similar to: Element.addMethods vs extending prototype.

Prototype 1.6.0.2 Internet Explorer 7 I''ve found that when I call $(''myform'').focusFirstElement(); to set focus on the first field in my form, that this statement "wrecks" the extensions I''ve added using Element.addMethods() if it executes before Element.addMethods(). When I try to call one of my exenstions, the IE7 JavaScript interpreter throws an

IE6 and IE7 are not correctly handling the ''throw'' command for functions attached to Element via Element.addMethods. Firefox and Safari are fine. See the example below. For IE6: functions called with no attributes (ie: funcName()) correctly handle thrown errors. Funcions called with attributes (ie: funcName("foo")) will respond to the throw command and pass execution

Hello All, I''m trying to capture the exception message that my server application is providing in response to my Ajax.Request. However, I''m confused as to when onFailure is fired vs. onException. The onException handler has access to the javascript exception object and I''d understood that it was only called when the dispatch fails. Not sure what exactly that means

After upgrading to prototype 1.5.0 and scriptaculous 1.7.0 my autocompleter.local died... firebug reports that effects.js is to blame calling Element.addMethods(); I can not find out why cause as far as I can see it does exist in prototype.js.

I have a function that needs to be attached to a bunch of text fields when the page loads. I would like to use the Prototype methods that are added to DOM elements by using the $() function, but I in the function it refers to things with "this". For example, this.style.borderColor. Is there a way to extend elements from the kind of scope I am looking at? For example, is there a way to

I''ve written a JavaScript library called Ortho (http://www.craic.com/ ortho) on top of Prototype for creating ''diagram-style'' graphics in JavaScript. You can create histograms, graphs, timeline plots, ''maps'' of genomic data, annotated images, tree diagrams, etc. Unlike Canvas, it seamlessly integrates text with graphics and the output looks the same

When I add my own extensions to DOM elements, is there a way to only add my extensions to the specific types of DOM elements (e.g. SELECT) to which my extensions apply or are intended to operate? Based on the Prototype API documentation (http://prototypejs.org/learn/ extensions), it appears that anytime I extend an element, all the extensions (Prototype''s and my own) are copied to that

Note that this does not fix gettext for app, that will be done separately in another patch as F10/F11 require different setups for that. In the meantime gettext works if manually changed in environment.rb to gettext_rails instead of gettext/rails Signed-off-by: Jason Guiditta <jason.guiditt at gmail.com> --- src/app/controllers/application.rb | 200 --------

Hi All, Has anyone here used zkoss.org?

Hey has anyone seen a 1.6 cheatsheet around?

Hi All, After much searching and head scratching I post you this! I can''t seem to find a generic way to handle multiple select data. The function I use to receive form values will only pass the first selected value from a multiple select. I have pasted part of the form and the function below. Thanks for any pointers, Vince // Example selectbox <select

I have a simple HTML page - stripped everything possible from it. No javascript is invoked (e.g. body onLoad) when the page is loaded I''ve included the new prototype.1.6.0 (and tried 1.6.0.2) in my html page. When I load the page - the browser will render the html content - but the page continues to load - without ever finishing. This is a problem because the code I want to execute in

This fixes a regression introduced by 9e3d1160. Snapshot was leaving both dev and file attributes specified. The result was that the v2v would actually operate on the underlying storage rather than the snapshot. --- snapshot/v2v-snapshot.pl | 5 +++++ 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/snapshot/v2v-snapshot.pl b/snapshot/v2v-snapshot.pl index f089a77..e2cc33c 100755
