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 [1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1014666/force-ie8-into-ie7-compatiblity-mode/1014690#1014690 On Oct 15, 10:10 am, Luke lukas.bomb...@googlemail.com wrote: Hi, I'm currently trying to make my site compatible with IE9 and there's already a major problem. I'm using Prototype 1.6.1 and it seems events won't be stopped with Event.stop anymore in IE9. I've read on Stackoverflow [1] Prototype 1.7 fixes that problem but I'm not sure if I should update. Deadline's coming soon and I don't know how much of a problem updating Prototype will be. So here's my question: Is there a way to stop events in IE9 with Prototype 1.6.1 or would you recommend upgrading to Prototype 1.7? Would you say there are some things that could be problematic?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Stopping events ..
Hi,
Very strange but I'll take your word on it.
Although I can't say I understand why the object wouldn't throw its
submit event after executing the submit method.
Because by design, submitting a form programatically doesn't fire the
onsubmit event. I think this is on the theory that if you're doing it
with code, you've already done whatever checks you want to do. This
is not well documented as far as I can tell, but is the case on every
browser I've ever tried it on.

If another method, one that isn't handling the event called the submit

Event.stop(e) does indeed prevent event propagation. I would assume
that your code is hitting an exception before Event.stop is being
executed.
Try calling Event.stop() at the very beginning of the script, before
anything else, then if there are no errors, call event.form.submit()
to carry on with the original submit event.
@Walter: If you have a submit handler that executes the object's

Wouldn't the idea be, catch the submit event, validate the fields, if
all is valid, allow the event to proceed, if its not then stop the
event.
function handleLoad(){
$(myForm).observe(submit, function(e){
var invalidArr = $(myForm).select(input.req, textarea.req,
select.req).findAll(function(element){ return element.value != });
if(invalidArr.length 0){
e.stop(); //prototype 1.6 code to event stop.
handleInvalids(invalidArr )

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Stopping events ..
Here's my test:
//valid page wrapped around this, latest prototype linked from google.
form action= id=foo method=get accept-charset=utf-8
pinput type=submit value=Test//p
/form
divpa href=# id=barTest Submit/a/p/div
script type=text/javascript charset=utf-8
$('foo').observe('submit',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
console.log(evt.element().id);
alert(evt.element().id)
$('foo').submit();
});
$('bar').observe('click',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
$('foo').submit();
})
/script
Clicking on the form button fires the alert and reports that 'foo' was
the event element there and in the console. Clicking on a#bar submits
the form without passing Go, collecting $200, or anything else
console- or alert-related happening.
Tested in Firefox 2.latest and Safari 3.latest.

So the crazy thing is if i remove it from the Event.observe(window
wrapper it seems to work and if i functionise it and place the function
outside the wrapper and add onsubmit=return theFunction(); to the form it
works
Not really to sure whats going on here but i would like to avoid inline JS
if i can - if it cant be done then i will haveto use inline

Just tested this assertion, and the following just submits the form,
as you'd expect, without a loop being created.
$('foo').observe('submit',function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
console.log('bar');
this.submit();
});

Event.stop(e) does indeed prevent event propagation. I would assume
that your code is hitting an exception before Event.stop is being
executed.
Try calling Event.stop() at the very beginning of the script, before
anything else, then if there are no errors, call event.form.submit()
to carry on with the original submit event.
@Walter: If you have a submit handler that executes the object's
submit event wouldn't this lead to an infinite loop?
Wouldn't the idea be, catch the submit event, validate the fields, if
all is valid, allow the event to proceed, if its not then stop the
event.
function handleLoad(){
$(myForm).observe(submit, function(e){
var invalidArr = $(myForm).select(input.req, textarea.req,
select.req).findAll(function(element){ return element.value != });
if(invalidArr.length 0){
e.stop(); //prototype 1.6 code to event stop.
handleInvalids(invalidArr )
}
});
}
Event.observe(window, load, handleLoad);

It still does not work with Event.stop(event); for some reason
i even tried changing the code to .
var error='';
$$('.req').each(function(e) {
if($(e).value=='') {
error+='Required';
}
});
if(error.length=1) {
alert(error)
Event.stop(event); // does not work
}
