If it were a wiki, I would edit this myself, but it''s not. The
documentation for Element.insert at:
http://www.prototypejs.org/api/element/insert
Is not clear enough when it comes to indicating how to position
content. It says, "Inserts content before, after, at the top of, or
at the bottom of element, as specified by the position property of the
second argument." It would be helpful to show that you specify
positions like:
position: Insertion.Bottom
As is displayed here:
http://www.prototypejs.org/api/insertion
Currently it is too easy to spend time trying things like:
$(''messages'').insert(transport.responseText, {position:
bottom});
Which does not work.

Your copied text is lacking the code syntax from the page, but
"position" is a keyword and is to be replaced by the position you
desire. Here are some examples:
$(''foo'').insert( { top:
''<p>Hello</p>'' } )
$(''foo'').insert( { bottom:
''<p>Hello</p>'' } )
$(''foo'').insert( { before:
''<p>Hello</p>'' } )
$(''foo'').insert( { after:
''<p>Hello</p>'' } )
The second example, bottom, can also be written as:
$(''foo'').insert(
''<p>Hello</p>'' )

Thanks for the great tip. It''s precisely the sort of thing that should probably be listed in the documentation, as currently, I do think it is a bit lacking.

I do agree that it (that sentence) is a little difficult to read, and without an example it''s pretty open to your own interpretation. Maybe there is plans to add some examples or make these docs more readable and less of "you need to be an advanced prototype person to use this page" kind of style. -justin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
