similar to: RE: document.getElementsByClassName (prototype) andElement.childrenWithClassName (scriptaculous) redundancy?

Is there a reason scriptaculous provides what appears to be a redundant function? The reason I''m asking is that it only seems to be used twice throughout all of scriptaculous, and it doesn''t appear to work properly (for some reason it''s returning the actual element, rather than an array with all of the elements) If there is no reason, I''ll modify it to use

So, I have this form/datagrid thing. I want to have a button that clears the fields (not a reset, which would set them to the default state, I want them blank.) For various reasons, getByClassName seemed the best way to deal with this. Everything was fine on Moz/Firefox. Safari seems fine. But IE... Some detective work later, it seems that the problem is caused by *another* field on the page.

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, 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

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 _______________________________________________

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

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), { ...

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.

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.

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]);

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:

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 ++

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

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:

I''m currently using "The Ultimate getElementsByClassName" (http://www.robertnyman.com/2005/11/07/the-ultimate-getelementsbyclassname/) instead of the Prototype version. This version seems to be faster since it lets you specify the starting node and the type of entity. For example: var widgets = getElementsByClassName(document, "ol", "tree"); Is

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>

How should I expect the performance of this function to be? I wrote this code: function CreateTOC(){ var $aTOC = document.getElementsByClassName(''tocitem''); if(isArray($aTOC)){ $temp = ''<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="cmdSave_Update" VALUE="Close" CLASS="menubuttons"> ''; $temp += ''<INPUT

Hi, Is it possible to submit my form (or part of my form) with an ajax request? I had been using dojo to do this, but having just read up on the prototype library, I think I''d rather use prototype. The one thing I don''t see (maybe I''m just missing it) is the ability to submit my form (actually just parse through an element and include all inputs as request parameters)
