Rails spinoffs - Aug 2005 - Seeking Assistance

My company is currently evaluating the Prototype javascript library for 
possible use in a new project.  I discovered what may or may not be a 
problem with both the 1.3.0 and 1.4.0_pre2 versions of the library, 
centered around the ScriptFragment regex.

The question: is this an appropriate forum for seeking help with this? 
Or is there another to which someone might direct me to?

Thanks in advance,

Chris Tembreull

Sure, ask! :)

Hokay.

So I''ve got Ajax.Updater working properly, being called as follows:

===CODE BLOCK==
<span
onclick="doAjaxTest(''/test.html'')">Click</span>
<div id="AjaxTestTarget"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
   function doAjaxTest(url)
   {
     new Ajax.Updater(''AjaxTestTarget'',url,{evalScripts:
true});
   }
</script>

===END CODE BLOCK==
The page it''s calling is as follows:

===CODE BLOCK==
<span id="scriptSpan"></span>
<script>
   // <![CDATA[
   document.getElementById(''scriptSpan'').innerHTML =
''load complete'';
   // ]]>
</script>

===END CODE BLOCK==
The problem: the script block isn''t executing.  I peeked into prototype
during execution, and it seems that the ScriptFragment regex isn''t 
matching.  At line 313 of prototype1.4.0_pre2, there''s a "var
response",
which should contain the requested page WITHOUT any script blocks.  It 
still contains them.  The next line has "var scripts", which should
just
contain the script blocks; it evaluates to null.

So I''m wondering if there''s something I''m not doing
right or if there''s
a patch I need or what.  I could try to figure out what''s up with that
bloody regex, but I decided to try asking around before I began beating 
my head against that particular wall...

Thanks!
