[Proto-Scripty] Re: Using the appear effect with IE7 yields crappy-looking text
hey, Yes i looked at it [alpher.js] Event.observe(window, 'load', page_loaded_alpha); function page_loaded_alpha(evt) { if($('firstTimeAlphaLink')) { $('firstTimeAlphaLink').onclick=show_first_time_alpha_form; } if($('alphaRegisterBack')) { $('alphaRegisterBack').onclick=show_initial_alpha_page; } } function show_first_time_alpha_form() { $('firstTimeAlphaLink').onclick=; // $('addEmailToWaitListForm').removeClassName ('paddedAddEmailToWaitListForm'); // Effect.Fade('initialFormsArea', { duration: 0.9, queue: 'front' }); // Effect.Appear('alphaRegistrationFormsArea', { duration: 0.9, queue: 'end' }); // $('alphaRegistrationFormsArea').style.opacity=1; $('alphaRegisterBack').onclick=show_initial_alpha_page; $('initialFormsArea').style.display = 'none'; $('alphaRegistrationFormsArea').style.display = 'block'; } function show_initial_alpha_page() { $('alphaRegisterBack').onclick=; // Effect.Fade('alphaRegistrationFormsArea', { duration: 0.9, queue: 'front' }); // Effect.Appear('initialFormsArea', { duration: 0.9, queue: 'end' }); // $('initialFormsArea').style.opacity=1; // $('addEmailToWaitListForm').addClassName ('paddedAddEmailToWaitListForm'); $('firstTimeAlphaLink').onclick=show_first_time_alpha_form; // //$('firstTimeAlphaLink').style.display=none; // //$('firstTimeAlphaLink').style.display=block; // $('firstTimeAlphaLink').style.opactiy=1; $('alphaRegistrationFormsArea').style.display = 'none'; $('initialFormsArea').style.display = 'block'; } initially did the above eliminating one issue after another, at start just showing next div with minimum 'block' / 'none'. i think the problem is with the effect function from scriptaculo. analyzing it now. But creating a basic fade in/ fade out function is not hard if resolving the issue might take long: but still infinate love for scriptaculo now we try making it better. Also why have: $('firstTimeAlphaLink').style.display=none; $('firstTimeAlphaLink').style.display=block; just curious... [be patient].

Dear David, All Yes i do have a good reason, imagine you have multiple baskets which can be for example type of rooms in a hotel e.g average one bedroom, master sweet or a case where a university has multiple students. For easier management of resources [hotel equipment or student courses] the administrator can drag drop. However i'm open to criticism and suggestions on how to have multiple scrollable baskets in a div or otherwise. i believe as complex it might be it can be good example for fellow colleagues, students hoping to forster creating of remarkable Desktop like javascript, web based applications. Checking protype.js and dragdrop.js to better understand this. Thanks you for your time.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Multiple droppables in overflowed div!
Dear David, All, Looked at the Dragdrop.js and prototype, would be nice if one can explain how the droppable is obtained, i presume it might be by pointer position passed also had some revelations in show: function (point, element). Anyway looked at the functional tests [scriptaculous- js-1.8.1/test/functional/dragdrop8_test.html ] and i think i can structure my tutorial like it multiple baskets table cells? Although any resolution achieved regarding my issue is highly welcomed. Thank you.

Dear David, All Successful, thank you for the tips on browser compatibility issue and yes [Position.includeScrollOffsets = true;] is the key plus adding scroll capability of the parent container.

About usability: the problem is that while dragging, you should scroll to drop in the fourth droppable, I personnaly think that people will don't have the idea to do this even if there is a scrollbar, but I can be wrong. So instead, I should use an automatic scrolling (perhaps on the onDrag event fire by the droppabe/Draggable, and detect if your inside the droppable area, and see where you are inside this droppable area, and if you are at the bottom of the visible view, just change position to scroll down automatically. Just one thing, You could revert your change in scriptaculous, that works too. Another point while doing some test (I'm not what I consider a javascript PRO, so try to learn while helping), with the Position.includeScrollOffsets set to true, if you are on the Draggable zone, and the Droppable is scrolled, you could still drop on the first and second element == Funny. It seems that scriptaculous did not wait to be on the Droppable area to test if mouse pointer is on a element !! -- david On 18 fév, 16:13, david david.brill...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Isaac, I've resolve your problem, I did not have the same version of scriptaculous as you, but afetr modifying what you change, here is how it works: The problem was that the Draggable/Droppable method use Position.within to verify if the mouse pointer is on an element or not. This function could use scrolled offset or not with the parameter: Position.includeScrollOffsets which is set to false by default, just apply the change on the for loop to use $R instead as I first mention. And set Position.includeScrollOffsets=true == now it work as you expected. btw, Don't worry, As I say I do help in this group in my spare time, but I WANTED it !!! -- david On 18 fév, 15:47, david david.brill...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Isaac, Hope to soon become pro-javascriptor, senior scriptaculous african Rep, will spread this good deed also by helping others in the forum.
