...rate both JavaScript objects, like JSON, and XML. I can generate both pretty easily. What''s best practice for AJAX responses?

Hi All, So I''m using scriptaculous in rails to allow opening and closing of messages in a threaded forum without the need for reloading the entire page. What I was wondering was if there was some way to store the state (which messages are open and which are closed) in a cookie or something, so that when the user does reload the page the messages won''t all be reset to their

Here''s an blog on how I''m using Prototype and script.aculo.us... http://engrm.com/blogometer/2005/09/28/relay-and-javascript-generators/ If anyone is interested in generating views and models for script.aculo.us controllers in XSLT 2.0 please let me know. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html - http://engrm.com/blog...

...nts using methods that act as if they were members the controller, rather than members of the target object. This creates a consistant environment across browers, and creates a meaningful this object that can maintain the state of the control.

Hi, I am trying to play with all the methods in the Array Object. Just wanted to check with you guys if this is the correct explanation of toQueryParams(). If yes, then I''ll add it to the documentation as well. Works for me (but I am not sure if it''s the correct way to use it). /* String.prototype.toQueryParams takes a query string, i.e, string with name value pairs

Hi, I noticed that the scriptaculous shopping cart demo doesn''t work in safari 1.03. I was wondering if there was documentation somewhere that would tell me what my minimal browser requirements were for running scriptaculous? I found this comparative analysis on the web: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/AjaxLibraries but I think it might be a bit out of date. I did

hi all, I''ve built a simple javascript datepicker for use with Rails. I''m sure others exist, but think this one is quite decent without being overengineered. http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker/ At present there''s no Rails HTML generator method for it; later I will package it in a script/generator, but for now it is quite easy to use with Rails and

Hi all, I''m having a problem with an Ajax.Request. I can''t figure out how I can pass an event (an onclick on a checkbox) which causes the Ajax Request, to be recognized in an onSuccess function. Here''s my simplified code: var RequiredField = Class.create(); RequiredField.prototype = { initialize: function(chkbox) { this.chkbox = chkbox; this.chkbox.onclick =
