[Proto-Scripty] Function#defer is not actually what it's description trying to say.

2010-04-01 Thread mot
Hello all, I use prototype library for several years and like it very much. The question is about Function#defer. I used it in my work but never looked under the hood. The description says: A “deferred” function will not run immediately; rather, it will run as soon as the interpreter’s call stack

Hi, I looked at the Function#defer code, and there was nothing about stack. The stack in question is in the JavaScript interpreter, not Prototype. In fact, it even says ...the interpreter's call stack. :-) (It's probably more a queue than a stack.) JavaScript in web browsers is

+1 on Tobie's comment: Use smaller z-indexes. Scientific notation isn't hard to parse, if you want to handle it that way, but even that's problematic -- that number has been rounded (2.14748e9 == 2,147,480,000, which != 2,147,483,647), and so even comparing numeric values isn't going to work.

Hello! Thinking about events fired when a webpage is loaded, I would expect these events in exact this order: domReady body.onLoad window.onLoad Now, all I want to do, is to observe this events unobtrusivly using prototypejs. (with MooTools this is possible, but I need to use prototype for my

Okay … to make the question really simple: document.observe('dom:loaded', function() { alert('DOM.ready') // DOM is ready, body should be accessible Event.observe(body, 'load', function() { alert('body.onload'); }); }); Doesn’t work – the alert is not

Hi, Doesn’t work – the alert is not displayed. But why? Because by the time you've hooked the event, it's (probably) already been fired, so your handler never gets fired. (Are you the same person as the OP?) -- T.J. On Apr 1, 2:13 pm, Reimar reimarmob...@googlemail.com wrote: Okay … to make

I'm looking to take a set of divs and alphabetize them on a page, based on the values of a specific text node within each div. I could probably come up with a way to do this, but I'm wondering if someone has already done something similar that they could share? -- You received this message

Hi, It's not already been fired! Evidence: If I put an onload attribute directly into the html markup which alerts onLoad, the alert is seen AFTER the DOM.ready alert. That's evidence that the DOM0 event is fired at that point; I wouldn't guarantee that the two are fired at the same time.

Start with the Ajax.Request since that's likely to be the longest step. Then fade out the DIV, with a callback after the animation to set a doneFading flag to 1true`. The onComplete of the Ajax.Request should check if the doneFading flag is true, and if it is, update the innerHTML and fade it back

i would rather use the AjaxUpdater and have a wrapping function over it : function ajaxUpdate(id, url, params, callback) { new Ajax.Updater (id, url, { parameters: params, onComplete: callback }); } then use the afterFinish callbacks of effects with use of curry function methods:

I was programming a widget which people can embed on their sites. This widget contains an anchor http://www.mySite.com; on it. I set this anchor to the maximum integer value to prevent leechers from obscuring the anchor. Z-index is not the only check I do for obscuring, by the way. So I'm stuck
