[Rails-spinoffs] DOM traversal functions performance

Hello List, Has anyone had difficulties with the performance of Prototype's DOM traversal functions (Element#up, Element#down, etc.)? I'm building out a rather complex application with Ext and Prototype 1.6.0. When setting everything up, I will occasionally have to instantiate a few hundred obj

[Rails-spinoffs] Fire Native Browser Event

Hi Prototype people Is there a good way to fire the browser's native onchange event? Here's my situation. I am using prototype and lowpro. I have a text input box and some divs. When the user mousedown's on one div, numbers in the input box start changing. onmouseup, the numbers stop changing

Eric, doesn't extending elements directly solve the problem? someElement.foo = 'bar'; I also happen to use custom Element#setProperty quite often: http://github.com/kangax/protolicious/tree/master/element.methods.js#L89 It's convenient in a context of iterators: $(someElement).setProperty('foo

This is a modification of those classes. You have to reattach the draggable to the body in order for it to "float" outside of divs that hide their overflow (eg. where you have divs that are scrollable independent of the window). The problem being that in creating the proxy that gets attached to th

Extending elements is a tricky business. Providing a common prototype for element instances (which can be extended once and affect all later- created elements) is not a standard behavior (as per ecma specs). Mozilla happens to implement this, while IE does not. It's usually a good idea to extend a

It actually never occurred to me that I could write a wrapper function. My confusion is due to the fact that the code works fine in Firefox, in that $(...).insertRow(-1) actually returns a Prototype Element object so the chaining is nice and concise, but in IE, it does not return an Element objec

It doesn't work on IE and Opera for me either. I've checked out latest prototype's from git to no avail. All line numbers I mention correspond however to the stable version 1.6.0.2 (latest) I've traced down the problem to the line 1457: else receiver.update(responseText); which calls the functio
