I noticed that some of my event handlers and scripts evaluated in ajax responses didn''t work in Konqueror (3.5.5). document.getElementsByClassName is not defined in these contexts. I can work around this, by saving document.getElementsByClassName in a (namespaced) global variable once and reassigning it before each use. Still, this misfeature is annoying and not restricted to this

I have probably trivial problem in OpenSSH installation, but do not see it - could you help, please ?

Hi all, For those of you who don''t follow Thomas Fuch''s blog, know that a complete rewrite of InPlaceEditor / InPlaceCollectionEditor just made it into the trunk. You''ll find all the juicy details on Thomas'' post: http://mir.aculo.us/2007/7/17/in-place-editing-the-summer-2007-rewrite Do note that this is my rewrite, so if you find bugs etc., don''t

Apologies for the self-promotion, but some of the Rails newbies out there may be interested in knowing that our beginner''s Rails book is now available as a free PDF (the full thing, not just a sample). http://rails.sitepoint.com/ Personally I think it''s the best beginner''s Rails book out there, but of course my bias is going to be questionable as I edited the thing.

You could also check out the following tutorials. I found these pretty helpful. SitePoint Articles: http://www.sitepoint.com/print/oriented-programming-1 http://www.sitepoint.com/print/oriented-programming-2 Thank you, Mandy.

Hi Community.... I''m new in this game, so this might be a easy question, but I have done my google, without result, so I will try this.... I''m learning ROR, and I''m using Patrick Lens ''Ruby on Rails'' book. (This is written for ror 1.x - and I''m using NetBeans 6.1 - ror 2.x - this might be the problem...) But... I have made this

[I sent this already two days ago, but apparently the message didn't get through. It is not in the archive either.] I've read through the Programmer's Manual, Language Reference, and Kaleidoscope Tutorial, still I'm struggling to get started hands-on with LLVM. This may just be a passing phase and I'm in no hurry, so I'd like to take the time to read up some more on

Hi all, I''ve added a new library called sound.js to script.aculo.us, which allows for playing (mp3-based) sound effects. It works without using Flash, by using IE''s internal sound playback mechanism (BGSOUND) and falling back on using whatever plugin is used for audio/mpeg on other browsers (in real world terms, this means QuickTime or a QuickTime- compatible plugin).

I''m trying to change over from Rails 1.1.6 to 1.2.1 and have discovered that either something is wrong with Prototype of else something has changed that I am not aware of and cannot find documentation on. (I just joined this group, so if this has already been cussed and discussed here or in another list then please point me in the right direction.) I am trying to use the

Hi list, With the very latest SVN trunk of script.aculo.us having all sorts of nice unit testing thanks to efforts of Jon Tirsen (and some make-it- look-good additions from Michael Schuerig) a very nice framework for (more or less pragmatic) in-browser unit testing of JavaScript (and HTML!) has come in to place (it''s still to be considered quite alpha, but it basically works).

Currently, pages generated by Rails tend to be sprinkled with JavaScript. This happens, because the various helper methods work only locally and simply append to the output. In order to hide the JavaScript away, rendering would probably have to be changed. A way I can think of is that a page-specific script is included in the head of the document and JavaScript code is not written to the

Is there a way to walk a select box that has multiple enabled and a few optgroup mixed in with other groups? The following seems to work without the optgroup tags in a multiselect list box. I have tired going threw the children of the optgroup but i was unable to pull a valid .value or .selected. Any Ideas? Thanks. var objGroups =

I admit it, when it comes to rSpec, I''m lazy. I''ve made a few feeble attempts to use it, but for once I''m waiting for a book-length treatment. At least two books were announced, I think. Can anyone in the know please report on their progress? Thanks Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael at schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/

Hi there, Taking my first steps in Prototype and reading this very helpful book by Christophe Porteneuve. There''s an interesting tutorial (Chpt. 7) on making a tree to organize staff members. The problem is that I can''t make it working in IE. In Firefox it works just great. Did anybody fiddle with it? Maybe somebody has already figured it out. IE says

The validation reflection plugin adds three things (1) Reflective access to validations - ModelClass.reflect_on_all_validations - ModelClass.reflect_on_validations_for(:property) (2) It provides "declarative" methods for defining validations based on database metadata - validates_presence_of_mandatory_content_columns - validates_lengths_of_string_attributes -

Gents, I have what I thought was a simple scenario, but IE seems to have found a way to make it difficult: I am creating pairs of drop-downs of times of the day (9:00, 9:15, ...) on the fly (using AJAX) and want to be able to adjust the displayed difference between them in hours onChange and store this information in a global hash. Straightforwardly enough, I simple use Event.observe to set up an

Ah - thanks Michael. Event.stop is precisely what I was looking for. I can just grab the event object inside the handler that I registered previously and pass it to an Event.stop call, and get exactly what I want.

Recently, I''ve started to write unit tests for some of my scripts. In general,it''s no worse in JavaScript than in Ruby or Java. I didn''t have the courage to try Selenium, but had a look at JsUnit. Unfortunately, in Konqueror it produces unfathomable errors and in Firefox it is slow beyond imagination. Anyway, writing tests for functions that are computational or
