Wow. I'm delighted to have provoked such an interesting and informative discussion. Somehow *just* falsy/truthy return values seem sloppy to me. It doesn't take much effort to prepend result with `!!` and document function's return value as that of type Boolean. I guess that's my

Hi Offspring2009, The problem is in the function moveItem, because you just do draggable.parentNode.removeChild(draggable); droparea.appendChild(draggable); And you did not take care of relative position of the element. When you drag the element to put it on the droppable container, in

[Proto-Scripty] forcing repaint DOM in IE6 and IE7?

I have loop that makes server-side Ajax calls on each iteration, and returns data. This could be 50 iterations, 500, 5000, whatever. Upon each iteration, I update that particular row with a server-side response (i.e. success or fail), and then update the total count processed (26 out of 432

Hi, By marking the ajax requests synchronous, you're basically bringing UI updates to a screeching halt. :-) Rather than doing a synchronous loop, how 'bout doing a chained asynchronous loop? E.g., suppose we have a list (perhaps an Element array from $$) and we want to do a call to the server

Hi, Apologies, copy-and-paste error, that first pseudo-code block should not have the call to loopIteration in the onException handler. Corrected pseudo-code for the synchronous loop: list.each(function(elm) { new Ajax.Request(some_url + '?id=' + elm.id, { asynchronous:

If you don't have a lot of Prototype code, and that's within your control...you should be able to convert your existing prototype code to jQuery syntax, then get rid of Prototype entirely. We looked at doing this when we started mixing jQuery into our code, but we had WAY too much Prototype to

I needed something like Draggable, but I needed to be able to resize it and to clamp it to a container. I found: http://blog.craz8.com/articles/2005/12/01/make-your-divs-resizeable but it was only 1/4th of the way there. So, I wrote a subclass of Draggable called Resizeable. It allows you to
