similar to: RE: Yahoo!-like Event object emulation/abstractionin Prototype?

If that doesn''t work, then you''ve done something wrong somewhere. ''Cause it works for IE for me and everyone else. The only advantage I see with the YUI toolkit is that it''ll defer attaching events to elements that do not yet exist in the DOM. Big whoop, only a sloppy programmer would try to attach an event to a non-existant element. With Prototype, you can

Hi, I was reading about the Yahoo! library recently and was really excited by the idea that I wouldn''t have to branch for IE in my event handlers. Is there any chance that such abstraction will come to Prototype? Thanks, Sam

Is there a standard way of programmatically firing an event on an element? I think this code works in IE but not FF: myElement.fireEvent(''onclick''); I really only care about IE and FF, but anything else is a bonus. I didn''t see anything in prototype/scriptaculous for this, but I might have missed it. Thanks. Joe Athman

I ran 2 tests. One using proto''s Event.observe, and another using an in-line handler of the "keydown" event in a textbox. Using .bindAsEventListener, the event.keyCode is always returning a capital letter, no matter what. The in-line event handler returns lowercase vs. uppercase correctly... What''s going on? I guess I find it hard to believe no one has tried

Hello, please consider the following code example. It applies the onclick handler to all image tags, and through window.event it ensures that it works in IE too: -------------------------------------------------- var imgs = $(''foo'').getElementsByTagName(''img''); for(var i=0; i<imgs.length; i++) { // Apply onclick handler imgs[i].onclick=function() {

anyone have any information on how to effectively use this? Event.observe() doesn''t return anything, and nothing I''ve tried is actually removing the event listeners from the objects. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ kitchen-RA8HwDor7flnDGu+y90WmgC/G2K4zDHf@public.gmane.org In the beginning was The Word and The Word was Content-type: text/plain -- The Word of Bob.

1. Create a separate class that has your highlight/unhighlight behavior in it, and extend just the element you want to highlight with that class... like this (also allows you to easily apply this behavior elsewhere when you need it in the future): Object.extend(this.el, HighlightBehaviorClass.prototype) 2. When defining your event handlers, assign them to variables so you have a

Hi, 1. can someone give me an example usage of { afterfinish: }? I tried several ways and just can''t get it. I was trying to deploy an effect after another one had finished and just couldn''t do it. Effect.dropout (myElement, {afterfinish: function(element) { Effect.Appear(anotherElement); } } ); a) why doesn''t this work? b) what''s the element argument for?

I am writing an application that will display a series of images. When a link is clicked the images will fade away, and new images will fade in. I am starting by trying to simply fade the images out then back in through a function: function ChangeImage() { Effect.BlindDown(''MyElement'',{duration:0.5}); Effect.BlindUp(''MyElement'',{duration:0.5}); } This

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

I have a page with some links on it that when clicked, loads a "subpage" in a div. This subpage contains some html and javascript. I see how using ajax.updater with evalscripts will run any standalone javascript on the subpage, but I do not have access to any of the javascript functions on that subpage. Is there some way I can make those javascript functions available to the page?

Avoiding real work I decided to try and clean up my html and remove my inline onclick handlers for Ajax.Updater calls. Here''s the inline method I''ve been using: http://hank.org/demos/ajax-inline.html Now, here''s using <script> sections to apply the behavior. http://hank.org/demos/ajax.html (firefox only) Since the links (tabs) are inside the

I have the following code to toggle a basic appear of a div: <a href="#" onclick="Effect.toggle(''d3'',''appear''); return false;">Toggle appear</a> I want to edit the rate in which the effect runs. I can''t for the life of me figure it out. I would like to make the effect complete faster, like .5 seconds. I''ve

This is obviously rough draft and not thoroughly tested, but it seems to work. If you''d like, give it a try (load it after you load prototype.js): Function.prototype.bindAsEventListener = function(object) { var __method = this; return function(event) { return __method.call(object, new SuperEvent(event || window.event)); } } var SuperEvent = Class.create();

I have the following code but it keeps on giving me this error when it runs. --- Error: this.alertBox has no properties What would be causing this? My Code checks out when I call this.alertBox() from the setup function it works fine but when I try and put in on an event observer it doesn''t work. What do you guys think? Thanks, Jon Code Here: var Updater =

I changed the code to be more prototype-esque, and created a class called XMLDoc. I may add more functionality to it later, hence the more generic name, but you do something like this to convert XML to a hash: XMLDoc = Class.create(); Object.extend(XMLDoc.prototype, { initialize: function (xmlDoc) { this.element = xmlDoc; }, asHash: function () { if (! this._xmlHash) {

Hi Marco (I forwarded this also to the mailing list and removed the picture as it wasn''t necessary to include to the mailing list so everyone can hear the general techniques), I recently had a very similar problem with my project. The problem arises because whenever you move the mouse to ANY element, the previous element that the mouse was over gets a mouseout event, even if it
