similar to: document.getElementsByClassName (prototype) and Element.childrenWithClassName (scriptaculous) redundancy?

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.

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 folks. I''m working on a project where I need some drag and drop, but I need to implement what happens in a very different way, so I''m creating my own class for it. I don''t want to reinvent the wheel and redo Thomas'' excellent drag/drop functionality, nor do I want to copy/paste his code over into mine. So, I was wondering, has anyone tried to extract

I just ran across this bug when trying to re-create Ben Nolan''s behaviour.js with prototype and was wondering if anyone had fixed it before I went re-inventing the wheel :) Thanks! -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ kitchen-RA8HwDor7flnDGu+y90WmgC/G2K4zDHf@public.gmane.org http://ipaction.org/ -- defend your rights to fair use _______________________________________________

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.

Hi folks, I''m pretty new to javascript and prototype, so I just want to get some peer-review on a function I wrote that makes a handy (at least, it seems handy) way to set a group of attributes on an element easily. Object.extend(Element.prototype, { setAttributes: function(attrs) { var el = this; $H(attrs).each( function(attr) { el.setAttribute(attr[0], attr[1]);

when using prototype and Class.create(), what''s the preferred method of creating a subclass? say I have a real simple class: var Testing = Class.create(); Object.extend(Testing.prototype, { initialize: function() { ... }, ... }); would I subclass it as so? var SubClass = Class.create(); Object.extend(Object.extend(SubCLass.prototype, Testing.prototype), { ...

No comment on the usefulness of your function, as I''ve yet to try it. But for the "this" scope problem, try this... (removed your var and added the bind(this) after the function declaration. I didn''t test it though so you might want to give it whirl. It might introduce a different scope problem with the "attr" var but I think it should work.

attached is an html file I used to test the bug. the top text box should not allow you to type anything, not tab, not enter, nothing. bottom text box should work fine. requires prototype.js and includes jslog for jslog.info although it only occurs in one place, I just wanted to make sure the event was firing without having to use alerts :) tested browsers/platforms: opera: mac / win / lin:

You should be able to do this by changing the div''s .scrollTop value via javascript (maybe just pick a very large number to ensure bottom is hit, like 10,000). -----Original Message----- From: rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of Jeremy Kitchen Sent:

Hi, I have a table laid out something like this: <table> <thead> <tr> <th>col 1</th> <th>col 2</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody id="tablebody"> <tr> <td>moo</td> <td>moo</td> </tr> <tr> <td>moo</td> <td>moo</td> </tr>

No problem, also check out bindAsEventListener for attaching functions to element events, still maintaining your object as the "this" in the event handler scope at the same time having access to the originating "event" object.

I noticed that prototype.js defines a shift() method for the Array prototype. The base prototype already defines this method, is there a reason it is being redefined in prototype? Maybe certain browsers aren''t implementing the shift() method? If that''s the case, shouldn''t there also be an unshift()? :) Thanks! -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++

Hi, i need some help :) Does anywhere exists a fix for a code (scheme) like this: ---------------- var blas = document.getElementsByClassName( ''foo-class'', ''foo-id'' ); blas.each ( function( bla ) { var subbla = Element.childrenWithClassName( bla, ''subbla-class'', true ); } ); -------------- This scheme worked well till script.aculo

say I have some code like this: Behaviour.register({ ''#clickme'' : function(el) { Event.observe(el, ''click'', function(event) { alert("clickme was clicked"); }); } }); Behaviour.apply(); Behaviour.apply(); the element with the id of ''clickme'' will now have 3 onclick event observers. Is there a way to work around this? I

I have a div (with overflow:auto) that gets stuff added to it via Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater, and I''d like to keep it scrolled to the bottom all the time, unless the user manually scrolls away from the bottom (and be able to return it to its bottom-sticky form afterwards) I''m not sure if this is just some css trickery I need to do, or if it requires some javascript to do it.

Is there no better way to merge one array into another than iterating over the array you wish to append with each() and push()ing the elements on to the other array? Here''s what I mean: var arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; var arr2 = [''a'', ''b'', ''c'']; $A(arr2).each(function(el) { arr1.push(el) }); Is there no better way to do it than this?

I''m using prototype 1.4.0 in a big web application I''ve been working on for months and today a bug was raised by one of our testers. After investigation it turns out that something done 0 times will actually fire once. So, for example, if I had (0).times( function(i) { alert(i); } ); it''d fire once rather than not at all. Is this a bug in prototype or the
