I went and looked at the ruby on rails source, and as imagined, prototype is just part of the source trunk.
If you included it, using some global sort of way that would allow people to "swap out" their own versions of prototype to use (at their own risk) it might not be ~that~ much of a hardship. I doubt you guys would initially be using any of the features that are likely to go under more and more development, but it could just be a "this is the version we support, use others at your own risk" sort of thing. Easy for me to say though ;) It would just be easy to imagine something like validation benefiting from this a great deal..Instead of waiting for the user to hit the form submit button, it could be triggered by them leaving the field, and if found to in error do some "effects" to highlight the field, and even possibly pop in a little hint as to what the field should have above it, that is displayed only for a few seconds (or minute, or whatever..) Something like the little yellow box that appears on this page when you click on the "Size Me" component. It just appears out of nowhere and then fades away after a couple of seconds. super cool. I will content myself with providing decorator behaviour over in tacos for now I guess. :( j On 8/24/05, Howard Lewis Ship <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It's funny; I've been suddenly bombarded by pointers to this library. > It looks nice and well thought out. > > Just looked at the Prototype library and the good news is that its > license is fully public.
