[Proto-Scripty] Re: Array.without() problem
Use delete history[index]; If you're trying to remove elements from a history array (not an object), you probably want history.splice(index,1), or your indexes are going to be all out of whack. Using splice will cause your history array to have a length of n-1 (which is what you're probably after), whereas the delete will cause the array to have length n with an undefined value at your index. If history is an object, then the delete will work fine. -- Jerod Venema Frozen Mountain Software http://www.frozenmountain.com/ 919-368-5105 --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Inheritance question
If you're trying to avoid the default behaviour for the label (which is to
check/uncheck the appropriate form element), you may want to just use
prototypes stop [1] function. I've never done this, but something like the
following ought to work (I think):
Event.observe('mylabel', 'click', function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
});
You'll probably want a $$('label') call instead of 'mylabel', but you get
the idea.

Ok, thanks.
Let me describe my actual problem:
I have a list with labels and checkboxes:
ul id=list
lilabelinput type=checkbox / My first checkbox/label/li
lilabelinput type=checkbox / My second checkbox/label/li
...
/ul
I wanted to have that list sortable. Very easy task with Sortable:
Sortable.create(list);
Works fine except one issue:
Safari and Firefox interpret the drag and drop as a click on the
label. Clicking on the label changes the status of the checkbox. There
must be a way to prevent this.
Do you have any ideas how to do this.
I used the Sortable callback onChange to save the checkbox status
before the drop. The other callback onUpdate is fired before the click
on the label takes effect. I would like to add another change listener
to the checkbox that only takes effect when onUpdate was fired.

Hi Cyrus,
I don't know much about script.aculo.us, but looking at it
(dragdrop.js), Sortable isn't a class (in the loose way we use that
word in this classless prototypical language JavaScript), it's just an
object with a bunch of functions assigned as properties. So you won't
be able to extend it in this way. Perhaps someone who's done more
with script.aculo.us can point you to a convenient way to achieve the
result you're looking for.

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Is the new statement ever needed ?
As I read the Prototypejs documentation, I noticed that every example
in using your classes begin with the new statement.
So I have written all my code like new Ajax.Request , new
Effect.SlideDown etc.
This works very well for FF.
Now I am porting my code to IE :( and as I got some (other) errors I
discovered the wonderful
a href=www.jslint.comJSLint/a which tells me that
'new' should not be used as a statement
Since I don't really know too much of internals of Javascript: I was
wondering if it is the same
to do
new Ajax.Request and Ajax.Request
just to make JSLint not to bother me :)
If it is the same, I think you should write a couple of lines in
prototypejs documentation about this.
Thank you very much

You probably want to do something like:
mouseClick:. arguments[1].onClick || function(){}
and then, in your code, you hook up the click like so:
myelement.on(click, options.mouseClick);
which hooks the click event to the passed in function. If you need to do
other processing first, try:
myelement.on(click, function(evt){
dostuff();
options.mouseClick(evt);

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Hash.toQueryString() nested hash
2008/9/27 darrinholst [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was going to inject my own thoughts on this, but I found this thread instead... http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-core/browse_thread/thread/140fdf88eed057d/1c466af382e9ba54?lnk=gstq=toQueryString# Some good reading, but I'm not sure what ever came out of it. I looked at Tobie's branch (which I think might be the next release?) and it totally skips objects that are not Arrays. I think nested hashes would be useful if you're using a server side language/framework that understands the format that the client put it in, but since Prototype should be server agnostic then I think you're going to have to roll your own. I primarily use Java, so when I need a complex object sent to the server I've always just converted it to a JSON string and then parsed it back out server side. I know we're getting a little OT here, but just to emphasize Darrin's point, I think there's a good reason for leaving toQueryString as-is. I do the same (or similar) thing as Darrin. If you really have nested hashes on the client side, you're probably working with data that's complex enough that you should have a corresponding object on the server side. Then you can use any of the bazillion JSON-[Insert Language Here] converters/deserializers to translate your data, and you don't need to work with just the primitive values...instead, you get to work with actual objects. Intead of (say, in PHP) $_GET[name] and $_GET[id]...etc, etc, etc, you could do $_GET[myobject] and (in addition to some parsing, or the JSON-...libraries) handle it as a REAL object from that point forward. I work with ASP.Net web services a lot, and when I write my web services, I always write a very simple overloaded version that takes a JSON string, converts to the appropriate object, and then calls the matching web service, ie: UpdateCustomer(Customer c); and UpdateCustomerJSON(string CustomerJSON); This way, you can simply convert the CustomerJSON string to a Customer object, which makes for cleaner code both on the client and server side, because you maintain your object structure.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Problems getting stopObserving to work

I have some code for a lightbox below:
LightBox.prototype.showBox = function(){
...
//Assign event handlers
this.okBtn = this.lbElm.select('INPUT.control.ok')[0];
if(this.okBtn)
{
this.okBtn.observe('click', this.okClick.bind(this));
this.okBtn.focus();
}
...
};
LightBox.prototype.okClick = function(){
this.closeBox();
};
LightBox.prototype.closeBox = function(){
alert('hi');
var elms = this.lbElm.select('INPUT.control');
elms.invoke('stopObserving');
this.lbElm.remove();
this.backDrop.remove();
};
The issue is that the stopObserving doesn't seem to work. The OK
button will still pop-up the alert('hi') no matter how many times I
click it. I tried doing something like this.okBtn.stopObserving() but
that didn't work either. Any ideas?
Check out the docs on stopobserving.
http://prototypejs.org/api/event/stopObserving. The issues you're
having are described in detail.
Essentially, you need to do a couple things:
1) Cache the reference to your bound function, like so:
var bound = this.okClick.bind(this);
this.okBtn.observe('click', bound);
so you can remove the function call later.
2) Pass the correct parameters when attempting to stop observing:
this.okBtn.stopObserving('click', bound);
Notice, as specified in the docs, that you have to have the correct
function reference so that the browser knows WHAT you want to stop
observing. Assuming you want to bind the same function to all of your
elements, you could also do:
elms.invoke('stopObserving', 'click', bound);
...BUT you still need the reference to bound, and it has to be the
SAME function that you initially hooked to your click event.
