Sorry, I didn't even think of the Core part of the name till now, I
thought it was just general Prototype

I moved it to the Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs group

Anyway,
Thanks you guys!

Hi guys,

Don't want to sound rude, but this thread doesn't belong in Prototype
core.

Could you kindly pursue in the spinoffs mailing list (http://
groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-spinoffs?lnk=li&hl=en) ?

Thanks and best regards,

[Prototype-core] Re: Ajax help

2007-03-18 Thread andymadonna

Hi Gareth,

The create_year function creates all the dates for that year on the
timeline. I have it on my live site to test the code:
http://the60s.andrewmadonna.com/timeline.html

Here is the actual function:

   function create_year(transport) {
   alert("I am being executed!");
   var timeline_content = document.createElement("div");
   timeline_content.setAttribute("id","timeline_content");
   var timeline = document.createElement("div");
   timeline.setAttribute("id","timeline");
   var line = document.createElement("div");
   line.setAttribute("id","line");
   var xmlDoc = transport.responseXML.documentElement;
   var loop_length = xmlDoc.getElementByTagName("date").length;
   var isBottom = false;
   for (var i=0;i>");
   next_arrow.appendChild(next_arrow_text);
   timeline_content.appendChild(next_arrow);

   var previous_arrow = document.createElement("div");
   previous_arrow.setAttribute("id","previous");
   previous_arrow.setAttribute("class","arrows");
 
previous_arrow.setAttribute("onclick","slide_timeline_previous();");
   var previous_arrow_text = document.createTextNode("<<");
   previous_arrow.appendChild(previous_arrow_text);
   timeline_content.appendChild(previous_arrow);

   document.body.appendChild(timeline_content);
   $('timeline').setStyle({
   width: 8 * loop_length + 'em'
   });

   }

[Prototype-core] Re: Ajax help

2007-03-18 Thread andymadonna

Thanks Tom,

I modified it to what you said. But now it doesn't create the loader,
and I know its executing the create_year function because I put in an
alert to test it but it doesn't perform anything past that.

Modified:
   new Ajax.Request('timeline_backend.php', {
   method: 'get',
   parameters: {action: 'year', year: request_year},
   onCreate: create_loader,
   onFailure: function () {alert("Oops!");},
   onSuccess: create_year
   });

You are not passing function references to the callbacks as you  
perhaps intend. You are instead passing the results of functions.

Modify these lines:
onCreate: create_loader, // No parenthesis
onFailure: function () {alert("Oops!");}, // anonymous function
onSuccess: create_year  // Again, use a function reference, not a  
function result
