Ryan, I think it was a combination of the evals, and the way I was using Effects. I took the effects out by default, and I just turn the layer on and off. I think it adds to the usability as the popup come immediately, instead of waiting for a while to become visible. I never did like the eval () statement in my code. But quite frankly I had never heard of binding a variable to a function the way Greg showed me either (thanks BTW). Next steps on the list: Making the confirm play nice with form submits and anchor href tags so that the code degrades nicely. Making IE work the same way as Firefox/Safari/Camino Are there any other things you guys would want in this? I am just trying to plan out my roadmap.

It isn''t a native javascript function. Just wanted to make sure that was understood in case you tried to use it in another project that didn''t have prototype and then cursed my name :) Greg

Also, be careful about the problem described here: http://wrath.rubyonrails.org/pipermail/rails-spinoffs/2005-December/ 001615.html (which crashes all but the latest firefox, I think). Also, if you surround your script elements with <!--//<![CDATA[ ... //]]>--> you might have to remove them or you''ll get javascript syntax errors on IE.

Okay, I just hit version 0.8.3 and added a bunch, included a BSD
based license (finally).
http://thinkof.net/notify/index.html
I have a question though, and this relates to the API of the library.
In order for the script to degrade nicely (and play well with <a/>
and <form/> tags) I needed a way to pass the target into the script.
For example I use this on links:
<a href="http://google.com" onclick="new Notify.Confirm
(''Go to
<em>google</em>?<br/>Please stay!'', this); return
false;">Go to
google.com</a>
If you click the confirmation button, your browser will be redirected
to the anchor''s href attribute. That behavior is only possible
because Notify.Confirm()''s second parameter is this, passing the
anchor tag into my object.
This seems a little messy to me, but I do not know of a way to clean
up this function call (eg: not passing in this, and still being able
to direct browsers to the href value).
Is there a way to access the tag of the element that the script is
executed from?
(I know I may not always have a parent element, in a <script/> tag
for instance.
Thanks again,
-Greg

thanks for the help but you were right it should work - i just had a typo :)
next issue............
tying to get it to hit a function onDrop, but its not working correctly. i
was given this way of doing it last week on this board. when i load the
page w/ FF i get "dropAction is not defined"
dropAction: function(draggable, droppable) {
alert("DROPED:" + draggable.id +" ON " + droppable.id);
}
. . .
Droppables.add("drop_List''",{hoverclass:"highlightField",accept:["draggable"],onDrop:dropAction});

Where are you defining the function? From what you''ve typed, it looks like you''re defining an anonymous function in a hash - if you just want a global function definition for ''dropAction'', use the syntax above. tom ------------------------- http://www.smallroomsoftware.com>> >> On 7 Feb 2006, at 17:35, Louis Walch wrote: >> >>> thanks for the help but you were right it should work - i just had >>> a typo :) >>> >>> next issue............ >>> tying to get it to hit a function onDrop, but its not working >>> correctly. i >>> was given this way of doing it last week on this board. when i load >>> the >>> page w/ FF i get "dropAction is not defined" >>> >>> dropAction: function(draggable, droppable) { >>> alert("DROPED:" + draggable.id +" ON " + droppable.id); >>> } >> >> Try removing "dropAction:" from that first line. >> >> >> ------------------------- >> http://www.smallroomsoftware.com >> >> >>> >>> . . . >>> >>> Droppables.add("drop_List''",{hoverclass:"highlightField",accept: >>> ["draggable"],onDrop:dropAction}); >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>>> >>>> On 7 Feb 2006, at 16:38, Louis Walch wrote: >>>> >>>>> thanks that worked... >>>>> >>>>> another related question.... >>>>> im also writing Droppables.add with the Ajax.Updater. and the drop >>>>> area >>>>> was written when the page was originally loaded (not the >>>>> ajax.updater area >>>>> of the page). will it still be droppable? >>>>> >>>> >>>> Sounds like it should work - javascript functions defined in the >>>> containing page should certainly be accessible from script elements >>>> in the updated fragment. >>>> >>>> >>>>> when i run updater, it writes the dragable items, and they are >>>>> draggable >>>>> but they do not do anything when dropped on the areas. >>>>> >>>>> also, the drop areas are TD''s maybe that is it. >>>>> >>>> >>>> Hmm, does your drop area work for draggables delared in the >>>> surrounding page (not in the fragment)?

Louis Walch wrote:> umm... if i remove the function name how does it know which function to use?That''s not a function name, it''s an attribute name. Unless your putting this function definition in a classes prototype, then you''re not really defining it. it should be something like: function dropAction(...) { ... } and then Droppables.add("drop_List''",{hoverclass:"highlightField",accept: ["draggable"],onDrop: dropAction}); -- Michael Peters Developer Plus Three, LP
