I looked at the code and it seems that readAttribute has some extra plumbing for IE but other than that it works basically as you would expect. Yes, but my question was, is it safe for me to be doing x.id, x.style ? Or is it recommended to use readAttribute to get those values? -patrick --

Hi, You can file documentation tickets here: https://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/42103/home I'm a bit surprised to find that `Selector` is documented. I'd probably stick to the higher-level interfaces -- `$$`, `Element#select`, `Element#down`, etc. -- T.J. Crowder Independent Software

Yes, but my question was, is it safe for me to be doing x.id, x.style ? For *reflected* attributes like `id` and `className`, and for `style` which isn't really an attribute (although its values are drawn from an attribute, they're parsed), yes. Those are consistent cross-browser. (With regard

Hey! Mmmhhh... Currently I am thinking of how you made your script in order to make a field editable, particularly the way you use element.observe. The information you found is important but if you make your script driving Prototype.js only when needed, logically, it shouldn't be any problem.

[Proto-Scripty] what is the deal with inputs and page refreshing?

2010-05-20 Thread patrick
I am having a hell of a time solving a problem in my application due to the fact that page reloads do not seem to set input values properly... I don't understand this at all, and am hoping someone here can provide some insight and hopefully a solution. If I have static html that does: input

This is due to how browsers will save form state between page refreshes. If you want to reset form values between refreshes, manually set the value on page load with javascript in a dom:loaded block But if it's just a hidden input you're worried about... the chances of somebody fiddling with the

Hi, It's best to actually paste in the code you're having trouble with; for obvious reasons, a lot of people won't follow links, and in any case, it's just a few lines of code. The test.js code is: * * * * Event.observe(window, 'load', function() { $('zarks').observe('click', function(e) {
