Hi,
Has anyone seen any documentation on the Hash Object defined in the prototype
library?
To be precise the following methods -
1. keys
2. values
3. toQueryString
4. inspect
5. Merge
I am trying to play around with them and have come up with the following
examples -
var h = $H({name: "john doe", email:
"john-Ch9RrZxMC0c@public.gmane.org", msg: "say hello to
me"});
var h_in = h.inspect();
alert(h_in);
//returns #<Hash:{''name'': ''john doe'',
''email'':
''john-Ch9RrZxMC0c@public.gmane.org'', ''msg'':
''say hello to me''}>
var qs = h.toQueryString();
alert(qs);
//returns john%20doe&email=john%40doe.com&msg=say%20hello%20to%20me
var mer = h.merge(h);
alert(mer.name);
//returns john doe
alert(mer.email);
//returns john-Ch9RrZxMC0c@public.gmane.org
alert(mer.msg);
//returns say hello to me
var a_keys = h.keys();
alert(a_keys);
//returns name, email, msg
var a_values = h.values();
alert(a_values);
//returns john doe,john-Ch9RrZxMC0c@public.gmane.org,say hello to me
I want to know if this is the correct usage and how the merge function really
works.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mandy.
Anyone?

Not sure if there are docs anywhere, but all those exxcept inspect make sense to me... 1. keys of the hash 2. values of the hash 3. converts your hash to a query string (just like it says) for use in urls 4. not sure exactly what it''s doing without looking at the code 5. should work like the Merge method in Ruby for a Hash object. Try merging with another hash object that has a name key and a different value than the origianl and also add some new key/values pairs in the new hash, then you should see some more interesting results.
