I have button that slides down a menu using Effect.BlindDown, but the function that slides it down also makes it so that the opening link now slides the menu back in. If the user double clicks the link (thuse opening & closing immediatley) the slide animation breaks, then will not extend correctly (but no JS errors). How would you go about stopping this happening? Also, is it just me or is the wiki down more often that not? Tom Rix.
Generally I just keep track of whether it''s open or not in a variable and check that variable before creating a new animation. So, only do the animation if the menu isn''t open.

I think there''s a way to check if an effect is running, but am not 100% on what it is exactly. The effect does have a state var that should be set to ''finished'' when it''s done, but there is no method to check for that, so I''m not sure if it''s recommended to use or not. if you do var e = new Effect... then you could try doing... if (e.state == ''finished'') or something similar... again, not sure if this is recommened or not.

I''m pretty new to Javascript (PHP is my specialty), is there a way to
make ''variable variables'' (
http://nz.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.variable.php ). Say I
have this function:
function lockMenu(menuId) {
var menu_*menuId* = true;
}
If I ran lockMenu(''myAccount''), I''d like the variable
menu_myAccount
set to false. How would I go about this?

Try the eval statement... might work...
function lockMenu(menuId) {
eval("var menu_" + menuId + " = true;");

Stay me away from eval! Well, I don''t see why, but I know the general
idea that it is bad.
function showProjectMenu(id) {
if (menusUnlocked == ''yes'') {
Effect.BlindDown(''project'' + id);
lockMenus();
$(''project'' + id +
''_link'').onclick=function() { hideProjectMenu(id) }
$(''project'' + id + ''_image'').src =
"/images/icons/folderOpen.gif";
setTimeout(''unlockMenus()'', 1000);
}
}
function hideProjectMenu(id) {
if (menusUnlocked == ''yes'') {
Effect.BlindUp(id, {duration:0.25});
lockMenus();
$(''project'' + id +
''_link'').onclick=function() { changeProject(id) }
$(''project'' + id + ''_image'').src =
"/images/icons/folderClosed.gif";
setTimeout(''unlockMenus()'', 250);
}
}
function lockMenus() {
menusUnlocked = ''no'';
}
function unlockMenus() {
menusUnlocked = ''yes'';
}
That will lock the entire interface for the duration of the animation,
only 1/4 second so its not a big deal.

Oh, now I see. Try creating a separate class that contains that
behavior, and extending each menu div (or whatever element they are),
with that class... then you can use "this" within the functions to
check
the locked status of the individual menu.

I''m happy with PHP object programming but don''t even know where to start in Javascript, let alone extending a class.

=) Sorry. I was talking about using the prototype.js library for object creation and inheritance (it ships with script.aculo.us) If I had more time today (busy now), I''d write you up an example based on your code. But for now, maybe check into the prototype library... once you learn object oriented javascript, you''ll never go back. http://www.sergiopereira.com/articles/prototype.js.html -----Original Message----- From: rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Tom ...
