Re: [Proto-Scripty] Download

2011-12-30 Thread David Behler

Copy the code to a new text file and save it as prototype.js

Or instead of left-clicking the link, just right-click and select Save 
target (or whatever it is called in your browser/language).

The returned data is plain text.

You need prototype and scriptaculous effects in the page first,
obviously, and you need to fill in the id of your list. My plug-in
has
extra code to make it list agnostic, so you could simplify this a
lot if you knew that your effect was only ever being applied to a
list. You could also use this as written on a DIV with a bunch of P
tags in it, or a DIV with a bunch of DIVs in it -- there's no end  
to

the possible combinations.

Yes.  the two table rows are siblings.  +up+[1] moves up the DOM tree,

Hi,

For cloning, there's always Element#clone[1]. That clones the node

Because that creates a property called position on the options
object, exactly the way your earlier code

   

 newParent.insert({top: element});
 

...creates a property called top on the options object. The left-
hand side of a property initializer (and for that matter an
assignment) is used as the name of the property (or variable) to
create, not as a variable _containing_ the name of the property/
variable.

It is possible to do what you want, though:

 Element.addMethods({
 appendTo: function(element, newParent, position) {
 var options;
 element = $(element);
 newParent = $(newParent);
 options = {};
 options[position] = element;
 newParent.insert(options);
 return element;
 }});

...because the bracketed notation for property access uses strings for
property names, and lets you get the property name string from a
variable.

[Proto-Scripty] Keep the state of the effect after refresh or reload.

2010-04-21 Thread david c
I have a scriptaculous fold effect above the header that enables me to
hide the flash movie once it has played. The problem is that once you
navigate to a different part of the site (klick on an About link for
example) the page reloads and the script resets so the movie is no
longer hidden. What I would like is for the movie to stay hidden or
shown, whatever the user chooses, no matter where on the page you
are.

This is the code (I just copy/pasted it from the demos) and it works
just great:

div id=fold ?php wp_swfobject_echo(http:/imagesx/logo303.swf,
900px, 300px); ?/div
ul
  lia href=# onclick=Effect.Fold('fold'); return false;Hide/
a/li
  lia href=# onclick=$('fold').show(); return false;Show/a/
li
/ul

I am not a programmer, I'm a designer who wants to expand my
knowledge, but I have only the very basic understanding about
javascript, php and so on ... VERY basic. I hope someone could help me
out - I get the feeling that this is a more advanced group, but I
searched the net over and over and found no solution. Anyway - thank
you in advance.

[Proto-Scripty] Ajax.Updater not working in IE, works fine in FF Chrome and Safari

2010-03-16 Thread David Behler

Hey folks,
maybe you can help me out with this.

I got a simple function that I use to load sub-categories when clicking 
on a parent category:


function toggleSubCats(cat, id)
{
/* Vars and stuff */
catObj = $(cat);
var send=null;

/* Now figure out the status of the element and open or close based 
on what's found */

if( catObj.getStyle('display') == 'none') {
catObj.setStyle({display : 'block'});
} else {
catObj.setStyle({display : 'none'});
return;
}

/* Let's first dump a loading image in the target div then send the 
AJAX request */

catObj.update(img src=' + base_images + loading_small.gif' /);
var url= base + 'galleryback/showSubCat/'+id;

new Ajax.Updater(catObj,url);

/* Alternative to Ajax.Updater() call
new Ajax.Request(url, {
method: 'get',
onSuccess: function(transport) {
$(cat).update(transport.responseText);
}
});
*/
}

All it's supposed to do,  is to get the element (in this case a div) 
with the id submitted in the cat parameter and display/hide it. If 
display is set to block, then an loading image is shown and ajax.updater 
is called to load the sub-categories to the higher category (id parameter).


This works fine in FF3.6, Chrome and Safari, but in IE8 the loading 
image is not replaced with the loaded sub-categories. If I replace the 
Ajax.Updater call with an Ajax.Request call (see commented section below 
Ajax.Updater) it does not work either in IE8, but I can alert the 
responseText and the catObj.update() does not raise an error, it just 
doesn't have any effect.


Not sure this is important but here is another info that might help you 
solving this:
On intital loading of the page I display only the top categories, 
clicking on one of them calls the above shown function and displays the 
child categories. But clicking on one of the loaded child categories, 
it's where the problem starts and it does not work anymore in IE8. Do 
you think it's some weird problem caused by adding elements after the 
DOM was loaded?

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Updater not working in IE, works fine in FF Chrome and Safari

2010-03-16 Thread David Behler

Hi,
thanks for the quick answer.

1. I did not do that intentionally, it's some code I inherited from the 
former coder. I fixed that and now declare the variable inside the 
function, thanks for pointing it out.


2. As far as I can tell, there is no namespace conflict, the div has the 
id 'cat_1' and there is no other element with that id or name.


The strange thing is, that the update works the first time when the 
loading image is displayed:

catObj.update(img src=' + base_images + loading_small.gif' /);

Any other ideas?

No, people do that all the time.

I'm not immediately seeing the problem, I think it's probably in the
markup or code outside what you quoted. But some things to look for:

1. Unless you're intentionally using `catObj` as a global, you'll want
to declare it in the function (there's no `var` that I see). Otherwise
it becomes an implicit global, which is so high on my list of Bad
Things(tm) I blogged about it[1] (which I don't often do).

2. IE has issues with conflating the namespaces of the `id` and `name`
attributes, which should be separate. I see you're using IDs for the
things to show/hide (perfectly normal, that). Is there *anything* on
your page that has _either_ an `id` or a `name` with the value you're
providing to `toggleSubCats` other than the element you're trying to
show/hide? For instance, if you have a 'stuff' input field:

 input name='stuff' type='text'

and then later in the document a 'stuff' div:

 div id='stuff'/div

...on IE, document.getElementById('stuff') will get you the input
field element rather than the div, despite that being perfectly valid
HTML markup. It's wrong, but that's the way it is, so it's worth
looking whether that might be an issue.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Updater not working in IE, works fine in FF Chrome and Safari

2010-03-16 Thread David Behler

Hi,

I tried some more stuff and it's getting stranger and stranger:

Using the Ajax.Request approach, it still does not work calling

`$(cat).update(transport.responseText);`

But calling this

`$(cat).update('test');`

actually works and replaces the loading image with the string 'test'.

The returned responseText is a table with multiple rows and columns 
inside a div. The responseText was no valid html, but even after fixing 
that it does not work.


I have neither Visual Studio nor InterDev, all I can use to debug 
javascript in IE8 are the built in Developer Tools and stepping through 
it looks fine to me.

Hi,

   

Any other ideas?
 

 From what you're saying, you've already verified (in your version
using Ajax.Request) that:

1. `onSuccess` is getting triggered

2. The `response.responseText` has the correct markup

3. That `catObj.update(img ... /)` works (`catObj` having been set
via `catObj = $(cat);`)

4. But the `$(cat).update(response.responseText);` within `onSuccess`
doesn't work.

With the quoted code, I don't see how all four of those statements can
be true; I'd recommend double-checking (sorry! I know!). If they
really are, you'll have to walk through it with Visual Studio or
InterDev to see what's going wrong in the update call.

Very strange!

Good luck,

Hi,
thanks for the quick answer.

1. I did not do that intentionally, it's some code I inherited from the
former coder. I fixed that and now declare the variable inside the
function, thanks for pointing it out.

2. As far as I can tell, there is no namespace conflict, the div has the
id 'cat_1' and there is no other element with that id or name.

The strange thing is, that the update works the first time when the
loading image is displayed:
catObj.update(img src=' + base_images + loading_small.gif' /);

Any other ideas?

No, people do that all the time.
   
 

I'm not immediately seeing the problem, I think it's probably in the
markup or code outside what you quoted. But some things to look for:
   
 

1. Unless you're intentionally using `catObj` as a global, you'll want
to declare it in the function (there's no `var` that I see). Otherwise
it becomes an implicit global, which is so high on my list of Bad
Things(tm) I blogged about it[1] (which I don't often do).
   
 

2. IE has issues with conflating the namespaces of the `id` and `name`
attributes, which should be separate. I see you're using IDs for the
things to show/hide (perfectly normal, that). Is there *anything* on
your page that has _either_ an `id` or a `name` with the value you're
providing to `toggleSubCats` other than the element you're trying to
show/hide? For instance, if you have a 'stuff' input field:
   
 

  input name='stuff' type='text'
   
 

and then later in the document a 'stuff' div:
   
 

  div id='stuff'/div
   
 

...on IE, document.getElementById('stuff') will get you the input
field element rather than the div, despite that being perfectly valid
HTML markup. It's wrong, but that's the way it is, so it's worth
looking whether that might be an issue.

[Proto-Scripty] Ajax.Updater not working in IE, works fine in FF Chrome and Safari

2010-03-15 Thread David Behler

Hey folks,
maybe you can help me out with this.

I got a simple function that I use to load sub-categories when clicking 
on a parent category:


function toggleSubCats(cat, id)
{
/* Vars and stuff */
catObj = $(cat);
var send=null;

/* Now figure out the status of the element and open or close based

if( catObj.getStyle('display') == 'none') {
catObj.setStyle({display : 'block'});

}

/* Let's first dump a loading image in the target div then send the 
AJAX request */

catObj.update(img src=' + base_images + loading_small.gif' /);
var url= base + 'galleryback/showSubCat/'+id;

new Ajax.Updater(catObj,url);

/* Alternative to Ajax.Updater() call
new Ajax.Request(url, {
method: 'get',
onSuccess: function(transport) {
$(cat).update(transport.responseText);
}
});
*/
}

All it's supposed to do,  is to get the element (in this case a div) 
with the id submitted in the cat parameter and display/hide it. If 
display is set to block, then an loading image is shown and ajax.updater 
is called to load the sub-categories to the higher category (id parameter).


This works fine in FF3.6, Chrome and Safari, but in IE8 the loading 
image is not replaced with the loaded sub-categories. If I replace the 
Ajax.Updater call with an Ajax.Request call (see commented section below 
Ajax.Updater) it does not work either in IE8, but I can alert the 
responseText and the catObj.update() does not raise an error, it just 
doesn't have any effect.


Not sure this is important but here is another info that might help you 
solving this:
On intital loading of the page I display only the top categories, 
clicking on one of them calls the above shown function and displays the 
child categories. But clicking on one of the loaded child categories, 
it's where the problem starts and it does not work anymore in IE8. Do 
you think it's some weird problem caused by adding elements after the 
DOM was loaded?


I really hope you can help me with this!

[Proto-Scripty] prototype and Konqueror

2010-02-21 Thread David Goodenough
It would appear that my local doctors surgery has decided to use a
system for repeat prescriptions and appointment booking which does a
test to make sure that Javascript is enabled on my browser, and it
does this by sending a message to the server using Ajax.request.

I am a KDE user, and my normal browser is Konqueror. I am running
4.3.2.  I have Javascript enabled globally.  But Ajax.request fails
and so the service reports that I do not have Javascript enabled.

Has any work been done to make sure that prototype works properly with
Konqueror?  If not do you wish to be able to support this, and is
there anything I can do to help?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Help with blindup/blinddown effect using mouseover/mouseout events

2010-01-13 Thread david
Hi Paul,

sorry, I made a mistake, in your case, it return the Element and not a
scriptaculous Effect Object.

I take your code and modify it :((
Why, Because I think it's more flexible to use the Morph Effect
instead of those packaged Effect (it's my personnal opinion).
So go to pastie, and see the change I made: http://pastie.org/776764
If some explaination is needed, just write it back on this thread, I
will try to follow it. My first reason is when moving in and out the
mouse quickly on the element will lost the real height of thge element
and Effects where lost ...

So, quickly, I use the Morph Effect and animate the Height property of
the peekaboo to 50px and set it back to 0px for the blindDown.

Hi Sanil Music,

What TJ (it's not CORWDER) want to explain is that you can't do what
you're trying to do or use the ajax request in synchronous mode .
In execution mode, the JS thread in the browser will execurt the
AJAX.Request, and continue like if nothing was done by this function.
There is just a mechanism inside the browser which get the thread back
on the receveid value. And at that time the defined callback for
ONSUCCESS or ONFAILURE or ... will just be launch with the result as
first parameter.

So you need to split ypour code to handle the behaviour you want.

I think you should re-read TJ response, he gives you the answer.

Hi Song,

What kind of error do you have i firebug ???
While reading code, I can say that the ajax.update will insert HTML

But what your trying to do is insert inside a div an iFrame.

So beside that, I suggest not using the ajax.update, but simply an
iframe. So the code become:

Filename : heloajax.html
html
head
script src=js/prototype.js/script
script src=fusioncharts/JSClass/FusionCharts.js/script
/head
body
a href=javascript:void loadTab( 'heloajax_1.html' )Tab 1/a |
a href=javascript:void loadTab( 'tab2.html' )Tab 2/a |
a href=javascript:void loadTab( 'tab3.html' )Tab 3/a
iframe id=content style=padding:5px;border:2px solid black;
src=about:blank/divscript
function loadTab( tab ) {
  $('content').src=tab;
}
loadTab( heloajax_1.html' );
/script
/body
/html

the code of heloajax_1.html:
html
head
script language=JavaScript src=../fusioncharts/JSClass/
FusionCharts.js/script
/head
body
  div id=chartDivTopSigInt_Live align=centerXX/div
script type=text/javascript
  var myChart1 = new FusionCharts(fusioncharts/Charts/Pie3D.swf,
myChartId, 550, 250);
  myChart1.setDataURL(intdatalive_db.xml);
  myChart1.render(chartDivTopSigInt_Live);
/script
/body
/html

and it should work like that.

 Hello,

 First let me say that prototype js is a godsend.  I use it on every

 I repeatedly find myself having to do something like this:

 oldElement = htmlText.replace(RegExp.escape(searchString),

 Or sometimes I want to find how long the text of the new element will
 be.  In both cases I end up having to create a wrapper div, then call
 innerHTML on the new div to get the text content of the original
 element.  What I would like to see (unless I don't know of a feature
 that already exists) would be a replication of IE's outerHTML
 feature.  Maybe call the method htmlText().  Using firstDiv from
 above, it would work like this:

 firstDiv.htmlText()  or Element.htmlText(firstDiv) would return  div
 id=\theID class=\theClassName\[content]/div

 The closest feature I can find to this is Element.inspect(), but it
 only returns (in this example):  div id=\theID class=\theClassName

[Proto-Scripty] Re: instantiate class problem on IE

Hi RobG,

Thanks to point it out, all should read HOST OBJECT :))

 Can you imagine the ramifications of IE not allowing native objects to
 have methods? :-)

No, I prefer not thinking to that. IE have so much pain for developper
that it didn't need this one.

 You might need to re-think that statement. From ECMA-262:

 Native Object
 A native object is any object supplied by an ECMAScript
 implementation independent of the host environment. Standard native
 objects are defined in this specification. Some native objects are
 built-in;others may be constructed during the course of execution of
 an ECMAScript program.

 Can you imagine the ramifications of IE not allowing native objects to
 have methods? :-)

 Perhaps you meant host object. But if that were true, most of
 Prototype.js would not work at all in IE.

  Generally it's not a good idea to extend native objects because your
  not sure that another JS will not use the same method name !!

 Perhaps you did mean host object. Yes, it's a bad idea to add *non-
 standard* properties to host objects. How do you reconcile that notion
 with the use of Prototype.js's $() function?

 I'm trying to use the BlindDown/Up effect but it it renders stuttery

 Basically, the background div that is is referenced in the function
 call, doesn't extend all the way down. It's contents are shown fine.
 Also, it works fine for the first time, but every susequent BlindDown
 is borked.

 Screenshot:http://www.flickr.com/photos/24003...@n00/4203465158/sizes/o/

 My suspicion is that there is some stray CSS that the effect doesn't
 aggree with, but I played around with it in Firebug but couldn't get
 to the bottom of it.

 I did make one observation though: Whenever I roll the div up, even in
 the hidden state it still has a height CSS attribute with a value of
 something like 80px. If I manually remove the attribute the BlindDown
 looks as intended.

 Anybody care to enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Extending a class

2009-12-17 Thread david
Hi Greg,

While reading my answer, I missed sometyhing :((
You could not use unser*ialize with the $F utility ?
$F is an alias for Form.Element.Methods.getValue and it return a
string, not an extend object like the $() function.
So output of $F is a string, and if you want to use the unserialize
chained with the $F, you should extend the Object it is return by the
$F() function, so as it is said, STRING.

try this,

Object.extend(String.prototype,{
unserialize: function(element, source) {
  if (!(element = $(element)))
throw new Error('DOMElement is required');

  source = Object.isString(source)
? source.toQueryParams()
: source;

  element.getElements().each(function(element) {
for (var name in source) {
  if (name == element.name)
element.setValue(source[name]);
}
  })
  return element;

}
});


But take care, if now the $F() return anything but not a string it
does not work, or you could extend Array.prototype also.
So now, call it with:

$F('formElementId').toString().unserialize()
or if your sure that it's string,
$F('formElementId').unserialize()

 as you extend the Form.method, this method could not be used with the
 $ utility, but with the $F utility, so call it with:
 $F(form1).unserialize(form1,data)

 verify the syntax, this is not tested.
 If trouble, repost, I could do some test to set the correct syntax :))

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Observer problem

2009-12-15 Thread david
Hi rui,

Your problem could be resolved using event delegation, you set the
event on the body of you document.
Whne the observed event is fired, you can know on which element it is
applied. If the element is the element you *really*  want to observe,
just launch your code that handle that event.

In that case, element could be removed (no more event could be fired)
and can be re-inserted. In that last case, the element have changed,
but for the event delegation, the only important thing is that the
element.id exist, and the event is well fired without anything to do.

Hi Cyril,

I think first that it's in the prototype core group that you should
ask such a question. it's at: 
http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-core?hl=fr
Next, it's at scripteka: http://scripteka.com/ that you should send
any extension to prototype.

I think in case the extension is very usefull, it could extend
prototype. But the original idea is to keep prototype smaller as

 MyQueue.add(new Hash({update: 'myDiv', idBhv: 'myBhv', myParams:
 'foo' }));
 MyQueue.add(new Hash({update: 'mySecDiv', idBhv: 'mySecBhv', myParams:
 'bar' }));

 }

 This function will stack 2 behaviors to be implemented immediately one
 after the other. 

 I was wondering if this feature would be added in future version of
 prototype? If yes, I can provide code and ideas. 

 Have fun,

 Hi,

 an iframe loading proxy file from domain B which passes on the message

 notification mechanism (because both belong to the same domain B). As
 soon as the message is delivered (part of loading of the iframe's
 body), in iframe's onload event, iframe is destroyed after cleaning up
 the listeners attached to it.

 Now comes my problem. These messages are reaching fine across
 different domains. But the order is not guaranteed. I think this is
 more so because of the loading order of the iframes that are
 dynamically created for each message and then destroyed. Is there a
 way i could ensure the ordered delivery? I tried to reuse the iframes
 for multiple messages (not destroying at the end of the message
 delivery); but then location update is not communicated to the iframe
 (should have happened in onload listener, but it doesn't). Any idea
 what could be done?

 i can see where you're going with that, but in those successively

 In my concept, the first call commands the server to run all three
 steps:

 Client Request 1 --
   Collect the data (send feedback to client) --
   Create the PDF (send feedback to client) --
   Attach to an email and send (send final feedback)

 Am i correct? If so, that works only to the amount of detail i provide
 nested invocations of Ajax.Request to check/perform one specific
 detail of progress. Keep in mind this is only an example: what if i
 need feedback during the attachment process (attaching 1 of 100
 files)? For one, it would be nasty to nest that many Ajax.Request
 calls, and more importantly, that email object only exists within the
 request that creates and processes it. The second request to attach
 file 2 of 100 isn't working on the same email object (as i understand
 it).

 i did find one QA similar to this where it was suggested to use
 $_SESSION for the current progress message... The initial Request gets
 the server going on the task, and also creates a second Request that
 repeats (eg, Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater). That one does nothing more than
 check $_SESSION for the latest message (which gets updated by the task
 being performed). That feels slightly better to me, despite the
 potential traffic overhead for longer requests (hence the {decay}

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Element initialisation

2009-12-08 Thread david
Hi speedpacket,

 First of all thanks for taking the time to trying to understand me ;)
 Basically what I'm trying to do is the following.

I think this forum is done for that :))

 Whenever I want to add special behaviour to elements on the form, I
 add classes to the element, or add (I know this isn't compliant, but I
 have yet to find a better way) custom attributes, for instance:

 input type=text name=nameID id=nameID value=blablabla
 validation={required}/

I see at least two better way:
first use the new prototype Element.storage, so you should keep
outside the DOM the private information.
But as you'll have to walk through the DOM after to reach each element
and find if some attribute is set,
I definitelly think to the second solution: Use an object where you'll
store each private property for each element.
Depending on how you'll walk the DOM, it could be something like:

var myProperty={
  'formName_1':{
'elementId_1':'set your parameter here in an object, array, ...
depending on what kind of property you'll need',
'elementId_2':'..'
  }
}

So that you'll have no more to walk through the DOM, but just have tio
iterate on myProperety object.



 I attached an elementInitialisation() function to the onload of the
 document.
 Once the document loaded, I have one function that does the
 initialisation on the element.

 I would loop over all elements that require initialisation in some
 way, and call the initialiseElemen(el) method.
 In that element, I do all checks (does the element need validation
 added, does it require extra behaviour, ...) and I modify the element
 adding the desired behaviour.  This works fantastically...

so this part is OK :))
my contribution is just a way to do this !


 Unfortunately however, I also update the contents of my page using
 ajax on several occasions which might also add elements to the
 document that would require initialisation.  These elements would need
 to be going through the initialiseElement(el) function as well...

In this condition, it could be hard to maintain to use the same object
to store original element and the one added with AJAX.
But if you modify a little bit your initialiseElement(el) function to
initialiseElement(OBJECT), than your first call will pass the original
object that could create some other DOM element and each onComplete
callback of the AJAX request will call the initialiseElement()
function with a newly created object only containing element that were
created inside each AJAX request.

this could be a way to do what you'll need. What do you think ?

   Hello there,

   I have another question that I hope someone can give me some insight
   too...
   As I want all javascript code to be in a seperate file, I wrote a
   function initialiseElements which literally takes an element and
   initialises its behaviour based upon some attributes (classname for
   instance).

   Basically it takes the elemen, checks whether el.readAttribute
   (isInitialised) == false, and in that case processes the element
   (adding tooltips for action images, adding onclick behaviour,
   onmouseover behaviour, add validators to inputs and so on...)
   When processed we set el.writeAttribute(isInitialised) = true so
   that it will only process one element a single time...

   I found this way of working to be going great, and I basically call
   the initialiseElement method for each element upon loading the form,
   making it a very generic process...

   However (yes, there is a but!!!), I do have an issue of course when I
   cal some ajax to update the content; in that case I need to initialise
   the elements that have been added...

   Is there a way to observe the dom and automatically run newly created
   elements through the initialise function?

   Would this be a good approach?
   How do you guys deal with stuff like this?

Hi all,

 I was under the impression that it would not actually be added to the DOM
 when using innerhtml. And it therefore cannot be manipulated as a DOM
 element.


In fact, it's faster than any JS implementation, prototype or other.
Browser are optimize to parse HTML string in an unbeatable way !

And of course it could be manipulate as a DOM element, but you'll have
first to retrieve it from DOM using $() or $$().

Hi sumit,

Just a though, I didn't test it.
you don't use custom event it has the form namespace:eventName.

What you could do ?? is to define in frame A:
document.observe(FrameB:message, function(e){
console.log(11+e);
});

And send from Frame B:
Event.fire(document,'FrameB:message','message to send',true);

It could work, but my question is about frame and crossdomain ??

Hi Rob,

in fact there is two different trouble:
first you'll set the onresize event to many element == think using
event delegation !
next, the onresize event in FF for exemple is send one the mouse have
stop mouving (even if the event is not finished yet, means you did not
release the mouse button) BUT in IE, the onresize event is submit
every time the mouse is mouving, like the mousemove event :((

So use event delegation and in IE set a sorte of timeout to wait a
certain time before recalculate this event !

[Proto-Scripty] Delay or defer ajax requests

2009-12-07 Thread David S.
Hello.

I'm using animations on my website, and i want to start an Ajax
request after a animation has finished. So i want to use Function.defer
(...) on the Ajax.Updater function. The problem is that the
Ajax.Updater must be initiated using the new keyword, but then
Ajax.Updater isn't working.

I tried it like this:
new Ajax.Updater.defer(5,'main_body', '?topic='+topic, { evalScripts:
true });

I don't want to create a new function for using the delay:

var submit_ajax = function(topic) {
 new Ajax.Updater('main_body', '?topic='+topic, { evalScripts:
true });
}
submit_ajax.delay(0.7,topic);

How is it possible to run functions that require new after a delay.

Thanks.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Sliders freeze when the window is resized

It seems not to be a known problem (as there is no reply).
Is it possible to have a test page, or a code we can test at

 Hi,

 I've got an odd problem which I'm not able to fix.
 All my sliders freeze the moment I resize the browser window.

 I can't move the handle itself, but when I click on the slider track
 the handle jumps to the right position.
 So it seems like the Draggable on the handle fails after the window
 resize.

 In my document i've got a few text fields which are provided with a
 slider the moment the dom is loaded.
 All the elements are generated via javascript and all are put in a
 wrapper with position:absolute, a high zIndex and left and top 0.

 Is this a known issue?
 Or what am I doing wrong?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Element initialisation

 Is there a way to observe the dom and automatically run newly created

 Hello there,

 I have another question that I hope someone can give me some insight
 too...
 As I want all javascript code to be in a seperate file, I wrote a
 function initialiseElements which literally takes an element and
 initialises its behaviour based upon some attributes (classname for
 instance).

 Basically it takes the elemen, checks whether el.readAttribute
 (isInitialised) == false, and in that case processes the element
 (adding tooltips for action images, adding onclick behaviour,
 onmouseover behaviour, add validators to inputs and so on...)
 When processed we set el.writeAttribute(isInitialised) = true so
 that it will only process one element a single time...

 I found this way of working to be going great, and I basically call
 the initialiseElement method for each element upon loading the form,
 making it a very generic process...

 However (yes, there is a but!!!), I do have an issue of course when I
 cal some ajax to update the content; in that case I need to initialise
 the elements that have been added...

 Is there a way to observe the dom and automatically run newly created
 elements through the initialise function?

 Would this be a good approach?
 How do you guys deal with stuff like this?

 thanks so much in advance again for your much appreciated feedback.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Custom signal

2009-12-07 Thread david
Hi fma,

If you test exemple you'll gave, it could result in something like
that:

function func2(arguments) {
alert(arguments);
alert($A(arguments));
}

function func1() {
func2(arguments);
}

func1('a1','b2');

The body of func2 will alert the arguments received, which ius of
course the one you create in the call to func1.
in first alert, you'll receive the native arguments. It is in fact not
a real object, but a fake Array. It means, that it's an array with
only some Array's methods (like length).
But thanks to prototype, you could convert it in a REAL array with
standard method, and prototype method. An now it's a pleasure playing
with arguments :))

This is not the original question, but to insert elements in the DOM,
you should do:

It's faster in execution than creating an element with a new.Element a

  Ok, I found something...

  If I look at the HTML tree in the IE debugger, on the left panel I
  can't see any 'class' attribute. However, it does appear on the right
  panel (called Attributs), with the correct value. But IE does not
  seems to use it. I found that I can add an attribute to the div in the
  left panel. So I tried to add an attribute named 'class', and I set
  its value: this fixes the problem, and IE can apply the CSS!!!

  Then, I tried something else... I used the old-style to build the DOM
  tree:

  this.content = document.createElement('div');
  Element.extend(this.content);
  this.content.setAttribute('id', this._name + _content);
  this.content.setAttribute('class', fullContent);
  document.body.appendChild(this.content);

 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.

  instead of the new-style:

  this.content = new Element('div', {'id': this._name + _content,
  'class': fullContent});

  and it worked!!!

  At first, I didn't put the quotes arround the attributes names, in the
  hash:

  this.content = new Element('div', {id: this._name + _content,
  class: fullContent});

  but IE does not like this syntax (it asks for an int or a string). But
  as you can see, giving a string does not seems to work well.

 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.

  Am I doing something wrong with the new-style method? Or is it a known
  issue in Prototype?

 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.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: storing a closure as the value in a Hash (and then calling it later)

2009-12-04 Thread david
Hi Wil,

info.key.info.value(this)); have two closed brace, but I'm sure that
it's a cut  paste error :))
Something surprise me, you call info.key.info.value as an object and
you say that info.key and info.value is defined. It's strange, because
you should have say info.key.info.value is an existing object.

But, the real problem is that you call this inside an anonymous
function:
observerInfo.each(function(info) {
info.key.info.value(this));
});

this should refer to your objectOfMyObservableClass? is that rigth ?
But inside the anonymous function, it lost its binding to the defined
class and refer the function (so in fact is the window object)

To keep the reference to this inside the anonymous function, there is
a first way:
var that=this;
observerInfo.each(function(info) {
info.key.info.value(that));
});

And another way could be done in a more prototypish way:
var myFunction=(function(info) {
info.key.info.value(this));
}).bind(this);

observerInfo.each(myFunction);

  info.key and info.value are both valid objects, but nothing happens.

 Your 'info.key' property is your observer, which I tend to suspect
 doesn't then have a property called 'info' on it, but that's what
 info.key.info retrieves. Then you retrieve the 'value' property from
 that and try to call it (info.key.info.value(this)). You're also
 passing in a 'this' value which refers to the browser window, whereas
 I suspect you wanted to refer to the observable object.

 I think this is what you meant:

     observerInfo.each(function(info) {
         info.value.call(info.key, this);
     }, this);

 ...which will call the callback setting the observer as the context
 (the 'this' value within the callback) and passing in the observed
 object -- note that to do that, I had to pass 'this' into #each as its
 second argument because otherwise context is lost when you call #each.

 But the above, by itself, won't solve the problems because I think you
 probably have an issue here:

  this.observableChanges.get(property).set(observer, callback);

 Hash#set is documented as accepting a String for the key, but you're
 passing in other kinds of objects, not just strings. You can't rely on
 the key not getting converted to a string (a string that will probably
 be [Object] or similar).

 FWIW, I probably wouldn't use Hash for this at all, it's overkill for
 the 'observableChanges' property and mis-matched for the values within
 that. I'd probably just use a plain JavaScript object for
 'observableChanges' using the property name as the key, with the value
 being an array of tuples for the callbacks to make.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Attempting to extend a prototype method

2009-11-26 Thread david
Hi Hippyjim Starbrook,

this is not the way you should do. It's better to use a wrapper to t
(he native function. First because you did not modify the standard
behaviour of prototype, and also because you still have the capability
to call the original function.
Have a look to the wrap() function at
http://api.prototypejs.org/language/function.html#wrap-instance_method

In you case, you could do something like that:
  Form.Element.Methods.disable=Form.Element.Methods.disable.wrap(
function(OriginalCall,ExtraParameters){
  //do what you want here,
  //this refer to a Form.Element.Methods object.
...
  //call original method and return it's value if needed.
  return OriginalCall(this);
}
  );

The OriginalCall is the original prototype function you overide. You
can (or of course not) call it.

hope that help.

 Hi All

 I'm attempting to extend the Form.Element.disable() method, so that it
 adds a disabled class to any element is disables.

 I'm attempting to replace the existing prototype function with one of
 my own, using the following code in a javascript file loaded after
 prototype.js:

 Form.Element.Methods.disable = function(element) {
     element = $(element);
     element.blur();
     element.disabled = true;
     element.addClassName(disabled);
     return element;

 }

 But it doesn't seem to replace the original prototype method.

 Am I missing something?

an idea is to get the latest version from the github website.
The DanWeb site have a link to the low pro version in GitHub (it seems

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Sychronize many asynchronous Ajax.Request

2009-11-24 Thread david
Yes your right Alex, but the case of maalek did not mention such
numbers of request.
I think in his case using one array is better than using a lot (~14
differents variables).

btw, I'm interrest in In fact the actal request stays in memory
unless you null the object and after reflexion, that is logical, but
is it normal ??

Hi again,

I've checked on on another computer, and I see a problem in the menu
when first overing an element.
What I see is not a color problem, but an opacity problem.
Menu element's opacity is not set at page definition, so when the
first effect appears, scriptaculous set by default opacity to 1. For
other effects, no problem as the value is set at the element's level.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Local autocomplete issue when searching for 'IN' string

2009-11-23 Thread david
Hi manuel,

the autocomplter check on the string you enter in the array, not
inside the generate code.
I only think to one thing, delete the HTML markup inside the
autocomplter.
this autocompleter does almoth the same as yours:
new Autocompleter.Local('search_stpr', 'div_search_stpr',['WI -
Wisconsin','GA - Georgia','MD - Maryland','ME - Maine'],
{fullSearch:true});

But if you still need some styling, just set the HTML code and styling
will match elements by using CSS selectors. But in that case if you
still enter sp, spa, span, all elements are returned

There is the possibility to pass instead of the array of possibles
values a function which will do the checking, but that more difficult.

Or one possibility is to set the partialSearch parameter to false so
that the autocompleter will only check at the beginning of the string
to find a match. but entering 3 letter will have no effects. Or invert
the initial of the state with it's name, and style by defaul the name
and add some HTML code to style the initial (the partialSearch
parameter is still set to false).

hope that help.

 this maybe because I have this setup and the word informal is in all

   Hi,

   I'm using Prototype 1.6.0.3. I spent a lot of time searching the net
   for solutions to this and found a few good suggestions/hints. The most
   relevant is the following, which talks about the exact problem I'm
   having:https://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8886/tickets/175-ajax-up...

   I have a page, sitting atwww.domain.com/folderwhichopensa popup.
   This popup then uses Ajax.Updater to update a div onwww.domain.com/folder
   (the parent/opening page). In FF this works fine. In IE it works the
   first time but not subsequent times. After the parent page is
   refreshed.

   I've tried setting the http headers in the indexSuccess module/actions/
   actions.class.php as suggested 
   herehttp://greenash.net.au/posts/thoughts/an-ie-ajax-gotcha-page-caching

   $this-getResponse()-setHttpHeader('Last-Modified', gmdate(D, d M Y
   H:i:s). GMT);
   $this-getResponse()-setHttpHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-store, no-
   cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
   $this-getResponse()-setHttpHeader('Pragma', 'no-cache');

   This hasn't worked.

   I also noticed in the updateContent function in Ajax.Updater, there is
   a call: receiver.update(responseText); (line 1468 or so)

   The first time through, this call is executed and the resulting call
   is made to the IE specific update function on line 2449. The second
   time through, this function doesn't seem to get called at all.

   I also tried creating a unique URL for the ajax request by appending
   the current timestamp to the end 
   ofwww.domain.com/folder?timestamp=12311312312.
   This creates two unique subsequent URLs for the Ajax.Updater call but
   the call to receiver.update still seems to fail.

   Does anyone have ideas on what is going on? Am I not setting my http
   headers in the right place?

   Thanks,
   Avichal

Bill,

just a precision (in Fact I did not understand that you still need to
get every minutes the result):
the stop() method is at 
http://api.prototypejs.org/ajax/ajax/periodicalupdater.html#stop-instance_method

normally, you could stop  start the peridical updater at will.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: onClick vs Element.observe

2009-11-17 Thread david

Hi phegaro,

the difference is not about cross browser, because both method is
cross browser.
first method come the DOM0 specification and the second one is DOM2.

The big difference is that the DOM0 event could only have ONE
definition. But for the DOM2 event, you'll have the possibility to
accept more than one definition.

What I would recommend is to use the DOM2 event and I much more
recommend  using event delegation:
instead of observing each element, just observe the parent and get the
element on the the click is done. So you will have only one event, and
you could remove or insert element, it will always handle event for
all elements.

 Are there any issues with option 1 or 2 and which is more performant

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Updater + Sortable.Create = nothing?

2009-11-17 Thread david

Hi,

I think that writing it this way will create the sortable at
compilation time, not at execution, so the sortable is create before
the update is (launch ?) finished.
You should write it inside an anonymous function:

Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {

new Ajax.Updater('issue_order1', '/inc/modules/
issue_order.php?
col=issue_order1', {
  parameters: { onComplete: function(){Sortable.create
('issue_order1') }}
});

});

and that should work. I think, but I did not test it

 Any ideas?  Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated.

Hi greg,

try this:

Object.extend(Form.Methods,{
unserialize: function(element, source) {

  source = Object.isString(source)

as you extend the Form.method, this method could not be used with the
$ utility, but with the $F utility, so call it with:
$F(form1).unserialize(form1,data)

verify the syntax, this is not tested.
If trouble, repost, I could do some test to set the correct syntax :))

 In IE8, the div drags every time I attempt to use it.

 Aside from the standard HTML and calling the prototype  scriptaculous

 Stranger still, when I use FF to go

I just have a thought !
Event.observe( window, 'unload', Event.unloadCache ); is outside the

So If it's placed in the head tag, your not sure that the DOM is
loaded at the time IE parse this line, and after testing, it throw an

You should try to do set this line inside the load DOM event.

Hi Patrick,

You could do somethink like that:

BuilderBox.buttons = {

add_behavior: {
  '.some_class:click': function(element) {
this.containerMorph(element);
  }
},

   containerMorph: function(element) {

...
but in that case, you can't bind the function to the element. But is
there a specific reason to create an object with methods and bind each
method with something else than the object itself ??

Normally, an object create with method always refers to itself and you
just give parameter to the called method.

Perhaps, if you have a specific need, it need a specific notation.
Explain a little bit more why you want another notation?

Hi all,

I think $$ is not so good for the reason you give, but how about using
the select() method??
you have one reference to the parent object and then you use CSS
selector to find childrens. So when moving some pDOM art from a place
to another, you just have to change the parent element to the new one,
and that' all.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Finding the Absolute Position of an Element

2009-10-30 Thread david

Hi Jonathan,

Just a little precision, if the element is not inside any scrolled
element, use like say alex the cumulativeOffset function but the doc
is:
http://api.prototypejs.org/dom/element.html#cumulativeoffset-class_method

In case a parent element of the element you try to find position is
scrolled, just use:
http://api.prototypejs.org/dom/element.html#cumulativescrolloffset-class_method

 Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Finding the Absolute Position of an Element

 Seems like this should be easy, but I can't come up with a solution.

 What I want to do is to use Effect.Move to move an element to another
 element's position.  Seems like I need to find the target element's absolute
 position to do this.

 So, how do I find an element's absolute position?  Or is there another way
 to do what I want?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Updater Issue in IE - cache issue - Symfony + Prototype

2009-10-30 Thread david

Hi Avichal Garg,

Is it a GET or a POST request, because IE (and OPERA) cache GET
request.
In Firebug, do you see the header you set when request is lauch from
FF ?

 Hi,

 I'm using Prototype 1.6.0.3. I spent a lot of time searching the net
 for solutions to this and found a few good suggestions/hints. The most
 relevant is the following, which talks about the exact problem I'm
 having:https://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8886/tickets/175-ajax-up...

 I have a page, sitting atwww.domain.com/folderwhich opens a popup.
 This popup then uses Ajax.Updater to update a div onwww.domain.com/folder
 (the parent/opening page). In FF this works fine. In IE it works the
 first time but not subsequent times. After the parent page is
 refreshed.

 I've tried setting the http headers in the indexSuccess module/actions/
 actions.class.php as suggested 
 herehttp://greenash.net.au/posts/thoughts/an-ie-ajax-gotcha-page-caching

 $this-getResponse()-setHttpHeader('Last-Modified', gmdate(D, d M Y
 H:i:s). GMT);
 $this-getResponse()-setHttpHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-store, no-
 cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');
 $this-getResponse()-setHttpHeader('Pragma', 'no-cache');

 This hasn't worked.

 I also noticed in the updateContent function in Ajax.Updater, there is
 a call: receiver.update(responseText); (line 1468 or so)

 The first time through, this call is executed and the resulting call
 is made to the IE specific update function on line 2449. The second
 time through, this function doesn't seem to get called at all.

 I also tried creating a unique URL for the ajax request by appending
 the current timestamp to the end 
 ofwww.domain.com/folder?timestamp=12311312312.
 This creates two unique subsequent URLs for the Ajax.Updater call but
 the call to receiver.update still seems to fail.

 Does anyone have ideas on what is going on? Am I not setting my http
 headers in the right place?

 Thanks,
 Avichal

   Hi,
  I don't have any droppable on the table or anywhere in the page. There is
  just one draggable element and no droppables. Like in the online sample.
  The code to create the draggable element is this :

  var draggable = new Draggable(objId, { scroll: window });

  Well, I think I found something:
  I develop with IE8 and when I use the compatibility mode for IE7 the drag

  Maybe is a problem with the IE8 engine...

  You're quite vague, but I'm suspecting you have a droppable on every

2009-10-30 Thread david

Hi Kupido,

When writting:
Event.observe(element, 'mouseenter', mouseEnter.bindAsEventListener
(element));

When writting bindAsEventListener, it means that your binded
function will have its scope set to element.
So your called fiunction should be:
function mouseEnter(event)
{
this.setStyle('color:blue'); //just an exemple of a call to an
element method.

}

In your writting, there is an element argument. If you use it, I'm not
sure it works.

Btw, if you can post your whole code, it could help us.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: mouseenter mouseleave: tooltip not hiding

2009-10-30 Thread david

Hi Kupido,

the mouseleave event is a hide which set display property to none;
And the mouseenter event is an appear, which set opacity from 0 to 1.

So when the element is hide, there is no way to appear again, because
they don't change the same property.
This could explain why event is still triggered, but you'll see
nothing.

One note about using event on mouseeneter/mouseleave (like mouseover/
mouseout):
you 'll need to save the effect in execution so if you want to launch
the opposite effect and the executed effect is not finished, you could
cancel() executing effect and after launch the opposite (new) effect.
Otherwise it will flicker !

Hi Kupido,

When writting:
Event.observe(element, 'mouseenter', mouseEnter.bindAsEventListener
(element));

When writting bindAsEventListener, it means that your binded
function will have its scope set to element.
So your called fiunction should be:
function mouseEnter(event)
{
        this.setStyle('color:blue'); //just an exemple of a call to an
element method.

}

In your writting, there is an element argument. If you use it, I'm not
sure it works.

Btw, if you can post your whole code, it could help us.

 Hi all,
 I have a page with some boxes placed side by side. When the user moves
 over one of them a tooltip appears, then it should disappear when the
 user moves out or moves over another box.

 I use the mouseenter and mouseleave events to do this but sometimes,
 when the user moves quickly on the boxes, some tooltips don't hide. I
 can see even more than one tooltip at the same time and they won't
 disappear until the boxes are hovered again. It's like the mouseleave
 event is not triggered, but if I put an alert in it I see it gets
 triggered.

 The code is the following:

 $('boxes').select('.box').each(
         function (element)
         {
                 Event.observe(element, 'mouseenter', 
 mouseEnter.bindAsEventListener
 (element));
                 Event.observe(element, 'mouseleave', 
 mouseLeave.bindAsEventListener
 (element));
         }
 );

 function mouseEnter(event, element)
 {

 }

 function mouseLeave(event, element)

 I'm trying to use Prototype to do some basic Ajaxy things for the
 first time in ages, and have run into a problem that I've seen
 reported before, but with no replies:

 http://groups.google.com/group/prototype-scriptaculous/browse_thread/...

 I have a function like this to send an async request back to the
 server (in my case Ruby+Rack+Sinatra, and I'm testing with Firefox 3.5
 and whatever the current Linux Chrome build is):

 function toggleAcknowledge(id) {
   updater = new Ajax.Request('/alert/'+id+'/acknowledge', {
     method:'post',
     onSuccess: function(response) {
       alert(Success);
     },
     onComplete: function(response) {
       alert(Complete);
     }
   });

 };

 I've found that when the Updater method is set to 'post', the
 onSuccess and onComplete functions fire after 30 seconds, rather than
 when the request has completed (which is pretty much instantly).  This
 obviously means updates won't happen to my page etc.  It seems that
 the 30 second delay corresponds to the HTTP/1.1 connection being
 closed; while the connection is open but the request complete, the
 callbacks don't fire.  If I change the method to 'get' I don't see
 this problem.

 Would appreciate some prototype veterans' ideas on how to fix / work
 around it - my first instinct was to ask the browser to use HTTP/1.0
 but I assume this is a bit too low-level - any better ideas on how to
 handle it?

 Thanks,

[Proto-Scripty] Re: replace_html with javascript or rjs after ajax call

2009-10-23 Thread david

Hi Dave,

I think that a mix of both is good.
First, observe the icon with javascript. Then when it is clicked (or
whatever), launch an Ajax.Request to the server to update the
database, and set something to say to the user that something is
launch in the background.
When the request is Complete, use Ajax.Request onComplete callback to
modify HTML. Use others callbacks in case of error.

So that, the HTML is set only when the database is modified!

 I'm not sure what is best practice in this situation.  I have a quiz
 add icon that, when clicked, adds an element to a quiz list.  Right
 now it is using a link_to_remote with an image_tag (in ruby rails) and
 when clicked it hits the server, saves the quiz add/remove toggle and
 then uses rjs to change the icon.

 It seems that it would be faster to use straight javascript to observe
 the icon and then when clicked change the icon and create an
 ajax.request to run in the background to save the add/remove toggle to
 the database.  Would this be better?  I know it would seem faster to
 the user, but maybe it is good to make the user wait until the save to
 the database / ajax.request call is completed?  That way it would
 prevent the user from clicking the icon rapidly and creating a number
 of ajax.requests in a row.

 Any input is appreciated, Dave

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Moving Draggable object outside div with overflow hidden

2009-10-23 Thread david

Hi Shyam Kadhka,

One solution could be to clone the dragged element to a newer element
before start of drag, but it not standard and would make you modify a
lot standard code.
Another solution could be to duplicate the overfloaw hidden element.
The new element will not have overflow hidden, but be transparent. The
dragging element could be inside this new element. Juste make sure to
clonePosition to have exactly the same positionning (but your HTML
code should accept that).

I'm sure that the core team have tested prototype on IE7/8 .
And If we were just after the release date that could be possible

I'm sure that some other guy have does some test with IE (I'm one of

 Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Major frustrations with Effect.Morph

  Ok, so I can't seem to win...  It appears to me that Effect.Morph is
  full of bugs.

  I have been trying my hardest to get morph to work with padding-- and
  it doesn't behave properly...

  document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {

       $$('input.sort_children').invoke('observe', 'click', function()
  {
          var css = {};
          var children = this.next('div').immediateDescendants(); //
  this selects an array of divs

  // toggle the button state
          if (this.getValue().toLowerCase() == sort) {
             this.value = done;
             css.padding = 0px;
          }
          else {
             this.value = sort;
             css.padding = 50px;
          }

          children.each(function(e){
             new Effect.Morph(e, {style: css, duration: .5});
          });

        });
  });

  when I click my sort button, I immediately see it change to done but
  nothing happens..  I click it again.. it goes back to sort.. nothing
  happens.. I click it a 3rd time, and suddenly the padding morph
  happens.

  I then tried using css = 'classname1' and css = 'classname2'...  Then
  when I clicked it, it would set the padding to 0 properly and morph
  it... but when i'd click it a 2nd time, it would do something weird
  that look like it set the padding to 5 and then it dropped down to 0
  again...

  ...  I also was trying to set the display properties from 'inline-
  block' to 'block'.. and that did not work at all either when I was
  using my css = {} hash/object...  When I tried using it with
  classnames, similarly to padding, it only seemed to partially work.

  Then I changed my css = {} hash/object to just deal with borders:

          if (this.getValue().toLowerCase() == sort) {
             this.value = done;
             css.border = 1px solid red;
          }
          else {
             this.value = sort;
             css.border = 5px dotted blue;
          }

  ... this works fine.. so, it appears that Morph can't handle certain
  css properties.

  .. Oh and of course, if I change my:

  children.each(function(e){
             new Effect.Morph(e, {style: css, duration: .5});
          });

  to:

  children.invoke('setStyle', css);

  then all of my changes are exactly as they should be-- but I really
  wanted to have some animation.

  Hi David.

  It promotes the same problem though .. If i listen for
  mouseover/mouseout
  on
  the element once the mouse goes out of it then it will hide the results
  element anyway!..

   Hi alex,

   If I have understand, you could mix the focus/blur with a mouseover/
   mouseout even, because when you receive focus, and scroll, you are
   during a mouseover, and when not over, northing has to be done.
   Or somethink like that ?

   Does it gives you idea ?

   Morning people.

   Got a slight issue with IE and focus / blur.

   I have a suggestive searchbox that observes keyup and does its
   thing... This all works fine.

   There is a height with overflow:auto on it to allow users to scroll
   through multiple results to find the correct result and be able to
   select it.

   I have just added a(n) observer for focus / blur of the input element
   that hides the results element on blur and shows them on re-focus of
   the element.

   This all works fine in firefox but does not work in webkit/IE.. It
   works as much as blurring and focusing does hide the element but if i
   try to scroll down the Results element it sees the focus is lost
   and
   hides it!..

   What i am trying to replicate is to see what is being focussed /
   pressed when this is occuring and if its the Results element then
   to
   not show or hide the Results element.

   Hope i explained that well and i am sure someone has come across this
   before.

   All relevant help appreciated

   Alex

 Hi Alex,
 I'm sorry, I did not understand your problem.
 I use it with margin and it seems to work and define all margin with
 the specified length.

  Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Major frustrations with Effect.Morph

   Ok, so I can't seem to win...  It appears to me that Effect.Morph is
   full of bugs.

   I have been trying my hardest to get morph to work with padding-- and
   it doesn't behave properly...

   document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {

        $$('input.sort_children').invoke('observe', 'click', function()
   {
           var css = {};
           var children = this.next('div').immediateDescendants(); //
   this selects an array of divs

   // toggle the button state
           if (this.getValue().toLowerCase() == sort) {
              this.value = done;
              css.padding = 0px;
           }
           else {
              this.value = sort;
              css.padding = 50px;
           }

           children.each(function(e){
              new Effect.Morph(e, {style: css, duration: .5});
           });

         });
   });

   when I click my sort button, I immediately see it change to done but
   nothing happens..  I click it again.. it goes back to sort.. nothing
   happens.. I click it a 3rd time, and suddenly the padding morph
   happens.

   I then tried using css = 'classname1' and css = 'classname2'...  Then
   when I clicked it, it would set the padding to 0 properly and morph
   it... but when i'd click it a 2nd time, it would do something weird
   that look like it set the padding to 5 and then it dropped down to 0
   again...

   ...  I also was trying to set the display properties from 'inline-
   block' to 'block'.. and that did not work at all either when I was
   using my css = {} hash/object...  When I tried using it with
   classnames, similarly to padding, it only seemed to partially work.

   Then I changed my css = {} hash/object to just deal with borders:

           if (this.getValue().toLowerCase() == sort) {
              this.value = done;
              css.border = 1px solid red;
           }
           else {
              this.value = sort;
              css.border = 5px dotted blue;
           }

   ... this works fine.. so, it appears that Morph can't handle certain
   css properties.

   .. Oh and of course, if I change my:

   children.each(function(e){
              new Effect.Morph(e, {style: css, duration: .5});
           });

   to:

   children.invoke('setStyle', css);

   then all of my changes are exactly as they should be-- but I really
   wanted to have some animation.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Limit in parameter lenght at Ajax.Request?

2009-10-09 Thread david

Hi Frank,
there is a limit if the request is GET. This limit is around 2500 char
(don't remember the exact length).
This is a browser limitation, not prototype one.

But in case you are in a POST request, there should have no
limitation !

Couls you send us more info on this problem, like the code, an exemple
of data that don't work, and if possible, a live example.

 Hi all,

 I'm trying to send the text from a textarea via the Ajax.Request

 exceeds 6000 characters it seems not to work. Is there a limit
 somewhere? I can't find anything about that in the API Doc.

 Thanks for any help!
