[Rails-core] Prototype.js needs a couple more people with commit?

2006-08-10 Thread Peter Michaux
Hi, I have been watching for any development in Prototype.js. The last time I was able to check Rails trac (which seems to be down now), it has been a long time since any substantial changes were to Prototype.js. Sam Stevenson seems to be the sole maintainer but his elusiveness makes this feel li

2006-07-23 Thread Peter Michaux
Hi, I can't seem to make a new ticket on trac so I've attached is a pretty simple patch for the inflector docs. I found a couple minor bugs in these docs and added a few extra examples were appropriate. I haven't figured out how to unit test docs yet. Hopefully that's ok :) Peter enhanced_inf

Hi, If I have controllers that inherit actions and helper methods then why not views that "inherit" templates and partials? I've been trying to DRY up my code and make it more REST friendly after the fallout of DHH's "A World of Resources" slides and blog post. With a move towards more RESTful c

Hi, How would people feel about an error_message_on helper? <%= f.label_for :name %> <%= f.text_field :name %> <%= f.error_message_on :name %> I think it would be nice if this returned the error message in a so all messages could be styled easily and consistently. Peter _

Hi, I found a plugin on the web for a label helper and modified it to be more like the rails core form elements behave (errors etc). I really think this could be good to DRY forms especially with the new CRUD for everything and likely more reliance on scaffolding. In my _form.rhtml partial I can
