[Prototype-core] Re: $ function
I know I'm a little late on this one, but as the person who originally filed the bug report, I thought I'd put in a word... Personally, I'm happy with leaving the $() function untouched. People who get caught out by it will now be able to see what the problem is and what the workarounds are, and even have code they can use as a wrapper if they want, thanks to the patch on Trac and the messages here that include code. Finally, an aside on not having control over the HTML source: I ran into this issue when using the radio_button_tag helper method in Rails, which inconveniently used the name of the input as the id - unhelpful, as all the radio buttons in a group have the same name in order to group them. This may be the sort of thing people are talking about when they say they don't have control over the HTML source - changing what your HTML generator outputs can be fiddly, if you've not looked at how it works. Fiddling with rails was actually fairly easy, but I've had to do similar things to another templating engine and that was a lot harder!

[Prototype-core] bracket notation
I've posted this question to ruby on rails, but figured people here
would be more likely to know the answer.
Using bracket notation in javascript seems to stop workiing when
prototype is included.
e.g. document.main[name].value. Is this a know issue? I know using $
('name').value is the best, but it would seem to be a bug for
prototype to break any existing javascript/dom object access methods.
Thanks.

[Prototype-core] Re: bracket notation
This is very very unlikely. I use bracket notation with and without
prototype on many scripts that work cross browser. Check which other
libraries you are including, and make sure it is not a problem or
missing attribute of the object you are working with.

[Prototype-core] Re: bracket notation
Interesting problem here and I don't think it's a prototype bug, but I
corrected the issue.
Here is what was happening if anyone's interested Here is a short
explanation:
Ajax Call generates some html into a div with this function inside:
GetNextField = function() {return('thenextfield');};
In an included .js file there is another function that goes like so:
function NextField()
{
FieldName = new String(GetNextField());
// then doing so breaks
$(FieldName).focus() or document.main[FieldName].focus();
}
It's the 'new String' that's breaking it, but prior to adding
prototype and dumping all this into a layer with ajax it worked just
fine
The fix:
FieldName = GetNextField();
Bracket and prototype notation both work.
I'm not sure why this worked before, it must be related to the html/
script being generated into the div from the ajax.updater rather than
just being on the page.
Definitely not a prototype problem.
