[Proto-Scripty] Re: HTTP OPTION REQUEST with FireFox 3.5

Omar, can you try rewriting this code to use the native XmlHttpRequest API? If that version works, then the problem definitely lies with Prototype, and I'll open a bug for this. Cheers, Andrew On Aug 5, 4:30 pm, 0m4r wrote: > Hi All, > > I have a strange behavior with a pice of code I wrote usi

[Proto-Scripty] Re: function in prototype

Here's one quick way to cut down on duplication: function applyCheckboxBehavior(checkboxes, toggleControl) { toggleControl.observe('click', function() { checkboxes.each( function(box) { box.checked = toggleControl.checked; }); }); } applyCheckbo

[Proto-Scripty] Re: event.observer oncontextmenu

You want to call "event.preventDefault()" in your handler. This prevents the default action (showing the context menu, in this case) from happening. Cheers, Andrew On Oct 3, 1:20 am, "Maikel Punie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hmm, > > it seems that i was not verry clear in the explenation > > i

Script.aculo.us is a higher-level framework that deals with effects and UI components. Prototype is the analog to MooTools, and below is an (untested) example of how you'd do this with Prototype. (Keep in mind, though, that there's very little framework-specific code in here, and all frameworks wo

[Proto-Scripty] Re: location.hash and event handler/window event

What you really need is something like RSH [1] or YUI's Browser History Manager [2]. The former is library-agnostic and the latter has few dependencies on YUI, if I recall. Libraries like these are built to work across browsers with use-cases like bookmarking, using the back button, and so on. I'

Sadly, no. You can mixin any number of objects (like Enumerable), but only one class. On Oct 13, 11:05 am, buda wrote: > I need to create class which is inhereted from enumerable module, > sortable class and observable class > Is it possible in one operation call? -- You received this message b

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Stopping events using Prototype 1.6.1 in IE9 / how compatible is Prototype 1.7 with 1.6.1?

IE 9 makes major changes to the event system. We had to rewrite the event code in 1.7 to support it. You can either (a) upgrade to 1.7; (b) force your site into compatibility mode [1]. I highly recommend option A. If it's not a seamless upgrade, option B is there as a last resort. Cheers, Andrew
