Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: problem with Prototye and linux/apache2, php

[Alastair Young]

If you enter the URL of the php script directly into the browser address
bar does the server parse it as php?
Can you share the javascript that is making the ajax request?
In developer mode on your browser do you see any javascript errors?

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Is it vulnerable to Code Injection ? How is the risk level here?

[Phil Petree]

If I understand your question correctly,  prototype doest actually render
anything all it does is manipulate the page elements.  All the rendering is
done by the browser.

Im also not aware of any strings that would need to be internationalized.
If something goes wrong you get a JavaScript error.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: addClassName and removeClassName don´t work

[Joseph Lust]

Ran into this issue on Prototype 1.5.1 and IE8.

The error is in the array without() function in IE8. without() should 
return an empty array if the array sans element is empty, or the array with 
that element removed.

In IE8, if there are no elements left in the array after the target element 
is removed, *undefined* is returned, breaking anything chained after that.

  remove: function(classNameToRemove) {
if (!this.include(classNameToRemove)) return;
this.set($A(this).*without(classNameToRemove)*.join(' '));
  },

The actual source was that without() internally uses each() to iterate 
across the elements, but the DOMAssistant library have overwritten 
Element.each(). The new version could not catch the breaks that are thrown 
by Prototype to escape from deep nested iterators, and hence the error. 
Thus, the two libs should not be used in conjunction. It seems that other 
browsers don't overwrite the Element.each() method when loading the two 
libs like IE does.



Sincerely,
Joseph

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Need Help With Prototype Selectors API

[Jason Westbrook]

If you want to select any elements that are child of a specific element you
can do so like this

$('myparentelement').select('span');

will select all spans that are children of the element with id
myparentelement

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: How to prevent doubleclicking on links

[Jason Westbrook]

What you are probably detecting is not just the double click event but a
second click event that is delayed enough from the original click to cause
a new click event

so what I propose is to identify if you are currently running the click
handler then either stop() the 2nd event or return inside the handler

Thanks for looking at this...

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: AJAX Tabs Widget

[Phil Petree]

Victor,

Thanks for the links... I'd already seen control.tabs and it doesn't appear
to support ajax (if it does its not documented and the api makes no
reference to it).

The one on sourceforge appears to be a fork of the control.tabs and also I
do see references to ajax in the source, it has no documentation or
examples and I'm afraid its beyond my abilities to decipher it.

The tabs.js I was using was working well but I hit a snag in it in that it
has no callback after the ajax onSuccess so I have no ability to trigger
other events... not sure what the workaround is... the author has an
afterOpen: callback but it doesn't get called on new tabs with an ajax load.

Not sure where I will go from here... may switch the entire project to
jq... may have to in order to meet the lauch date (2/1/2013) this seems
to be the sticking point however as all the other functionality is stubbed
in.

I was able to dig this one out of archive.org and I rewrote it a bit -
added a jsfiddle so that people can play with it etc


https://github.com/jwestbrook/Prototype.3DImageReflection


Just look at all of my github repos - they are all PrototypeJS libraries

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Prototype Ajax.Request POST failure in Internet Explorer 8

[Parikshit Tiwari]

epoch,
How were you able to send the handshake? what did you do to send out 
the handshake was it something in the json packet that caused the browser 
to think that it was a response from the auth server? Please let me know, 
because I am facing a similar issue with IE8 and my server also uses LDAP 
server for authentication. 

Thanks,
Parik

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Hi, new to group. Having an issue with visible() method. any suggestions?

[Peter Sysko]

Thanks Dave, I'm still not sure why my visible() comparison wrapper was 
registering as null when i originally first attempted to perform the 
functions, because that looks something like what I first tried.

Thanks again to Jason suggestions to use a Hash, I have since modified the 
interface to utilize two hashes, one for the systems, and one for the 8 
modules of each system. the relatively stable navigational interface is 
working mostly how I want it now. http://monkeypanelcom/demo

To answer your OP directly (not sure if it has been, I didn't notice it).

   open_div = 'system'+k+'';
   ...
   if ($(open_div).visible()==true) {

if there is no item with id 'system'+k then $(open_div) returns null
(correctly) and so $(open_div).visible() throws an error. (for example
if nothing has "id='system123'" then when k-123 the error wiil throw)

You can avoid it with:

   if ($(open_div)) {
   if ($(open_div).visible()==true) {

fpr what its worth, these are some the handler functions I have created.
 the logic s fine, but your suggestion is much less work, it seems, 
and there are a few bugs which i commented out. i am not an expert in JS, 
its not veryintuitive for me

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Hi, new to group. Having an issue with visible() method. any suggestions?

[Peter Sysko]

right, i found it: http://api.prototypejs.org/language/dollar-H/
i am used to the idea of assuming zero data persistence in a runtime 
environment
so i'm not sure how this works outside the function scope. in php you have 
to serialize variables,
use a global or superglobal array, use database, files, etc. on a client im 
used to seeing cookies
being used, I am just wondering what the scope limit of this use is, as i 
am used to treating 
javacsript variables scope at function level only, passing them being 
required with get and setter methods
 I'll try the $H idea and see how it works. Thanks again

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Hi, new to group. Having an issue with visible() method. any suggestions?

[Jason Westbrook]

to be clear - the example I put is not a javascript array but a Prototype
Hash

you should be able to do the same thing with a javascript array though

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Hi, new to group. Having an issue with visible() method. any suggestions?

[Jason Westbrook]

I've never had a problem with putting variables into the $() function

but I do have a suggestion for keeping your open/minimized/closed panels
straight

try declaring a global array or hash and using that as the status variable
- all the javascript functions can use it natively and you don't have to do
the expensive splitting every time you want to know what panels are open

example

var panels = new Hash({"system100" : "M", "system101":"U"}); //etc

//then

panels.get("system"+id);
//or
panels.set("system"+id,"U");

you can even initialize it easily

for(var t = 100 ; t <= 132 ; t++)
{
   panels.set("system"+t,"U");
}

How exactly events are attached? With element.observe() or element.on()? 
Directly to element or to one of its ancestors (with event delegation)? If 
event observer is attached with element.on() then there is no possibility 
to distinct one observer from another - we can check that some observer is 
attached to desired event, but cannot prove that this is our observer. It 
event delegation is used then things are much worse - we can check just 
that some observer is attached to e.g. blur event on ancestor of element 
under test.

I could simplify event cache parser to this code:

for (var e in Event.cache) {
  var event = Event.cache[e];
  if (event.element === YOUR_ELEMENT) {
var handlers = event.blur;
if (handlers.length > 0) {
  // possible match - at least someone is observing blur event
}
for (var i = 0, len = handlers.length; i < len; i++) {
  if (handlers[i].handler === YOUR_OBSERVER) {
// perfect match, does not work with element.on()
  }
}
  }
}

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: from 1.6.0.1 to 1.7.1: alternative to Event.cache and ._eventID?

[dipnlik]

I use this check in a jasmine spec to ensure a newly created element
has attached events.  The element is supposed to have events attached
to keydown and blur, and altough right now I'm not exactly testing
that, at least I could test that the element had attached events.  If
there are better ways to test that, I'd love to know.

Will take a look at VisualEvents soon, maybe that'll be useful in my
test environment.  Thanks!

You cannot use document.write() after your initial page is finished loading 
(in other words you cannot use document.write in fragments requested via 
AJAX). You should use DOM manipulation methods like Element#insert() or 
Element#update().

 Jim,

 Did Jason's code not work?

 And you're right, the examples and docs totally suck... it's like
 trying to decipher some secret code that someone forgot to let the rest of
 us "normal" programmers in on.
  The purpose of AJAX calls is to reduce bandwidth and server hits by
 reducing the number of page hits.  It's easier, cheaper, faster to just
 send the data the user needs vs the entire page.

 Prototype has two functions for Ajax calls: Ajax.Updater and
 Ajax.Request. I stopped using Ajax.Updater for anything other than single
 element updates.

 Breaking down an Ajax.Request call for you it would look something like
 this:

   var options = {
 method: 'post',
 parameters: $('myform').serialize(),
 onSuccess: success_function,
 onFailure: ajax_err,
 on0: ajax_err
   };
   new Ajax.Request( url+".php", options );
 function success_function(transport)
 {
   var json = transport.responseText.**evalJSON(true);

   // php would return:
   // $options = Array('status' => "OK", 'text' => "OK");
   // $output = json_encode($options);
   // echo $output;
   // it's the status in the Array we're checking...
   if(json.status == "OK")
   {
 // do stuff
 $(activeButton).replace('Subscribed');
   }
 }
 function ajax_err(transport)
 {
   alert("An AJAX error occurred: " +transport.statusText);
 }

 Thanks Phil, 

 I do want to call a javascript function.
 But let me try to simplify my problem.

 Here is a page . . . 
 
 
 new Ajax.Updater('myDiv', 'XYZ.html', {evalScripts: true}) ;
 

 Here is the page being called . . . 
 
 sayHi = function(){
  alert ('Hi');
 };
 
 
  This will work, in the sense that myDiv will remain and the alert 
 will display.

 My problem is that if I replace *alert* with *document.write* then the 
 page gets replaced with a new page.  I thought the idea behind 
 AJAX.Updater 
 was to replace the DIV with new data, or in this case the result of the 
 function. *So in my newbie logic the DIV should get replaced with the 
 text generated by document.write.?  *


 I have tried to figure what you mean by using onSuccess, but I fail to 
 get the right syntax, and it's very hard to find in the docs.  I assume 
 you 
 mean to call the function as part of the onSuccess parameters.  However 
 the 
 example above does seem to execute the function from called page, it's 
 just 
 that it works with alert but not document.write and this is doesn't make 
 sense to me (yet).

 Thanks Phil,

 I do want to call a javascript function.
 But let me try to simplify my problem.

 Here is a page . . .
 
 
 new Ajax.Updater('myDiv', 'XYZ.html', {evalScripts: true}) ;
 

 Here is the page being called . . .
 
 sayHi = function(){
  alert ('Hi');
 };
 
 
  This will work, in the sense that myDiv will remain and the alert
 will display.

 My problem is that if I replace *alert* with *document.write* then the
 page gets replaced with a new page.  I thought the idea behind AJAX.Updater
 was to replace the DIV with new data, or in this case the result of the
 function. *So in my newbie logic the DIV should get replaced with the
 text generated by document.write.?  *


 I have tried to figure what you mean by using onSuccess, but I fail to
 get the right syntax, and it's very hard to find in the docs.  I assume you
 mean to call the function as part of the onSuccess parameters.  However the
 example above does seem to execute the function from called page, it's just
 that it works with alert but not document.write and this is doesn't make
 sense to me (yet).

setting the content of an element via the innerHTML property was deprecated
for the $("elmentid").update(content) function. Or by using
the $("elmentid").insert(content) function if appropriate.

 normal process is:
 onSuccess: call a function that processes the incoming data
 onFailure: tell the user what happened

 what gets "passed" is data.
 what gets "called" are functions.

 having code in an external file indicates to me you want to call a
 function.

 I think a little more clarity might help us help you.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: run function with AJAX.Updater

[Phil Petree]

Jim,

Did Jason's code not work?

And you're right, the examples and docs totally suck... it's like trying to
decipher some secret code that someone forgot to let the rest of us
"normal" programmers in on.
 The purpose of AJAX calls is to reduce bandwidth and server hits by
reducing the number of page hits.  It's easier, cheaper, faster to just
send the data the user needs vs the entire page.

Prototype has two functions for Ajax calls: Ajax.Updater and Ajax.Request.
I stopped using Ajax.Updater for anything other than single element
updates.

Breaking down an Ajax.Request call for you it would look something like
this:

  var options = {
method: 'post',
parameters: $('myform').serialize(),
onSuccess: success_function,
onFailure: ajax_err,
on0: ajax_err
  };
  new Ajax.Request( url+".php", options );
function success_function(transport)
{
  var json = transport.responseText.evalJSON(true);

  // php would return:
  // $options = Array('status' => "OK", 'text' => "OK");
  // $output = json_encode($options);
  // echo $output;
  // it's the status in the Array we're checking...
  if(json.status == "OK")
  {
// do stuff
$(activeButton).replace('Subscribed');
  }
}
function ajax_err(transport)
{
  alert("An AJAX error occurred: " +transport.statusText);
}

Thanks Phil, 

I do want to call a javascript function.
But let me try to simplify my problem.

Here is a page . . .

This will work, in the sense that myDiv will remain and the alert will

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: run function with AJAX.Updater

[Jason Westbrook]

I think I know what is going on

in the first example - everything runs as normal and nothing happens
because you are just declaring a function in the external script - the
function is not called - plus getLottoNumber() is not defined

the second example you are requesting a javascript file - but are sending a
html snippet, 

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: run function with AJAX.Updater

[Phil Petree]

then perhaps we're not understanding what you mean by "passed"

normal process is:
onSuccess: call a function that processes the incoming data
onFailure: tell the user what happened

what gets "passed" is data.
what gets "called" are functions.

having code in an external file indicates to me you want to call a function.

I think a little more clarity might help us help you.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Image Uploader / Thumbnail creator

[Phil Petree]

Thin,

Thanks, that's a really great find... I'll work on adding that in over the
next week or so.

Greg shared his image uploader (iframe) code and was very patient and
helped me get that up and running... it was quite tricky as the json
response to an iframe had some very unexpected results.

We now have a css/div popup that prompts for an image, on submit it uploads
the image via a hidden iframe, the server storage code updates mysql,
stores the image on disk, sends some json back to the client with the new

This is awesome thank-you so much for the help.

Subject: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Help with element.setattribute

 

Hello!

 

You can do it in many ways:

 

1. Create an empty placeholder for hidden input (div at the bottom of your
form). You can then easily replace content of this div and don't care about
multiple inputs:

 

addElement: function () {

$("totalsContainer").update('');

}

 

2. Create this hidden input in your form on server (in other words, input
should always exist), then just replace its value:

 

addElement: function () {

$("finaltons").setValue(totaltotal);

}

 

3. Combine both ways: check for existence of element (if not exists - then
create it), then update its value:

 

addElement: function () {

var input = $("finaltons");

if (!input) {

  input = new Element({type: "hidden", id: "finaltons"});

  $("formtons").insert(input);

}

input.setValue(totaltotal);

}

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: uploading a file to a server.

[Jason Westbrook]

Here is a simple Sample of Ajax upload using the HTML5 File API

frontend javascript
=
$("fileupload").observe("change",handleupload);

function handleupload( e )
{
var el = e.findElement();
new
Ajax.Request("backend.php?uploadfile=1",{"method":"post","postBody":el.files[0],"onSuccess":returnupload});
}

backend.php
=
if(isset($_GET['uploadfile']))
{
$uploaded_file = file_get_contents("php://input");
file_put_contents("/tmp/myfilename",$uploaded_file);
}

=

You can also add other events to the Ajax call to see upload progress as
well, but again will not work with IE - works in Firefox/Chrome/Safari
though

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Prototype v1.6.0.2 - Changing $ Dollar Currency to £ Sterling

[Walter Lee Davis]

Check again to be certain that the text editor you are using saves in UTF-8 (No 
BOM) format. You may be sending the right header, but the wrong code-points. It 
may look fine in your editor because of silent charset munging. (Attached is 
not using your actual calculation code, just a simple string replacement. It 
works here, and from my server http://scripty.walterdavisstudio.com/price.html )

This is a potential problem source. Can you locate the php.ini file, and see 
precisely what value is set for the default_charset value? By default, this is 
set to empty, and that kicks the can up to Apache, which may not be configured 
to send Unicode by default.

What do you see if you use a static HTML file, viewed locally (file / open), 
with the charset mime tag set to utf-8 -- instead of viewing from your server?

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Prototype v1.6.0.2 - Changing $ Dollar Currency to £ Sterling

[Walter Lee Davis]

Is your code saved in UTF-8, and does your server send it under a Content-type 
header including that charset? yourString.gsub('$','£') should just work as 
long as your surrounding page is Unicode.

Thanks very much for the added detail. I filed an issue on the Github project

XHR without setRequestHeader sends usual 'GET' request:

Request URL: http://zip.elevenbasetwo.com/?zip=a
Request Method: GET
Status Code: 404 Not Found
*Request Headers*
Accept: */*
Accept-Charset: windows-1251,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3

Content-Type: text/plain

XHR with any setRequestHeader sends first 'OPTIONS' request (so-called 
preflight
):

It seems that some browsers (like Firefox and WebKit-based) may send CORS 
requests without preflight for text/plain resources when no additional 
headers are set. In other cases they send preflighted 'OPTIONS' request, 
which is not implemented in this 'BaseHTTP/0.3 Python/2.7.1+' server.

Thanks very much for the suggestion. It looks as though ANY setRequestHeader 
invocation at all is enough to scuttle the request. I tried commenting one, 
then two, then all of them out. Without those three lines, the request works 
fine -- even with the null in the send. But add any one of them back, and the 
request fails. It seems to be an issue on their server (BaseHTTP/0.3 
Python/2.7.1+ according to FireBug). I'll file a bug and see what happens.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request fails, while vanilla XHR works fine

[Walter Lee Davis]

I understand the SOP, I was wondering why it worked when I violated SOP from a 
hard-coded XHR request. Under the hood, it is my understanding that Prototype 
sets up a very similar XHR request anyway. It doesn't make any sense that the 
one would work while the other did not. This server is specifically kinked to 
allow a request such as this, or else the SOP would cause it to fail no matter 
what. Can anyone point out the flaw in my logic here?

Hi Lallo,

I'm not sure that I entirely understand what you are attempting to
accomplish and how removing the title attribute is working for you.
When I go to the provided page and attempt to inspect it, I see a lot
of title attributes being rapidly added and removed from the div
containing the calendar item.

Nevertheless, let's say you have the following:


   
 7:00 pm​Mayan Elder
   


the following script will do what I think you want to accomplish:


function removeThatAnchor() {
   var innerDiv = $('foo').select('.ms-acal-sdiv')[0];
   var aToRemove = innerDiv.select('a')[0];
   var aText = aToRemove.innerHTML;
   aToRemove.remove();
   innerDiv.update(innerDiv.innerHTML + " " + aText);}

1. You cannot use the name `Error` - there is already global object named 
Error.
 
Try with another name.
2. You can shorten your code a bit:
var User = Class.create({

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: IE8 + Prototype AJAX = HTTP Status 12019

[Phil Petree]

Unless you're getting paid by the hour, you loose nothing by temporarily
trying a later version of prototype.  Try eliminating the easy stuff before
working on the hard and you'll avoid that headslap moment that comes when
you realize you wasted two weeks for nothing.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Element.replace get top node of replaced content

[Walter Lee Davis]

There is no universal parent, not while there are tr, td, th, li, etc. in the 
mix of possible children. There are quite a few low-level elements that can 
only go in one or two possible parent tags, and nothing else will work.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Where is ver. 2.0 is coming?

[Victor]

Also CoffeeScript sometimes generates very ugly code. Example:

CoffeeScript:
SelectParser.select_to_array = (select) ->
  parser = new SelectParser()
  parser.add_node( child ) for child in select.childNodes
  parser.parsed

Generated JavaScript:
  SelectParser.select_to_array = function(select) {
var child, parser, _i, _len, _ref;
parser = new SelectParser();
_ref = select.childNodes;
for (_i = 0, _len = _ref.length; _i < _len; _i++) {
  child = _ref[_i];
  parser.add_node(child);
}
return parser.parsed;
  };

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Where is ver. 2.0 is coming?

[Walter Lee Davis]

CoffeeScript is nothing more than a compact and terse programming language to 
generate JavaScript. Think of it as HAML for JavaScript. When you use 
CoffeeScript, it gets compiled into JavaScript before it is served to the 
browser. It's not a framework, although there are some goodies to make certain 
constructions less painful to write, in the end, those painful constructions 
are generated in full (I'm looking at you, for loops). 

In contrast, Prototype extends the JavaScript language to give it those terse 
methods that we love, and under the hood, actually writes a whole shed-load of 
compatibility shims so we don't have to write such defensive code, even when 
faced with the beast that is IE. There is nothing like that in CoffeeScript.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Where is ver. 2.0 is coming?

[Pablo Aravena]

Is an object oriented language, and you can combine it with a selector
engine like jquery. I think is a good match for a migration, just my point
of view.

No worries, we have to start coding on this tomorrow ... if the 'default'
app does not work well in Android we will make adjustments as needed.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: mobile solution?

[Phil Petree]

Back in the beginning (we're talking the 80's here), I wrote my first piece
of code in 8086 assember and I've migrated to C (had one of the original
windows SDKs), C++, ASP, .NET over to PHP, javascript and prototype etc.
I'm not generally the swiftest coder out there but given enough time I can
generally figure out solutions to even the most complex of problems and I
can honestly say that SENCHA completely escapes me!  I couldn't get a
single one of their demos to work and it was nearly impossible to extend it
to anything remotely useful (i.e. capturing a users location). After
emailing people who claimed to have their ap up and running in 1 day and
learning it was marketing hype, I finally just walked away from it...

Scripty looked promising but it is being developed very slowly... painfully
so...

I've looked at a number of other "silver bullet" solutions and nothing
really exists.  I finally relented and hired a shop to write the mobile
apps.

It would be nice if someone would write a nice "device abstraction layer"
but I dont see that happening... at least not a freebie! LOL

You could then try this, if you wanted to force the issue:

...inside your click handler

if($(yourIframe).getHeight() < document.viewport.getHeight())
$(yourIframe).setStyle({height: document.viewport.getHeight() + 'px'});

There's actually two, equally valid, ways to do this. As you have written it, 
with a hash, and passing a string, where you actually do want to use the 
stylesheet format:

ary.invoke.('setStyle','border-right:none');

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: decisions decisions -- json - ajax - html and dom kungfu

[Jimmy Brake]

What you said is mostly true on both accounts. What I like about the
straight json method is I can dump pretty much all the data they would use
over the entire course of the session in just one response probably no more
than  40 k for really large data sets.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: decisions decisions -- json - ajax - html and dom kungfu

[Jimmy Brake]

Good thoughts and suggestions - thanks

I'll see if I can make a 'case' for the extra coding overhead.


   1. a gazillion connections if I have to send html in little pieces all
   the time - i am very very concerned about overloading the servers (total
   80cores - 160gigs of ram - ~500gigSSD - not shared 100meg connection -
   internal network between the nodes is gigabit) --- with the json method -
   we do the initial DB dump - then each selection is sent to the servers
   2. when the session starts I put the entire menu db (max 2100 items -
   average is only about 150 items) as a var in the page
   3. i use that data to draw the menus and the submenus(submenus are
   dynamically shown as a client selects them)
   4. once an item is selected it's displayed in the list of selected items
   -- i also tee that process and send a json packet to the server
   5. we are only supporting ipads

Make sense? -- if not let me know ..

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: decisions decisions -- json - ajax - html and dom kungfu

Also, the use of templates may be a better option, especially if you
are populating pre-defined fragments.

Just supply the data to the template evaluator and insert it into the DOM.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: troubleshooting scriptalicious/mysql/php...

[Joel B]

Well, I finally got it working. Instead of trying to adapt the scripts to my 
database, I adapted my database to work with the scripts by changing some of my 
field names to match the field names in the example database. 

This took me so much longer than I expected, was about to give up when I 
thought of doing that. Leaned a whole bunch about PHP, JavaScript and MySql 
while working on this, so it was worth the frustration.

The rules exist and I have a width of 50px set already.

It is something that works for me.

I've no idea if this will be useful, but just to explain some background.

I have a page which displays about 100 company names in columns
(rather than in rows). To achieve this, knowing the maximum width of
the elements was required and then setting the CSS width for that
style so all were styled correctly.

IE, FF and Chrome supported.

Also, I use a CSS and JS combinator, so I only have 1 JS and CSS file request.

Working on using a single image one also, so 4 loads per page (HTML,
CSS, JS and IMG). CSS, JS and IMG are cached, so page loading is a LOT
faster and server load WAY down.

But I digress ...

function sizeElements(o_Container)
{
console.group('sizeElements(', arguments, ')');

// Set the size on formInput labels and scrollBox labels
// Siblings only.
['.formInput > label', '.scrollBox > label'].each
(
function(s_CSS)
{
console.group('sizeElements.each(', arguments, ')');

// Size the labels to the widest.
var i_LargestLabel = o_Container.select(s_CSS +
':not(.nonSpacing):not(.shortNonSpacing)').invoke('getWidth').max();

// If there was a size, then update the container's CSS 
rule.
if ( i_LargestLabel != undefined)
{
var o_CSS = window.document.styleSheets[0];
var o_CSSRules = (o_CSS.cssRules) ? 
o_CSS.cssRules : o_CSS.rules;
var o_CSSRule =
o_CSSRules[$A(o_CSSRules).pluck('selectorText').invoke('toLowerCase').indexOf('#'
+ o_Container.id.toLowerCase() + ' ' + s_CSS.toLowerCase())];

o_CSSRule.style.width = i_LargestLabel + 'px';
}
console.groupEnd();
}
);

console.groupEnd();
}


Programmatically, I'm looking to set the width on the CSS rules of

.formInput > label
and
.scrollBox > label

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Form.Serialize returning nada

[Phil Petree]

obsolete attributes "should" be ignored.  I used the form name attribute as
a way of knowing which AJAX module to call on behalf of that form.  That
allows my dofill() to serve many forms.

I've seen very few pages of any type that validates 100% and browsers
accomodate this and that's one reason why there are soo many differences in
how browsers act on a given page.

In this case, it was working then we started getting complaints but they
were intermittent and finally we were able to narrow it down to a problem we
could duplicate and once duplicated it was easy to find (but harder to fix).

By changing the doctype, none of our pages will validate at this point but
that's another issue that we'll fix in the next major release.

When I posted the original question we had no idea why form.serialize was
failing and still dont think it should fail even if there was a $nbsp;
somewhere in the field. form.serialize should process each field and if data
is present, serialize it and if not skip it.  A div or field with a space
should not matter.

Like I said though, the key is not just in changing the doctype but you also
have to force compatibility mode.  This, to me, is a greater issue as
it indicates a bug somewhere in either IE9 or prototype... but regardless of
where it is, it causes prototype to fail.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Form.Serialize returning nada

[Victor]

Problem is somehow related to XHTML and IE9.

If you occasionally serve document as xhtml+xml, document should pass 
validation to work in browser. I've noticed  in your 
example, but *name* attribute is obsolete for *form* tag in XHTML1.0, or 
maybe you have * * somewhere in your markup.

You can invoke $('myform').serialize() in debugger console at any time - 
this may reveal some clues.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Rant - IE7 Sucks

[Marty Amberg]

maybe I  been doing this too long, i think standard ie9.  But up on the 
top right is a gear which opens developer tools or f12 and once in you 
can change the the mode of the browser mode or document mode on the top 
bar.  Most of my issues have always been the cache on  ie7 and ie8 too. 
   I think explorer now has a decent set of tools.

Perhaps you did this already but I  have found it useful if you can, and 
you need to run w7, to use the debugger on ie9,set it to ie7 mode and 
see what happens.  I have had lots of things not run smoothly on w7 and 
work fine otherwise.


good luck

OK, so IE7.  I have a class and I mixin an object called SimpleForms. 
 These methods are not available in the intialize method for the 
class. So,


var myClass = Class.create(SimpleForms, {
initialize: function() {
  this.SimpleForms_Method('xyz');'
}
});

Code errors on the call to: this.SimpleForms_Method in IE7 only.  Is 
this an IE7 issue?  Is this a Prototype bug, or know IE7 limitation?

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Form.Serialize returning nada

[Phil Petree]

Colin, thanks for taking the time to look.  Yes, the form has some hidden
fields with data (user must be logged in to access this particular form).

I found the problem...  fixed it about 8 minutes ago, had to update the
entire site!

The problem only surfaces under IE9.  If you click into compatibility mode
the problem goes away.

Our doctype WAS defined as:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
And the serialize failed.

I changed several things:
The doctype now reads:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>

Which in and of itself did NOT fix the problem.

So I forced compatibility mode using:


This solved the problem.

Backing back out to the original doctype with the forced compatibility mode
and the problem resurfaced.

Maybe someone a whole lot smarter than me will be able to figure out a real
solution for someone else! LOL

RE: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Future of Prototyp.js

[wwwboy]

Hi T.J.

With the speed of which modern browsers release updates and move toward HTML5 - 
I think there will be no significant differences between them in a year.
IE8 will not be alive in a year in the light of Windows8 with IE10 and 
canceling support XP - so there will be IE9 and IE10 which a close to other 
browsers.
An optional ability to build library without of support of old browsers will be 
the big advance for most developers - small size, fast execution!
At least there might be two versions of the library - for supporting old 
browsers - 1.7 and for modern - 2.0 :)

Whether IE6 remains relevant depends a great deal on where you look and whom 
you're targeting. If you look at the figures on http://ie6countdown.com, you 
see that if you're targeting east asia, you'd be an idiot not to support IE6. 
Similarly, that 2.2% in the UK is a misleading figure, because although small 
in itself, it consists of very large government departments -- so if your 
site/application is targeted at those departments, you're still stuck with IE6 
support. You get the idea. :-)

Where are you getting that information? There still remain significant and 
problematic differences between browsers from different vendors.
Heck, IE8 (nearly 30% of the desktop market[1]) and below don't even support 
`addEventListener`, making Prototype's handling of that difference very 
important indeed. Yes, in a year I'd expect IE9 to be much higher on that list 
than it is currently because even Microsoft users are getting the idea of 
updating more often, but I suspect IE8 will still be above it.

Separately, I think the premise that most of Prototype is about working around 
outdated browser differences is (respectfully) incorrect. Most of Prototype is 
around adding useful utility functionality. Some of it is about smoothing out 
differences (such as how opacity is specified in various browsers), but mostly 
it's about simplifying and expanding on what's common across browsers (for 
instance, the DOM navigation stuff).

My two cents. :-)

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Adding CSS-Rules to a styletag in Prototype

[Luke]

Thanks, Joe T.

Walter: The problem is, that on my page the user can add/remove contents and 
also change the styles of those contents dynamically using JS. Now if you 
set a Style to certain elements, either via changing the style-tag or adding 
a class-name and *afterwards* add content, that content won't be styled. Of 
course, I save the applied style-settings in my backend and so I could apply 
the style-definitions when I generate the added content, but that maybe that 
might not be the case anymore in the future and also it's easier to set a 
style-definition in a style tag, rather than doing the backend-thing.

If you add something to `Object.prototype`, it shows up on *every* object.
So for instance:

Object.prototype.foo = function() {
return "bar";
};
var a = {};
console.log(typeof a.foo);
// -> "function"
for (var name in a) {
console.log(name);
}
// -> "foo"

To put it mildly, this causes a problem because people expect a blank object
to be, um, blank. And in fact, you see people repeatedly running into
problems with Prototype's additions to `Array.prototype` because they're
using `for..in` incorrectly[1][2]. Compare the output of this page:
http://jsbin.com/ajiyal
with this one:
http://jsbin.com/ajiyal/2

The code is identical in the two pages, it's just that the second one
includes Prototype and the first one doesn't. Since Prototype adds a bunch
of `Array.prototype` properties, they show up on that naive
(broken) `for..in` loop.

As of ECMAScript5 it's possible to put properties on `Object.prototype` (and
`Array.prototype`) that *won't* break naive `for..in` loops by using
`Object.defineProperty` and setting `enumerable` to `false`, but there's
still the problem that people expect a blank object to be blank. And so if
(for instance) you put a `keys` property on `Object.prototype` that refers
to a function that returns the object's keys, but I have code where I use a
`keys` property on an object to mean something else entirely (very likely,
and in fact I *have* done it), there's a problem. For that reason, the list
of properties defined for `Object.prototype` in the spec[3] is very short
and likely to stay that way, in favor of properties defined on `Object` that
you pass an instance into (like `Object.keys`).
