similar to: IE Problem with document.getElementsByTag

Hello All, I have just joined rails-spinoffs mailing lists and I would like to introduce myself. My name is Casey and I am a professional Web and J2EE developer currently working out of New York. I am very interested in contributing to the Scriptaculous javascript library. For the past few months I have been using certain functions in the library and I have to say that it has taken my

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''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

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

While $$ and getElementsByClassName are ridiculously speedy in Firefox (thanks to XPath), I''m finding both functions to be intolerably slow in IE. The page I''m working with has fewer than 1000 elements -- doesn''t seem THAT big -- and it''s still taking upwards of 4 seconds (!) to pick out the right ones. Are there documented problems with particular

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.

Is there a prototype / extension which will assist in cross-browser support of PNG images? http://www.alistapart.com/articles/pngopacity/ It seems to me that a class could be developed which would zip through the DOM and make changes where needed for IE 5.5 / IE 6.0 to handle PNG images. I don''t want to write one if it''s been done before. Sam

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

I''m having this problem with IE and getElementsBySelector, but am a relative js novice, so quite possible -- likely even -- that I''m doing something stupid. Either way, a fresh pair of eyes would help. Basically I''m duplicating a fieldset within a form (so you can upload more than one photo). [BTW, the fieldsets have a CSS id which relates to the object id of the

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, 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

Hi, Just found out this weird bug in IE (or I probably should say IE bug that needs workaround?) This works in IE, FF document.getElementsByClassName(''box'').each ( function(e) {new Effect.toggle(e, ''blind''); } ); But this doesn''t work in IE document.getElementsByClassName(''box'').each ( function(e) {new Effect.toggle(e,

can you please tell me why this is not working? i got the example for how to use each online and copied it to a t (except i added the if). its telling me items.each does not exist. var items = document.getElementsByClassName(''editView''); if (items.length > 0){ items.each(function (result){ thisid = result.id; thiskey = thisid.replace(/se_item_/gi, '''');

function CreateTOC(){ var $aTOC = document.getElementsByClassName(''tocitem''); var $temp = ''''; if(isArray($aTOC)){ for($t in $aTOC){ $temp += ''t='' + $t + '', '' + $aTOC[$t].name + ''<BR>''; } $(''test1'').innerHTML = $temp; } } When I run this code

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

Hello, I have 2 navigations ( mainnav and subnav ) with 2 lists List have same names ( li0 li1 li2 ) What is the best way to select li1 of subnav with prototype 1.4 in this case ? I just want to hide/show it Thanks <div id="mainnav"> <ul> <li name="li0"><li name="li1"><li name="li2"> </ul> </div> <div

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

Hi, I''m new to this list, new to script.aculo.us but pretty comfortable with javascript. I''m trying to get a combination of Effect.SlideUp and Down and Effect.BlindUp and Down to well... it''s hard to describe, maybe have a visit here (try in firefox first): http://bruno.biosci.arizona.edu/occa/test.html Click on "next month" a couple times, then click on

Good day, I''m trying to use the slider control to resize a pile of images on a web page. Clever, huh. Bet cha didn''t think of that one!!! :) But seriously. It seems I want to address a class, rather than the individual id''s of the images. At this point, I''m getting some results with something like this:
