Hi, I don''t know what might cause this, but maybe you do. If I put the code below in a html-file and open it in a popup. I get an error on row 129 in the latest prototype.js bundled with 1.6.5. popup.html: <script type="text/javascript" src="/inc/api/prototype.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> Event.observe(window,

I''ve got a PeriodicalExecuter refreshing some content on my homepage. I''ve also got a Responder popping up a ''Working...'' box when ajax calls are being made. Is there a way to tell the Responder not to run when the PE is running? I''m new to prototype and scriptaculous so no assumptions of my knowledge are too low. :)

I apologize if this is not an appropriate question for this list (I couldn''t find a mailing list for prototype). Anybody know of a way to use the stop the PeriodicalExecuter in prototype from executing? In traditional js, I would just call "clearInterval(id)". Many Thanks, Josh _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to stop Prototype 1.3.1''s PeriodicalExecuter? I don''t see any start()/stop() methods off of that object in the API. I noticed that Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater has start() and stop() methods, but haven''t worked through the syntax enough to know how to have similar behavior in just the PeriodicalExecutor object itself. Thanks, Jess

Hi I''m having a problem using PeriodicalExecuter with a form. I have a monitoring pane that updates status of form processing, and it stops working when I submit a form. It works with Safari 2, IE, Firefox, but not with Safari 3. I''ve made a test script: http://www.charmm-gui.org/test.html It updates a textarea, but it stops updating when the form is submitted in Safari 3. Any

Hi, This is Atit here. I am working on Ruby on Rails. I have one functionality in which, I have two drop down. Second drop down list is dependent on first one. So changing value of first drop down is refreshing the second drop down. I have used observe_field to implement this functionality. This is working fine in Fire Fox but in IE 6.0 it is not populating second drop down every

Hi all I have to deal with multiple PeriodicalExecuters over several Interfaces. Each has it own. Now this all works, but i when i go back and forth between them i spawn another and another etc... I tried to push the instance of PE to a global array and on each change in the interface invoke a stop() on them. This sounds okay, but it is obviously not working 100% of the time. Any ideas how to

Well, I''ve been burning the midnight oil trying to figure out how to issue the stop() command to a PeriodicUpdater. I''ve come up with a solution that uses setTimeouts to call the stop function. I think my solution is very kludgey... especially since I''m new to Javascript + Prototype. Can anyone let me know if the below code is at all proper? :) --------- Summary: A

Gosh darn Outlook seems to have stripped some newlines from my response... last few lines should read... var myActiveSpanBase = new ActiveSpan({"red"}); Object.extend($(''someSpan''), myActiveSpanBase); $(''someSpan'').setup(); Or, more concisely... Object.extend($(''someSpan''), new ActiveSpan({"blue"});

..lol... and I screwed up the option... one more time... var myActiveSpanBase = new ActiveSpan({color: "red"}); Object.extend($(''someSpan''), myActiveSpanBase); $(''someSpan'').setup(); Or, more concisely... Object.extend($(''someSpan''), new ActiveSpan({color: "blue"}); $(''someSpan'').setup();

I have been successfully using the latest mongrel and upload progress plugin with safari but firefox seems to have some issues with any request that takes longer than 5 seconds to complete. You get the "Warning: Unresponsive Script" screen. Apparently this problem is fixable by following this: http://computer-vet.com/weblog/2006/04/28/ firefox_warning_unresponsive_script.html

I want to take an existing DOM object and extend it with some functionality. I know there''s a way to do this with prototype. Unfortunately, I''m not entirely sure how to do this.

OK I know whats happening. Your while loop completes and calls kill on the worker before your task_progress controller method ever gets called> So the worker is deleted and when you try to access it from rails you get an error because there is no longer a worker at that job key. The kill method is meant to be used within a worker that you fire and forget. If you want to get the

Using the PeriodicalUpdater, I''m finding the onComplete is not firing. I thought I''d get some feedback here before filing a bug report. http://ianty.com/updater/update_test_1.6.0.1.html http://ianty.com/updater/update_test_1.6.0.html The above are examples of this for prototype 1.6.0 & 1.6.0.1. I''m expecting the onComplete to fire after the update takes place, per
