[Proto-Scripty] Re: class.create question

Hi, Off-the-cuff, I'd probably use two binds and one local (this is totally off-the-cuff, and apologies if I've messed something up. Also, we have slightly different coding styles and while I tried to stick to what I inferred from what I saw, it's probably ended up a mish-mash):

Hi, I see, thanks for the explanation. Boy, I sure do hate IE. I presume that IE8 does do prototypes, which is why it worked there? I don't think I knew that. But apparently so: http://pastie.org/913799 Speaking of IE8, you seem to be the/a resident guru... Far from it. :-) ...so I don't

Hi, You can reference a property of an object using a string key and square brackets, so this: var itemsToShow = myOptions. + sel; should be: var itemsToShow = myOptions[sel]; ...assuming that `sel` contains a string like myOptions_group1, as it appears to from the if/else structure

Sorry, meant to say: I also didn't see anything wrong with using a variable to refer to `this` and not using #bind. If you do that, though, I'd recommend using the same variable name every time you do this, throughout all of your classes. The one I use is `self` because lots of people seem to use

I have run across a bug which is really hindering the usage and functionality of my application... I am hoping that someone here can offer a trick to get around it (without having to change my design). I've simplified the problem by extracting the stuff into it's own html file with minimal css

According to the wiki: http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/effect-morph ...morph only works on length and color based attributes, so it won't switch the background image for you. Why don't you just use setStyle on the containing element and then use morph to change the size? Cheers,

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Sound.play() doesn't seem to work in ie8

2010-04-11 Thread Junkshops
Well, the problem seems to be that sound.js detects IE and then uses the bgsound tag to play music - but IE8 doesn't support bgsound. Hence the problem. I'll see if I can hack it so it uses a plugin instead like all the other browsers; if I can get it to work I'll post it here. On Apr 10, 8:30

Hey Junkshops :) First I would thank you for your answer. The setStyle may solve the problem linked to the background image (what a shame that morph don't work with bgimage :/) but the problem is that I won't get the morph effect between the bakground change which is what I am searching for. I'm

That is all i can think of. Quite heavy handed to have such a transition, but doable. Possibly always have a clone behind the transitioning element and just morph the opacity of the one on top anytime you want to change the background. Btw, the reason morph only effects what it does is that the

2010-04-11 Thread Junkshops
If you're looking for a real morph effect, where one image slowly flows and changes into the next, there's no way scriptaculous or prototype could do that. Generally speaking, as I understand it, if you couldn't do the animation yourself by changing css/style tags and reloading over and over,

In order to morph between two images, you need to have stacked both of them, then fade the front one out. That gets you a perfect cross-fade between the images. So to get behind your background image, if it's on a DIV, just clone a div behind the background and fade out the background. I
