droppable... etc (basically any memory that the DOM elements
which will be refreshed have a hold of needs to be released), and making sure
dispose() gets called before the refresh happens.

yes that's what i am doind indeed,
i should've been clearer:

this is part of my problem: if i do a direct innerHTML
of the code, the _javascript_ that's inside of this fragment is not "effective"
creating a new node solves this issue.
You also never use'parent' anywhere.

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] reloading fragments of pages
No it's something you would have to write. Protoype's unloadCache() happens on page unload... we're talking here about a single control being updated (not the whole page). So in a long-running AJAX application, the page itself may never get refreshed, there prototype would never call unloadCache(). This cleanup stuff really needs to be at an atomic per control level to support designing a scalable AJAX application. I've even gone as far as to create a garbage collector to handle this cleanup on a background process. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Maninder, Singh Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 9:25 AM To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: RE: [Rails-spinoffs] reloading fragments of pages Ryan, Not related to this post, but you bring up a good point here.

Looking at the source code you could do
getELementsByClassName("input_.+");, although it's undocumented
behaviour so it might mysteriously break after a prototype upgrade one
day. I know the current method (of using a regexp) is one of the slowest
ways of doing it.

That shouldn't be too intensive. See prototype.js's defnition for
getElementsByClassName and hack your own. What attribute would this be
useful for? Getting all text inputs? I would just getElementsByTagName
and do a quick loop.

Re: [Rails-spinoffs] question about getElementsByClassName
Louis,
In this senario, I usually add a class to the set of elements I'm
interested in getting back to later on by doing a
Element.addClassName() and then doing a getElementsByClassName() later
on. You can remove the 'dummy' class later if you need to:
Element.removeClassName()
Hope this helps.

Cam

When you call a function, that function is executed (by default) in
the global context. In client-side development, the global context is
the 'window' object, not the 'document' object. Either redefine your
function as window.getInputsByAttribute (or, don't use an object
qualifier at all; it'll default to 'window') or call it as
document.getInputsByAttribute, which is where you're defining it.
When you access 'document', it's really giving you 'window.document',
so your function is really 'window.document.getInputsByAttribute'.
There's an extra layer you're not accounting for.

[Rails-spinoffs] suggestion $c()
i think it would be a good idea to map a shortcut to getElementsByClassName like the much loved $(). i think $c() seems applicable. ___ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
Re: [Rails-spinoffs] suggestion $c()
You can use the new $$ with '.'
example $$('.className') returns an array of all elements with the class name 'className'On 2/23/06, Louis Walch <

[Rails-spinoffs] Adding a new Sortable
Perhaps this is elementary, but I'm having trouble finding something in the documentation. I'm attempting to create a page with a form for new data submission and below it a list (a Sortable) of the various records. I'm unsure how to make the form so that it will automatically create a new element to the Sortable with the data that gets Ajaxed back from the server. Is there a Sortable.add method or something like that?visual description (yay, pictures!): <-- how do I get a new record to show up here? row1row2make sortableThanks everybody, - Danger ___ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-spinoffs
