scriptaculous is a UI framework built on top of prototype, you can find information about scriptaculous at http://script.aculo.us/. But here in this context, I think scriptaculous is not relevant. prototype is enough for this statement to function correctly: $('rating').update('Thanks for rating

Hi, I have publish a UI control named scrodicator... FWIW, and it's likely just the 13 year-old boy in me, but scrodicator sounds vaguely crude to (this) native English speaker... Perhaps scrolldicator? Hi, I've created a video clip to demonstrate what scrodicator is. Why not just create a

Hi Mr. T.J.Crowder I really don't get you on FWIW, and it's likely just the 13 year-old boy in me. But anyway thanks for the naming suggestion, I can change the name from scrodicator to scrolldicator, if it sounds more polite to native English speakers. Yes I am going to create a demo page in

hi Stefan, This is the result of removing prototype from Event.prototype.key. Please DO NOT DO it if you want to keep the tool working. I have tried T.J.'s suggestion about the IE problem, it's already gone. However there is another problem in IE8: I tried to clone the form input and found i

Hi, Step 2 requires a sleep or delay time of 100ms. Two ways you can do this below. I recommend the second over the first. 1. If you *really* want to refresh the entire page (like a normal form submit), when the user clicks the submit button you can show your updating database message, set up

Hi, I can change the name from scrodicator to scrolldicator, if it sounds more polite to native English speakers. It does to *this* native speaker; I can't speak for everyone. Hopefully other people are more mature. :-) -- T.J. On Mar 21, 10:15 am, green greenlaw...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Mr.

Hi Green, Not sure if I'm too late with this suggestion, but have you considered using a data attribute e.g. data-mask for specifying the mask? http://www.javascriptkit.com/dhtmltutors/customattributes.shtml You might mess up screen readers by using the alt attribute. Cheers On Mar 21, 5:24
