Isn''t the difference that the scriptaculous one only gets child nodes from the node you specify, whereas the prototype one gets all in the entire document? Still, it would be nice to just have the one, and let you pass in the document element if you wanted all of them. Just guessing, really. I haven''t looked at the code in question.

Is there a reason scriptaculous provides what appears to be a redundant function? The reason I''m asking is that it only seems to be used twice throughout all of scriptaculous, and it doesn''t appear to work properly (for some reason it''s returning the actual element, rather than an array with all of the elements) If there is no reason, I''ll modify it to use

Hi, I''ve been playing with sortable, the demos on script.aculo.us and reading the javascript. I hope I''m not just missing the documentation somewhere but I can''t find it. I want to do something like Sortable for the admin side of an open source ecommerce project I''m working on [1]. I''m relatively new to DHTML but understand the basic ideas. If someone

Hi, I need to extend the Element object with getTop, getWidth, getLeft . I wrote something like this in an js file and loaded it after the prototype.js . ---------------------------------------------------- Object.extend(Element, { getWidth: function(element) { element = $(element); return element.offsetWidth; }, getTop: function(element) { element = $(element); var curtop

I''m currently using "The Ultimate getElementsByClassName" (http://www.robertnyman.com/2005/11/07/the-ultimate-getelementsbyclassname/) instead of the Prototype version. This version seems to be faster since it lets you specify the starting node and the type of entity. For example: var widgets = getElementsByClassName(document, "ol", "tree"); Is

Hello, I have 2 navigations ( mainnav and subnav ) with 2 lists List have same names ( li0 li1 li2 ) What is the best way to select li1 of subnav with prototype 1.4 in this case ? I just want to hide/show it Thanks <div id="mainnav"> <ul> <li name="li0"><li name="li1"><li name="li2"> </ul> </div> <div

can you please tell me why this is not working? i got the example for how to use each online and copied it to a t (except i added the if). its telling me items.each does not exist. var items = document.getElementsByClassName(''editView''); if (items.length > 0){ items.each(function (result){ thisid = result.id; thiskey = thisid.replace(/se_item_/gi, '''');

How should I expect the performance of this function to be? I wrote this code: function CreateTOC(){ var $aTOC = document.getElementsByClassName(''tocitem''); if(isArray($aTOC)){ $temp = ''<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="cmdSave_Update" VALUE="Close" CLASS="menubuttons"> ''; $temp += ''<INPUT

So, I have this form/datagrid thing. I want to have a button that clears the fields (not a reset, which would set them to the default state, I want them blank.) For various reasons, getByClassName seemed the best way to deal with this. Everything was fine on Moz/Firefox. Safari seems fine. But IE... Some detective work later, it seems that the problem is caused by *another* field on the page.

Hello, I have a treeview, that works with scriptaculous in order to load the nodes dynamically. I also have in the main part of the page, a table with the list of elements. The lists of elements can be drag-dropped on the treeview in order to move them around (they are also draggable on other parts of the page) I need though, to refresh the treeview to reflect changes when a folder was moved

While $$ and getElementsByClassName are ridiculously speedy in Firefox (thanks to XPath), I''m finding both functions to be intolerably slow in IE. The page I''m working with has fewer than 1000 elements -- doesn''t seem THAT big -- and it''s still taking upwards of 4 seconds (!) to pick out the right ones. Are there documented problems with particular

First of all I''d like to say thanks for all the great work everyone has put into scriptaculous, I''m having a lot of fun playing with the framework, and easily moving into Web 2.0 territory. I''ve just hit a snag on my project though. So here''s my code: ... var newEvent= "<div

I have run into a problem that I have never created before. I am using the scriptaculous inPlaceEditor If I hit the cancel button, and rehit the editor it then creates two textboxes, and if I repeat three input boxes, etc.! Must be stupid simple, but I AM STUMPED! DECO

function CreateTOC(){ var $aTOC = document.getElementsByClassName(''tocitem''); var $temp = ''''; if(isArray($aTOC)){ for($t in $aTOC){ $temp += ''t='' + $t + '', '' + $aTOC[$t].name + ''<BR>''; } $(''test1'').innerHTML = $temp; } } When I run this code

This isn''t really a scriptaculous question, but it might be interesting anyway. I''m generating a rails app and in one form I have a grid of check-boxes (rows = A..H and col=1..12). I would like to put a checkbox in the column/row headers to toggle the boxes in a particular row or column. Each box has a name like ''position_A1'' or

I have this line of code: new Effect.toggle(document.getElementsByClassName(''modarea'', Event.findElement(ev,''li'')), ''blind''); I''ve confirmed that the Effect.toggle is indeed getting the proper element, however, I''m getting this in my javascript console: element.visible is not a function (effects.js: line 153) I

Hi, When I''m using the Prototype version attached to script.aculo.us 1.6.5 (Prototype 1.5.0_rc1 revision [5462]) I get some "Object doesn''t support this property or method" in the Effect.BlindDown method (when the method tries to get the dimentions). If I''m using the version of prototype that was attached to 1.6.4 I do not get this error. Is this a known

I know this is deprecated in 1.6, but my question is how do I properly use the native browser implementation? Do I need to change my code? I''m having a difficult time finding examples on this. Why is this deprecated instead of incorporated into prototype? Or did I answer my own question... Also, I want to utilize the new document.querySelector. Has some one implemented this inside

Hi All, I am trying to develop a dynamic form creator application, whereby we can drag objects from a "palette" and drop them onto a "form" to build the design of our form. To achieve this, when I have dragged the object, and dropped it onto the "form" area, I want to get the position of where the object was dropped. I have a droppable area:
