[Proto-Scripty] Re: Forms

2009-10-29 Thread Rick . Wellman
$F() gets the *value* of the form element (i.e. a dropdown's value, the text in a text box, etc.) $() just gets the DOM element itself (so would return the dropdown, the text box, etc. respectively). [so also, using $F() on a non-form element is fairly pointless] -Original Message- From:

Though I consider javascript/prototype to be one of my weaker web app skills (which is why I like Prototype in the first place), I feel compelled to add to this discussion in that: While I certainly agree with the Use Case that you are describing (and the one referenced in the response) I

RE: [Proto-Scripty] Issues selecting checkboxes in FF

2009-12-15 Thread Rick . Wellman
Um,... I am pretty sure if you see that a checkbox is checked then it is checked. You gotta suspect your validation code ('cause it sounds like your validation code is checking a group of checkboxes to make sure that at least one is checked). -Original Message- From:

It seems to me that there is a comment somewhere that you need to put a container div within the div you are applying the effect to. i.e. div div ... all of your stuff ... /div /div Sorry I do not have time to find the original documentation and/or confirm but I am pretty sure I have come

Ok, well that is all I got. I did notice that you had an unordered list outside of the div. Until you find the actual problem, I highly suggest putting everything inside the container. Good luck. div style=overflow: visible; div div class=action_plan heading_container h3 class=title Plan img

I am guessing that one of two things is true (maybe a little of both): 1) Though this is the correct forum, no response would mean that no one who reads this knows of boiler plate code. 2) I cannot imagine this is terribly different from code you've done before with small modifications. Is

Um, maybe I'm whack, but... Doesn't an AJAX request need an HTTP server? Am I correct in understanding that you are just trying to distribute files/static content? -Original Message- From: prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com [mailto:prototype-scriptacul...@googlegroups.com] On

I've only partially followed this thread so apologies if this was suggested/shotdown. Can you wrap it with a well-formed HTML element? i.e. div (most likely) and remove it with javascript/prototype? -Original Message- From: prototype-scriptaculous@googlegroups.com

Sorry for this short reply which may not even be correct but... Usually the port number is considered part of the URL from the server session viewpoint so if you're trying to go back to a different port than the rest of your app uses, that could be a problem. [I may have butchered this

This is weird... when FF renders this HTML for me it is putting the divs inside each other like the following. I have never seen this behavior before (but explains why the code is working like it is): div id=OUT div class=out out1 div class=out out2

Glad you got it working but FWIW, Your understanding of the queues seems to be ok but something must be lost in the translation... is the Appear beginning *before* the Fade finishes if you use the queue? Your original message states that it Fades (and I read that to mean that the Fade

Is it just me,... I don't understand what you're even asking/trying to accomplish? What kind of DOM object are you hoping to create? Call it a potayto, or a potahto but any element you insert the HTML into is a wrapper. Apologies if this seems terse but I truly do not understand your
