I'm not sure if you are under a misapprehension.
The value of a 'NAME' property in HTML is a CDATA - a string of text.
It has no structure.
You are free to call an input "opt[0][]" but that is a text string,
not any kind of an array in any language.
(PHP kindly treats inputs with [] in their names specially, but that
is the server-side program, not anything to do with the page or
javascript: I don't know whether any other server-side languages do
this).
So if you want to use prototype (or any other javascript) to
manipulate these names, you must treat them as text: match them as
text, perhaps even 'eval' them. But they are not arrays in any way.
As Matt says, the nearest you can get to this in Prototype is by using
the =~ match in a CSS selector, but that will not necessarily do what
you need. Otherwise you will have to do basic Javascript text
matching, or use the suggestions others have made.
(It may be that you already understand the point I am making, in which
case, my apologies).

startDrag uses Node.cloneNode, which does not know anything about 'id'
properties or their uniqueness.
I think that HTMLElement ought to have its own.cloneNode method,
overriding Node.cloneNode and unsetting the 'id' property, because
otherwise it *usually* generates invalid HTML; but unfortunately there
is no override. (I would say this is a bug in the DOM Level 2 HTML
spec, but I guess you can argue that the element is not invalid, just
inserting it in the same document is invalid - and again you do that
by methods of Node not of HTMLElement.)
Given this, I would say it is a bug in startDrag that it inserts a
probably illegal element .
I can't think of a way round this in your code, but you could hack
dragdrop.js thus (untested)
startDrag: function(event) {
this.dragging = true;
if(!this.delta)
this.delta = this.currentDelta();
if(this.options.zindex) {
this.originalZ = parseInt(Element.getStyle(this.element,'z-
index') || 0);
this.element.style.zIndex = this.options.zindex;
}
if(this.options.ghosting) {
this._clone = this.element.cloneNode(true);
// Add this line:
this._clone.id = this.element.id + '_ghost';
// or this one:
this._clone.id.addClassName('ghost')
//
this.element._originallyAbsolute = (this.element.getStyle
('position') == 'absolute');
if (!this.element._originallyAbsolute)
Position.absolutize(this.element);
this.element.parentNode.insertBefore(this._clone, this.element);
}
etc.
Then if you use the first method, you can use $(this.widgetToolId
+'_ghost') to refer to the ghost. In the second case, use $$('.ghost')
[0]/
Further thoughts on cloneNode etc (not directly relevant to the
question):
An Element.cloneNode (overriding Node.cloneNode) could remove the id:
this would always be legal, and very often necessary for legality - it
is unlikely that you will clone a node but not insert it in the
document. A more helpful alternative would be to let Element.cloneNode
to take an optional 'id' argument, which it would substitute for the
original id in the clone.
To catch it at the point at which the illegality is committed, you
would need to override Note.insertBefore etc with Element.insertBefore
etc. But at this stage the method has no idea that it is a clone it is
adding, so the only check it can make is to do a
document.getElementById to see if the id already exists - which might
be expensive.
On the other hand, there is a case for saying that
Element.insertBefore *should* make this check anyway, irrespective of
whether node being added is a clone or not. Of course that would
break an awful lot of websites ... :-)

Well done. The trouble is, that it depends on undocumented browser
behaviour - there is no guarantee that $(objectid) will pick up the
original.

This is a Prototype/Scriptaculous group, not a Rails one. There might
be people here who read Rails, but you will probably get more success
if you post the Javascript which is actually received by the browser,
rather than the Rails source.

This is ths problem. Inside the function definition, there is a new
scope, and 'this' will not have been assigned (because callbacks don't
get called as methods).
Either you need to #bind your onSuccess function, or I would just use
another variable:
getContent: function()
{
var that = this;
onSuccess: function(req)
{
that.content = req.responseJSON;
...

You are tabbing to a different field after clicking, yes?
The definition of 'onChange' in the HTML spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/

occurs when a control loses the input focus and its value has been
modified since gaining focus".

After discussion with somebody from W3C I now understand that the section I was quoting is informative not normative. I do think that it is misleading however (and I'm sure I discovered this apparent limitation when something - I thought it was firefox - threw out a construct like ).

Same as Mojito's question above:
Effect.Scale is a 'core Effect' and invoked using "new Effect.Scale"
Effect.Fade is a 'combination Effect' and invokde usinjg "Effect.Fade"
Like TJ, I am not familiar with effects, so I don't know why there is
this difference.
Unfortunately the documentation page doesn't give any examples of
using Effect.multiple with core effects. This may be a bug, or you may
need a different syntax. My guess is that you would have to wrap the
constructor in an anonymous function:
Effect.multiple(tab, function(e) {new Effect.Scale(e)});
but I may be way off beam here.

CGI has no concept of an array, even in POST. You either need to
serialise the array, or generate multiple instances of
"involved=whatever".
PHP has a nifty wrinkle whereby if a control in your page has a name
ending in '[]' then it will give you back an array.
BUT, where checkboxes are involved, I don't think an array is useful,
because the wonderful design of HTML returns absolutely nothing for an
unchecked box, so if you simply try to pass all the checkboxes back to
your CGI program you will get only the checked ones with no indication
of which boxes on the page they were.

In that case, update is the right tool, and I can't see anything wrong
with your initial syntax. Could the error be somewhere else? Or might
you have a stray comma at the end of your object ("h.update
({ input.id: input.getValue(), });")? (IE objects to that, rightly,
but Firefox is more forgiving).

If you can work out what should happen from the CSS spec [1] you're a
better man than I am. But I note that the 'visual formatting model'
distinguishes inline from block elements, so it is not necessarily to
be expected that they would be positioned identically.

It appears that it reverts irrespective of whether the drop succeeded or not. What I have done is to hide the dragged element when the drag succeeds, so that the revert is not visible. In my case, the dropsite is then regenerated in Ajax, so there is a brief moment when the element has disappeared, and then it appears again in its new home.

Do you mean that *instead* of doing an HTML submit (which always does
a GET or POST fetch of the whole page) you want to do an Ajax
operation which only refereshes the div?
In that case, don't use a 'submit' input at all: use a button (you can
call it 'submit' if you like) and observe it with a 'click'.
If you are concerned about getting all the inputs from from form, see
Form.serialize().
> The other question I have is how to attach an observer to a

>
Either include some Javascript in the HTML you send from the Ajax
request, to set up an event handler (use Element.observe() rather than
the HTML 'onClick' property - in this case you will need to set
'evalScripts: true' in your Ajax.Updater options
Or, the better solution is to attache a handler to an element which
doesn't change (your probably) and delegate handling.
If you say
$('mydiv').observe('click', function(ev) {
var input = ev.findElement('input');
if (input) ...
then any pick on your div, irrespective of how many times its contents
have changed, will call that function (which I've written inline, but
could be a named function), which will check whether the pick was
actually inside an element - any element - and if so
take action.

What's a JSON file? JSON is a text representation of data which is pretty well identical to Javascript's own notation, so you can parse it with eval().

Probably not, without more information.
If you asked me to guess, I would guess that you are passing a non-
existent function to 'observe'.
If you asked me to guess further, I would guess that you might be
writing a function call instead of a function,
so:
myelement.observe('click', myFunction);
sets 'myFunction' as the click handler for myelement, but
myelement.observe('click', myFunction()); //!!Almost always wrong!!
calls myFunction and sets the result (which is almost certainly not a
function) as the handler.
But I may be in completely the wrong area, since you haven't told us
anything about what you are doing.

Generally, the recommendation is not to use the old 'onClick=' method
of event handling: I don't know how it compares for performance, but
it's certainly less flexible.
You can simplify your 2) slightly:
$$(".item").invoke('observe', 'click', doIt);
A third alternative is to use delegation:
$(document).observe('click', doIt);
and then make doIt determine what was clicked:
function doIt(e) {
var item = e.findElement('.item');
...
}
This is particularly good if you are going to be adding items
dynamically when the page has already been loaded.

Yes, clearly; if the processing is different for different element
then a delegation model requires you to determine which element you
are processing and choose your processing accordingly.
If each item is distinct, give them all an HTML 'id', and just use
that:
function doIt(e) {
var element = e.findElement('.item');
var id = element.id;
If there are classes of them, it's easiest to use CSS classes:
...
function doIt(e) {
var element = e.findElement('.item');
var class_1 = element.hasClassName('click_class_1');
or more generally
function doIt(e) {
var element = e.findElement('.item');
if (var matches = element.className.match(/click_class_(\n+)/) {
var clickclass = matches[1]);

You're right - in fact, my example was wrong. I believed that
Event.findElement took a CSS selector, but it actually takes a
tagname, so e.findElement('.item') won't work.
Instead I would use
var element = e.element().up('.item').
which I think is easier than your suggestion.

This is a Prototype/Scriptaculous group, and you are asking about
something a server-side language (Ruby I guess?) which I don't know
anything about.
But what you pass in the 'parameters' comes in as the "search" part of
the URL (i.e. the bit after the ?). That is available to your server
program in the same way as the 'search' from any other URL.

I'm not clear what you are asking.
The _reason_ is as discussed in the previous thread: DOM Level 2 does
not guarantee the order of events, and it is implicit in the thread
that Prototype does not add anything to that.
Or are you requesting an enhancement to Prototype?

I don't know if this is relevant to the problem, but you don't need to
use 'setAttribute' for built-in attributes of HTML element:
this.content.id = this._name + "_content";
avoids an unnecessary function call.
For the DOM attribute 'class', the Javascript binding requires you to
use 'className', because 'class' is a reserved word in Javascript:
this.content.class = "fullContent";
(or, using a Prototype method)
this.content.addClassName('fullContent');
This is not quite the same, because if you already have a class on the
element, this will add the new class, whereas the simple assignment
will replace it. But since you have just created the element, there is
no difference.

IE objects (correctly) to your using the Javascript reserved word
'class' as an object key: Firefox is more lax and lets it through.
'id' will work without quotes.

I don't know. Your example seems to match that in the Prototype
documentation. I would try it with 'className' instead of 'class' and
see whether this works.

As far as I know, you cannot use Ajax.Updater for this: you need to
use Ajax.Request and do the updating yourself.
What I have done in this case is to return a JSON object of the form:
{
idoffirstdiv : htmltogoinfirstdiv,
idofseconddiv : htmltogoinseconddiv
}
and then made my onSuccess function something like
var results = $H(response.getJSON());
results.each(function(pair) {
$(pair.key).innerHtml = pair.value;
});

As far as Javascript is concerned "add_article_link_url_list[2][link]" and "add_article_link_desc_list[2][url]" are just two names which happen to coincide except in a few characters. It is I believe only PHP which treats [ ] in input names specially and forms them into arrays.

The only way a session in your browser can access ANY resource from the server is by firing off a new request - either a full page request, or an Ajax request. You probably want Ajax.Request (or Ajax.Updater if you're going to display the file in your page); and you need to write a server script which will respond to the Ajax request and send the file contents.

Not automatically, as you are talking about behaviour that changes between one drag and the next. But it's not too hard to program it. What I would do is have a function which examines the drop area and adds/removes a class 'can- accept' depending on whether it is full or not. Then set the 'accept' property in your Droppables call to 'can- accept'. You will presumably set the 'can-accept' class appropriately when you first generate the page (or call the function to update it when you have loaded the page), and call the function at the end of every 'onDrop'.

This kind of error means that you are passing an element into one of
the Scriptaculous functions as null. This might be a simple error in
your programming but it is often because you are passing an element
which does not yet exist (perhaps because you have done some innerHTML
and not given the DOM time to operate.
Without more of your code, it's impossible to tell: but please don't
post a large amount: look at where the element values come from that
you are passing into Dragdrop functions.

You _could_ set an observer on each span, but it's _much_ better to
set one on #jobs and delegate.
Something like (off the top of my head, so I'm sure it's not quite
right, but it should give you the idea.)
$('jobs').observe('click', function (e) {
var span = e.findElement('span');
if (span) span.show();
});
If there are other spans than these, you could put a class on them and
add it to the 'findElement' argument.

This is puzzling, as AFAIK "mouseleave" is implemented _only_ on IE.

Are you sure you don't mean "mouseout", which is implemented on all
browsers, but bubbles, which means that if you set it on the ul it
will fire whenever you leave the ul _or one of its li's_?

You haven't said how the first option is selected (whether by the
user, or by the initial Ajax load); but I think the problem might be
that with some browsers if you populate a by Javascript it is
not enough to have one or more of the s 'selected': you need
to tell the explicitly what is selected.

You might be sending by POST, but you are creating a query string as
used in a GET, so you would need to uri_encode.
If you are using POST, you don't need build a string like that anyway.
As others have suggested, giving Ajax.Request an object is a better
solution.

You cannot assign to an array (the second dimension) which doesn't yet exist. You need: erreur: []; ...

This would be a good time to use a named function rather than an
anonymous one, unless you actually need a separate instantiation of
the function for each element.

@cyiam: Be aware that 'innerHTML' is not part of the W3C standard. IE
introduced it, and Firefox then implemented it, but there is no
guarantee that Firefox will always give the same result.
You could look at it in Firebug and try to see what's happening, but
why not use Prototype's 'update' instead:

I'm not certain of this, but I think that using 'invoke' will get you
the wrong binding: invoke
calls the invoked function as a *method* on each element, ie. the
element will be passed to openNewWindow as 'this', not as an argument.
I think you just want
filteredResult.each(openNewWindow);

[Proto-Scripty] Re: testing whether all elements in a div have a certain class
There is something very confusing about what you have said. In your
text you say "I can only pass the ID of the element through a
function", in the code you refer to "span_1" etc as the 'spanName',
but then it is actually a class name. Is it really an ID, a name, or a
class?
You only exhibit a single span with each class name 'span_1' etc. so
I'm guessing that you have several spans with class 'span_1', several
with 'span_2' etc. Is that the case?
If so, what I think you want is
if $$('span'+level_ID).all(function(span) {return
span.hasClassName('complete');}) { ...
On the other hand, if you have only one 'span_1', only one 'span_2',
then I don't understand why you are using these separate classnames,
as they are effectively duplicating the id's. In this case, I would
recommend you give them all a single class (say 'myspan'), and then
write
if $$('myspan').all(function(span) {return
span.hasClassName('complete');}) { ...

There are several separate parts of this:
- generating the entries to include the checkboxes
- acting on the result.
The Ajax.Autocompleter in scriptaculous requires you to return an
unordered list for the 'drop-down', and there's nothing to stop you
putting elements inside the 's. If you still want to use
the "pick an entry from the list and it will be as if that had been
typed in the text input box", you can do that - make sure the
elements are inside , and the Autocompleter
code will ignore them in generating the value to return.
However, I'm guessing that that is not what you want, but rather for
the user to proceed by ticking some of the boxes. In that case, I
don't think Ajax.Autocompleter is going to be much use to you, and you
might just as well use Ajax.Updater and do the rest yourself. You can
possibly copy some code from Ajax.Autocompleter.
The code you want (in very sketchy form) is something like
observe($('textbox'), 'keypress', function() {
Ajax.Updater('listdiv', ...
{parameters: { partname: $F('textbox'), ...
});
And then your Ajax backend would match the 'partname', and deliver a
list of
Tom
or maybe just lines with between
You'll need more than this - probably want to put a delay on before
sending, so as not to send until the user has stopped typing for a
bit, and to handle ESC and things. You can copy some of these out of
Ajax.Autocomplete.

So, if you need to add a row, you can either add it to an existing tbody, or add a new tbody (containing it) to the table. But if you need to replace one row in a tbody, *either* you can work on the tbody, in which case you will have to remove the existing tr and insert the new one yourself, *or* you operate on the tr, and update its contents (with a list of th/ td elements, not with a tr).

It is the URL of the script that you write to be the Ajax backend: you can call it what you like, and put it where you like (though it introduces many problems if it isn't on the same domain as the script it's being called from). > Since my app is a Rails one I tried to create a partial (list_item) > with the list item and I passed it as a url but I get "Couldn't find > Person with ID=list_item > If I remove the url parameter I get " > ActionController::MethodNotAllowed Only get, put e delete requests > are allowed." even if I specify get as a method. I don't know Rails, but if it's anything like symfony, a partial isn't enough: it needs to be its own page, which will parse the arguments from the query string, generate the output, and send it with the proper headers. It could be bare text, XML, HTML or it could be empty and return the data in an X-JSON heaader. But if you're going to use Ajax.Updater, you need to return an HTML fragment (not a whole HTML page). In any case, though, it needs to have suitable HTTP headers. I'm guessing that Rails has a way of creating a page which only returns the headers and text you want.

The first argument to Ajax.Autocompleter must be the object ID, not
its name: HTML id's must be unique in the document, and may not
contain '[' or ']'. The 'name' attribute (which is significant for a
form element) may be any character data, and is where some systems
treat '[]' specially.
I'm not certain but I think if you define your input element as
and then
new Ajax.Autocomplete('name', ... )
it will work.

Yes. The whole point of using an autocompleter is that your back-end
code should do the DB access and return only the values *in the
database* which match what the user has so far typed.

You are calling this.mouseover_finished(element) and passing the
result as the value of 'afterFinish'.
You need to pass a function, not a function call. Either an anonymous
function(element) {this.mouseover_finished(element)}
or I suspect this will work
afterFinish: mouseover_finished.bind(this)
though I haven't followed through the meanings of the various 'this'
tokens to be sure.

When 'send' is clicked, that function is called with the event as its
argument. It finds the element actually picked (even if that was a
separate element inside 'send' - but in this case there's no other
element, so it must be the button) and gets its 'myform' attribute,
which as far as I can see doesn't exist.
I'm guessing that you mean to return the form for some reason. If it
is that one form only, you can hard code it as
getData($('myform1'))
but if you want it to be more general, you can say
getData(evt.element().up('form'))
but I may have misunderstood your intent.

I don't think you are. You are merely assigning the same div to a
different variable, so
element and copy both point to the same object. If you want to make a
copy, you
need to use Object.clone. (But I haven't followed through the logic to

It's not a bug, it's correct behaviour according to the standard: [1]
"onchange = script [CT]
The onchange event occurs when a control loses the input focus and
its value has been modified since gaining focus. This attribute
applies to the following elements: INPUT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA."
Use 'onclick' instead.
One other point - I'm not at all sure that writeAttribute
('onclick', ...) works, and on which browsers. MUCH better to use
$(copy2).observe('click', addPub);
(Note that you have to pass a function, not a string or a function
call).
I don't know if any of these points will help your problem or not.

There is what looks very much like a bug in the scriptaculous
documentation (as is actually noted at
http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/ajax-autocompleter): the
'parameters' property needs a string, not an object.
Try
new Ajax.Autocompleter(
"query", "auto_suggest",
"include/suggest.php",
{ parameters: "media_only=media_only" }
);
It would be very much neater if it did accept an object (and I fell
over this myself).
