...ion about the prototype.js library. First, I''ve been looking for documentation on this and I have yet to find it. If any of you know of any, please let me know. Since I''m new to both the scriptaculous and prototype libraries could someone explain why I would want to use the cumulativeOffset method and not to just grab the offset off the element I''m working with? Cheers, Marty

I have been working on a project that involves a lot of front-end functionality and I noticed that Position.cumulativeOffset was not as accurate as I had expected/needed. I also needed some more options and I just didn''t really like having to type Position.cumulativeOffset all the time. I wanted to simply do element.getOffset() and be done. After lots of time spent going back and forth with the different browse...

I have a page where I am replacing a table element after the page has loaded. I get an error (on ie 6) when prototype.js calls cumulativeOffset. For the new table element, requesting the element.offsetParent property results in an "unspecified error" that brings my whole page to a crashing halt. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks, Cathy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed......

...e various offset methods. From looking at the code I think I may understand them but I wanted to run it by the group to make sure I had a clear understanding. realOffset - This returns the coordinates of the element as if none of the elements on the page are scrollable from the document edge. cumulativeOffset - This returns the coordinates of the element from the document edge (not taking scrolling into account or anything fancy). positionedOffset - This will return the same thing as cumulativeOffset most of the time, but if the element is contained in a positioned element (''absolute'...

Is anyone working on a scrolling table or div such as the openrico livegrid demo? I''m looking to develop (much like smashbox''s scrolling images) a collection of thumbnails that you can scroll horizontally. I''ve got a non-prototype.js example but I wanted to check to see if anyone was closer than I to this. BTW, I will be finishing up my slider code shortly and

...down at all. With the page scrolled down at all, the div with the overflow scrollbar would scroll itself immediately upon a draggble within it being dragged, instead of only when the draggable reached the bottom border of the scrollable div. To fix this, I changed the Position.page to Position.cumulativeOffset and commented out the 2 lines below it where you were adding the scrollLeft and scrollTop values to the p[0] and p[1] values. Now it works just fine. See the new updateDrag function below. Why were you using Position.page? updateDrag: function(event, pointer) { if(!this.dragging) this.star...

When using drag and drop, the browser window will not scroll if you move the mouse off the page. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible to create certain types of web applications. I know this has been mentioned before and is on the Wish List, but it''s very frustrating. If you look at this other Javascript library called "Drag''nDrop & DHTML Library"

Hello, I have a draggable window. I would like to have it so that when they come back to the page with the draggable window that it remembers where they left it when they last visited. How would I get the final position after the dragging has been stopped? I have been looking threw the wiki and couldn''t find anything.

Hi everyone, lately I''ve implemented an auto completion textfield at the bottom of a form. I was a bit bothered by the fact that the user would potentially need to scroll down in order to see all the options offered by the auto completion. I couldn''t find any information on how to auto scroll to the auto completion list with bulit-in functionality so I modified controls.js

hi. I''m rewriting the code from my own save-yourself-if-you-can implementation of xmlhttprequest to scriptaculous autocompleter, and it''s all fine and dandy, except that I am having difficulty positioning the auto_complete div which contains the results returned by xmlhttprequest. the auto_complete div is always stuck in one place, it starts a little below and half
