[Proto-Scripty] document.viewport.getScrollOffsets() and document.observe('dom:loaded'...) do not work in IE6?

2009-01-24 Thread silverweb
Hi! I'm struggling with some script, and I cannot make document.viewport.getScrollOffsets() and document.observe ('dom:loaded'...) get to work in IE6 as they do in FireFox... My doctype is: !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd

If you have two fields named passwd, but with unique IDs, what will you do at the server to sort them out? At best, you're going to receive an array as the value of passwd, with index 0 being the first instance of that field name in your source order, and passwd[1] being the second,

Some time ago I played with prototype to make it more other frameworks friendly. So I wrapped all prototype.js code in closure, and in the end just pass to the window all needed objects defined by prototype, I excluded some objects like - Abstract, Field, Form, Try, Insertation, witch I think

[Proto-Scripty] Garbage Collection in Javascript

This isn't specific to Prototype, but I figured this would be a good place to ask. I'm wondering how JS does garbage collection for objects created via new. I doesn't seem at all obvious to me how this works, especially since there is not (as far as I know) a way to destroy an object. Any
