I think the site needs an integrated contribution system for Prototype
Extensions, better than jQuery's(http://plugins.jquery.com/). 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

2010-04-08 Thread chrysanthe m
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.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: enumerate hash

2010-04-08 Thread Alex Wallace
Ah, I see. You can handle this using Enumerable's invoke. This code should
make it clear:

a = new Hash({ x : "foo", y : "bar" });
b = new Hash({ x : "zam", y : "moof" });
a.get("x");
  "foo"
b.get("x");
  "zam"
[a,b].invoke("get","x");
  ["foo", "zam"]
[a,b].invoke("unset","x")
  ["foo", "zam"]
a.get("x")
  (undefined)

Re: [Proto-Scripty] enumerate hash

2010-04-08 Thread Alex Wallace
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.

Best,
Alex

[Proto-Scripty] Checkbox toggle fails while preventing a row onclick

2010-04-08 Thread ben helgeson
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.

And my answer: I really like having something owned by the community,
but I don't see much point if there's no itch to scratch. People are
more likely to find content on the main site than in an unofficial
wiki somewhere. As long as contributing to the site is _easy_, well-

team, community, new adopters of Prototype) better served migrating

If it becomes easy to contribute to the official page then yes, that's

[Proto-Scripty] The Unofficial Wiki

2010-04-08 Thread T.J. Crowder
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,

Ha!

Seems that [1] and [2] have it covered.


OOI, the fireEvent code at the bottom of [1] (Post #9 by Rick),
(cleaned up the quotes) ...

function fireEvent(element,event){
  if(document.createEvent){
// dispatch for firefox + others
var evt = document.createEvent('HTMLEvents');
evt.initEvent(event, true, true ); // event type,bubbling,cancelable
return !element.dispatchEvent(evt);
  } else {
// dispatch for IE
var evt = document.createEventObject();
return element.fireEvent('on' + event,evt)
  }
}

looks good and useful.

Is there a way to get this tested across a wide range of
browsers/os/etc.? Does Prototype have a test farm?

Richard.

[Proto-Scripty] Firing a click event.

2010-04-08 Thread Richard Quadling
Hi.

Brain has gone to sleep.

I've got a form where I'd like to be able to allow some controls to be
disabled by a checkbox.

Working code ...


function handleHideClick(ev)
{
hideClick(ev.element());
}

function hideClick(el)
{
el.up('tr').select('input[type=text]')
.each
(
function(el2)
{
el2.disabled = el.checked;
}
);
}

document.observe('dom:loaded', function(ev_dom_loaded)
{
$$('.dtl_Blank input[type=checkbox]').each(function (el)
{
hideClick($(el).observe('click', handleHideClick));
});
});


Is there a way to simplify this?

I initially thought that Element.fire() would help, but that is for
custom events only.

Essentially, whilst setting the click handler, I want to be able to
call the handler also.

Regards,

Richard.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] script.aculo.us autocomplete on dynamically added form field?

Hi,
You should use full dom creation for your new inputs instead of innerHTML,
and use prototype for manipulating Events and DOM

[Proto-Scripty] Effect.Morph applied to background image

2010-04-08 Thread Jinsa
Hi all!

Actually I'm working on a "background auto-morph" in order to make a
moving background using effect.morph. So, basically I set up one bg
and each x-time it will change to another bg. 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?

Thanks,

JF.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Checkbox toggle fails while preventing a row onclick

2010-04-08 Thread T.J. Crowder
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

2010-04-08 Thread Christophe Decaux

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. How do I do this?

[Proto-Scripty] Dragging between fixed and non-fixed Sortables (position offset bugs)

2010-04-08 Thread T.J. Crowder
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,
