I''ve just had a look again at the autocompletion demo that Thomas put up at http://script.aculo.us/demos/ajax/autocompleter Unfortunately, in Konqueror (3.4.1) it doesn''t work at all. Not even an error is triggered. It does work nicely in Firefox. How about Safari? I don''t have the time right now to track this down systematically (maybe latter), but just from

It''s awfully quiet in here... So here''s another bunch of scripts that are heavily inspired by Prototype.js and useful in conjunction with Rails http://www.schuerig.de/michael/javascript/ Please have a look... at the code. There''s nothing visual about the scripts, I happily leave that to Thomas. Michael -- Michael Schuerig Airtight arguments have

I''ve noticed that using several TimedObservers (prototype.js) on a page to watch for changes to text fields (haven''t tried forms) can have a non-negligible effect on the CPU cycles used by the browser process. Nothing dramatic, to be sure, but unnecessary. Autocompleter.Base (controls.js) follows a smarter strategy to watch for changes. Currently this functionality is tied

Currently, pages generated by Rails tend to be sprinkled with JavaScript. This happens, because the various helper methods work only locally and simply append to the output. In order to hide the JavaScript away, rendering would probably have to be changed. A way I can think of is that a page-specific script is included in the head of the document and JavaScript code is not written to the

Recently, I''ve started to write unit tests for some of my scripts. In general,it''s no worse in JavaScript than in Ruby or Java. I didn''t have the courage to try Selenium, but had a look at JsUnit. Unfortunately, in Konqueror it produces unfathomable errors and in Firefox it is slow beyond imagination. Anyway, writing tests for functions that are computational or

Hello everyone, It seems that the answer to my question should be obvious, but I''ve not yet found a way to do what I want. Any advice on the best method would be greatly appreciated. Have the following database table: CREATE TABLE datasets ( id int not null auto increment, name varchar not null, value varchar not null, year varchar not null, state

I have several tables for enumerations. They all have the same content: id, name, position. I''d like to avoid the tedious work of defining a class for each one explicitly. Not least, in order to avoid clutter in the model directory. Here''s what I''ve come up with: class EnumRecord < ActiveRecord::Base def self.define_enums(*enums) enums.each do |spec|

Quick question - how come the function.prototype.bind doesn''t allow for return values? Am I missing some basic understanding of how this works? I searched and couldn''t find an answer. Specifically, I''m binding an object method to an existing form''s onSubmit, but it still actually submits the form, refreshing the page - which is not what I want. If change

When a validates_asssociated fails... I get something like Address is invalid is there a way, preferably on a per-association basis to have the error messaage include the actual error like Zipcode is too long (max is 10 characters) _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org

I noticed that some of my event handlers and scripts evaluated in ajax responses didn''t work in Konqueror (3.5.5). document.getElementsByClassName is not defined in these contexts. I can work around this, by saving document.getElementsByClassName in a (namespaced) global variable once and reassigning it before each use. Still, this misfeature is annoying and not restricted to this

Ah - thanks Michael. Event.stop is precisely what I was looking for. I can just grab the event object inside the handler that I registered previously and pass it to an Event.stop call, and get exactly what I want.

My application is built on Rails and MySQL. It will only be accepting US formatted dates as input, however both Rails and MySQL are oriented around ISO the format. I know I can convert a good portion of the entries using ParseDate::parsedate but it does not appear this is how the conversion is taking place when data is being transferred from the params hash into model members. Say I have a field

The validation reflection plugin adds three things (1) Reflective access to validations - ModelClass.reflect_on_all_validations - ModelClass.reflect_on_validations_for(:property) (2) It provides "declarative" methods for defining validations based on database metadata - validates_presence_of_mandatory_content_columns - validates_lengths_of_string_attributes -

Has someone come up with a generic way to handle ajax requests that exceed a certain time? In my concrete case, I have several select boxes for drilling down a hierarchy. When the user clicks an option, the next deeper level is retrieved. To avoid multiple concurrent requests, I disable the select box. As the request may take too long or cause an error, I set a timeout that re-enables the

I''m no friend of paging, but I have to somehow deal with lists of potentially large numbers of objects. The Rico LiveGrid[*] at first blush seems attractive, but has some major drawbacks. It doesn''t work with Safari/Konqueror, not yet anyway. It can only handle fixed-size tables and requires that widths, including column widths, are hand-crafted. I''m looking for a

I''m in the process of updating an app for Rails 3.0 and rspec-rails 2.0.0.beta20. When I''m running my specs (rake spec) I get a large number of errors caused by two undefined methods undefined method `has_selector?'' for #<String:0x7fdbd0b5b270> undefined method `flunk'' for

[I sent this already two days ago, but apparently the message didn't get through. It is not in the archive either.] I've read through the Programmer's Manual, Language Reference, and Kaleidoscope Tutorial, still I'm struggling to get started hands-on with LLVM. This may just be a passing phase and I'm in no hurry, so I'd like to take the time to read up some more on

The attached patch transparently extends the Builder from util.js to take an object/hash value for the style attribute. The elements of the hash are then used to set the respective properties of the style object. The purpose of this patch is twofold: (1) Make it easier to use the Builder with generated style properties. (2) I''m not sure if assigning a string to element.style is even

Somewhere between 0.13.1 and the current SVN version the :overwrite_params option to url_for (and related methods) went missing. I can''t tell whether this was deliberate or by mistake, and I have no idea how to get the same functionality in some other way either. Michael -- Michael Schuerig Life is what happens
