[Proto-Scripty] Re: Feedback on a Mega Dropdown menu
Thanks for the feedback. I'm really just trying to get a consistent cross-browser way of doing this. If you know a CSS solution that works in IE, I'd be happy to learn! I agree the fade effect is a bit contentious...

[Proto-Scripty] Feedback on a Mega Dropdown menu
Hello All, I'm new to this group and to prototype script.aculo.us. I've tried to implement a Mega menu (loosely based on the blog: http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/03/31/make-a-mega-drop-down-menu-with-jquery/), and it seems to be working to some degree. The whole thing is here: http://bradmontgomery.net/megamenu/ I'm using registering observers for mouseover and mouseout and I'm using Effect.Appear and Effect.Fade with a specified ScopedQueue. I'm I going about this correctly... are there any caveats to what I'm doing? I've skimmed some other drop-downs that seem to approach this differently. Thanks in advance!

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Hash#filter returns an Array?
TJ, thanks for correcting the docs. I hadn't noticed that error
either.
Are you suggesting that there no intersection of Prototype and Ruby
communities? I only know of Prototype because of Ruby on Rails.
Let's take Hash#reject() as an example. Let's say I'm moving server-
side Ruby code to my Prototype-enhanced client-side.
Ruby code:
{ a = 100, b = 200, c = 300 }.reject {|key, value| key ==
b }
= {a=100, c=300}
Translated to Javascript:
$H({ a: 100, b: 200, c: 300 }).reject(function(i) { return i.key
== b })
= [[a, 100], [c, 300]]
Prototype returns an array? What good is an array if I started with a
hash? It is intuitive that a reject() method returns a subset of the
original data structure and not convert it to an entirely different
one.
Perhaps this is a plea better left for the Prototype-core list.

Hi,
Maybe filter should be an alias of findall for arrays, but shouldn't
it really return a hash for hashes?
FWIW (and it ain't much, I'm not a decision maker on Prototype stuff),
in my opinion it would be an _extremely_ bad idea for Hash to break
the contract documented for Enumerable.
...in ruby, which Prototype is supposed to be modeled after.
Prototype has been split off from Ruby for a long time now. I'd
venture to say that most people using Prototype do not use and may
well never have even seen Ruby. PHP seems to be the server-side
language I see most in code snippets from people asking questions.

Hi Brad,
Sorry, I missed that Hash inherits from Enumerable (and I've filed a
doc bug on it[1] and will fix it -- the doc page for Hash doesn't
mention Enumerable).
So I think that's your answer: Hash#filter is an alias for
Enumerable#findAll[2], which is documented as returning an array, not
a Hash, and so having it return a Hash would be breaking the contract.

Sorry again to have missed the Enumerable thing in the first place.

It does. Hash still inherits from Enumerable, hence the usage of
Hash#findAll().

But it seems to me that it's gone away, because Hash no longer mixes
in Enumerable, does it?

that returns,
[[a, 1], [c, 3]]
I would expect it to return
{a: 1, c: 3}
This is the behavior of Ruby's (1.8) hashes - some of the enumerable
methods return array rather than hash. It was considered a bug and was
fixed in a recently released Ruby 1.9. IIRC, there should be an old
ticket somewhere on the old bug tracker with a lengthy discussion
about this issue.
