It would be great if the extensions and the patch submission system shared a contribution system. Some want something easier than learning git, rake, lighthouse, etc., in order to contribute; maybe a web front-end to whichever code is in place, to lower the barrier to contributing. User generated code and examples could be posted & maintained right on the site with (Prototype Friendly) syntax highlighting. Rico 2.0 has lots of goodies[1], so does Scriptaculous, it would be awesome to sync all these projects up, make the components modular with clear a dependance scheme, especially when considering the future of the library.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: enumerate hash
Hi Alex Thanks, but a newbie here so that was "drinking at a firehose". Let me parse it to better understand. First can you really invoke on two separate enumerable objects with that [n,n1,n2] syntax? That is tremendous. My problem is I need to first check the presence of a key before I unset it b/c I found out unset-ing a non-existent key seems to zero the struct; also it is more courteous, grin. So how would I construct the and parameterize the annonymous function to do the check and if present "do it to itself". Ideally I would like to pass in the enumerable, call the function and return the modified(or not) enumerable in the function's return. On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 4:41 PM, Alex Wallace wrote: > Ah, I see.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: enumerate hash

Re: [Proto-Scripty] enumerate hash
Your message was truncated, but the method you are looking for is `unset`. http://api.prototypejs.org/language/hash/prototype/unset/ Since the function is using `delete this._object[key]` nothing will occur if you feed it a value that actually does not exist in the hash object.

[Proto-Scripty] Checkbox toggle fails while preventing a row onclick
Thanks TJ, That worked perfectly. Many thanks! Ben On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 2:41 AM, T.J. Crowder wrote: Hi, Without code it's kind of hard to tell what's going wrong, but it *sounds* like you have handlers on both the checkbox's click event and the row's click event, and that you're calling Event.stop from within the checkbox's click event to (try to) prevent the row click from firing. But of course that cancels the event, including the checking of the checkbox. This is one of the places where you don't want to *stop* the event, you just want to prevent it from propagating (bubbling) up the DOM to ancestors of the element on which it occurred. So instead of calling #stop, call #stopPropagation[1], which does exactly that. (Prototype nicely provides this for you on browsers that don't support it natively.) So that's the minimal-impact way to fix it (I think, inferring from your question). There's another way which may have other benefits for you, but it's a larger change to what I infer is your current structure: Event delegation. Rather than watching every row and every checkbox in the table for clicks, just watch for clicks on the table, since clicks bubble. In your table click handler, if you're only interested in clicks on rows or checkboxes, do this: var element; element = event.findElement('tr, input[type=checkbox]'); if (!element) { /* ...click wasn't in a tr or checkbox; perhaps in the table margin... */ else if (element.tagName == 'INPUT') { /* ...handle click on checkbox; perhaps you just ignore it... */ } else { /* ...handle click on row... */ } Event#findElement takes a CSS selector and sees if it matches the element on which the click actually occurred; if not, it goes and check the element's parent element for a match, etc. The upshot is that you get the lowest matching element (the one closest to the actual click). One of the big advantages of event delegation is that you can happily add rows to the table and remove rows without worrying about handlers; you have just the one handler on the table. That's very useful for dynamic stuff. The cost is a small bit of extra complexity in the actual handler.

People are more likely to find content on the main site than in an unofficial wiki somewhere.

If it becomes easy to contribute to the official page then yes, that's the ideal answer as it's easier to find. If it wasn't for this group, I wouldn't have known about your wiki.

[Proto-Scripty] The Unofficial Wiki
Hi folks, As many of you know, we've had an unofficial Prototype & script.aculo.us wiki for about 18 months: http://proto-scripty.wikidot.com/ I have a question for the community, but first a preamble. Preamble: In the last year (more, actually), there's been precisely one edit by someone other than me. :-) (Doug Reeder added an on0 handler to the bulletproof ajax page.) I wrote the vast majority of the articles and have been very nearly the only person maintaining them, not that there's been a lot to do on that front. (Don't get the impression I mind; I don't.) This suggests to me that - 1. We don't need a wiki or 2. We do, but it's too hard to contribute to that one because you have to request access and wait for it to be granted As a side note: Tobie and the core team are working on moving the main Prototype website to GitHub (don't worry, the URL doesn't change) from the current CMS it's on (Mephisto), and Tobie says that it will be a lot easier for people to contribute official content to the website once that's done. Question: Do we need a wiki with user-generated content? Or should we just move all of the relevant content to the Prototype website and make sure the process for contributing to the website is well-publicized, easy, and efficient? Thanks, -- T.J.

So what I have coded: // first, my init function in order to set the background, I make it in JS because I do not want to have a CSS conflict ;) function init() { $('top_frame').setStyle( { background:'transparent url(top_frame.jpg) no-repeat center top', width: '1000px', height: '275px' }); } // then the "change it" functionality :) function change() { $('top_frame').morph('background: url(images/top_frame2.jpg) no- repeat center top; width:1600px;'); alert('change done'); } // execute it after the DOM loaded function bindage() { init(); alert('init done, lets change it once!'); change(); } Event.observe(window, 'load', bindage); And I have one div named "top_frame" in my HTML. You can see the example here: http://jinsa.fr/morphbg/test.html Ok ok, so that worked in my head but don't make it in the real world (as real that can be the Internet ^^). The effect.morph is launched because we can see the width change but it do not switch to the other bgimage :/ Do you have an idea how to make it work?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Checkbox toggle fails while preventing a row onclick
Hi, Without code it's kind of hard to tell what's going wrong, but it *sounds* like you have handlers on both the checkbox's click event and the row's click event, and that you're calling Event.stop from within the checkbox's click event to (try to) prevent the row click from firing. But of course that cancels the event, including the checking of the checkbox. This is one of the places where you don't want to *stop* the event, you just want to prevent it from propagating (bubbling) up the DOM to ancestors of the element on which it occurred. So instead of calling #stop, call #stopPropagation[1], which does exactly that. (Prototype nicely provides this for you on browsers that don't support it natively.) So that's the minimal-impact way to fix it (I think, inferring from your question). There's another way which may have other benefits for you, but it's a larger change to what I infer is your current structure: Event delegation. Rather than watching every row and every checkbox in the table for clicks, just watch for clicks on the table, since clicks bubble. In your table click handler, if you're only interested in clicks on rows or checkboxes, do this: var element; element = event.findElement('tr, input[type=checkbox]'); if (!element) { /* ...click wasn't in a tr or checkbox; perhaps in the table margin... */ else if (element.tagName == 'INPUT') { /* ...handle click on checkbox; perhaps you just ignore it... */ } else { /* ...handle click on row... */ } Event#findElement takes a CSS selector and sees if it matches the element on which the click actually occurred; if not, it goes and check the element's parent element for a match, etc. The upshot is that you get the lowest matching element (the one closest to the actual click). One of the big advantages of event delegation is that you can happily add rows to the table and remove rows without worrying about handlers; you have just the one handler on the table. That's very useful for dynamic stuff. The cost is a small bit of extra complexity in the actual handler.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] floating div
You have to learn about position:absolute css style. It will solve your issue. Le 7 avr. 2010 à 20:37, Martín Marqués a écrit : OK, I know this isn't strictly prototype, but I'll through it here. I have a div with id divsubmit which has an animated gif used when prototype is waiting for a response. So I use $('divsubmit').show() in onLoading: and $('divsubmit').hide in onComplete. The thing is that I have this div on the top of the page and everytime I .show() it, all the objects below it go down to make the div fit. I want the div to show up on top of the other objects.

[Proto-Scripty] Dragging between fixed and non-fixed Sortables (position offset bugs)
Hi Hariz, You seem to have replied in the thread "Dragging between fixed and non- fixed Sortables (position offset bugs)" but with a completely new topic (and new title). My guess is that you're writing via an email client and hit "reply" on a message from the other thread and just cleared out the message area of the new email and changed the title; that doesn't work, because there's a thread ID in the email headers. (Easy mistake to make! :-) ) Please be sure when mailing the list (or creating a message in GGroups) on a completely new topic *not* to reply within an existing thread (by using "new email" rather than "reply" or whatever); it mixes the two topics together. I've changed the thread title back. Thanks, -- T.J.
