Can anyone recommend good books, online tutorials, or any other learning materials for Javascript - specifically Object Oriented Programming using JS? I want the rest of my dev team to be able to help me code in JS, specifically using prototype and scriptaculous. I''ve been using JS for so long, and I kinda "grew up" on OOP programming but my whole team is Coldfusion

I''ve found the following site is a nice introduction for javascript newbies who have an OO background: http://www.multitask.com.au/people/dion/ Of course, the real ugly truths about javascript are a less

Hi, Has anyone seen any documentation on the Hash Object defined in the prototype library? To be precise the following methods - 1. keys 2. values 3. toQueryString 4. inspect 5. Merge I am trying to play around with them and have come up with the following examples - var h = $H({name: "john doe", email: "john-Ch9RrZxMC0c@public.gmane.org", msg: "say hello to

Hi, I am facing a problem and the description is as follows - I have a page 1.html that does an Ajax.Updator & calls stuff from 2.html (that has some html snippet & some javascript). So far so good - things work fine. However, if 2.html had any document.write code - eg document.write(''hello'') then once the response is received it will be rendered till the point

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to find out if scriptaculous has a patch for a error logging class? Currently, I have found 2 javascript logging scripts (outside of scriptaculous). Lumberjack: http://gleepglop.com/javascripts/logger/ log4js: http://jroller.com/page/stritti?entry=logging_in_javascript_log4js Could you guys shed some light on what would be a good logger class to use with our

Hi, I am trying to play with all the methods in the Array Object. Just wanted to check with you guys if this is the correct explanation of toQueryParams(). If yes, then I''ll add it to the documentation as well. Works for me (but I am not sure if it''s the correct way to use it). /* String.prototype.toQueryParams takes a query string, i.e, string with name value pairs

Hi, This is a generic question about the way code is written in prototype and scriptaculous libraries. Inside every object, we find functions that begin with "_". How are these methods/functions different from the rest? eg _text, _attributes, _each... Please let me know. Thank you, Mandy.

Hey guys, I recently published an article documenting some of the more useful and interesting parts of Prototype''s Enumerable, Hash and Array objects. You can find it here: http://encytemedia.com/blog/articles/ 2005/12/07/prototype-meets-ruby-a-look-at-enumerable-array-and-hash If you have any feedback or suggestions, fire away. Cheers, -Justin Palmer

I tried the same thing Ryan - tried preloading the images using javascript once and then using CSS (heights of desperate behavior ;) But no Luck! But, IE is misbehaving in this respect. The application behaves fine once loaded. But, each refresh sucks! Only if I knew why this was happening ... :) Thanks anyway, Mandy.

Hello there, im having a problem with the xml handling, i want to get and xml node and put things in an input text but im a little lost, im using this code, but isn''t work, what am i doing wrong? --------------------- <a href="#" onclick="getXML()">Get XML</a> <input type="text" value="nothing here" id="respuesta" />

No, not a question, but a few suggestions. I take it that everyone serious about using Prototype & Co. already has Christophe''s (Porteneuve) Prototype and Script.aculo.us book. Apart from that, I''d like to point out two new, library-agnostic books: Cameron Adams and several others The Art & Science of JavaScript Sitepoint 2008 http://www.sitepoint.com/books/jsdesign1/

Has anyone written any "cookie" class using prototype? Basically, what I am looking for is if there is an easy way to store mutiple cookies in a single cookie using hash or something - easy writing and retrieval (updating the cookie value). For eg - If I had 25 cookies for my domain 5 of the cookies would either get dropped or not be set (as there is a limit of 20 cookies per domain).

Hi, I have implemented the drag and drop feature to move around some divs, but I have a small side effect i am trying to clear: When the draggable div contains links, and if the user grab the div on the link, the drag is done but the link is also visited, leading to unwanted issues. What I''ve tried to do is to look for all ''a'' tags in the draggable elements in order

Hi Guys, What''s the best way to grab all <td>''s in a particular table and manipulate them? Here''s the problem definition - I have a table that has ''n'' <tr>''s. Each <tr> has couple of <td>''s and the first <td> has an image. By default, each <td> has a ''x'' class and image src

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

Or... var myTDs = new Array(); $A($("main").childNodes).each(function(tr) { $A(tr.childNodes).each(function(td) { myTDs.push(td); }); }); -----Original Message----- From: rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org [mailto:rails-spinoffs-bounces-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org] On Behalf Of troels knak-nielsen Sent: Wednesday, March

I know this doesn''t necessarily fall under AJAX, but does anyone have any plans of donating a RTE (Rich Text Editor) plugin to scriptaculous?

I''m not sure if this has been discussed, but is there a public tree control based on prototype/script.aculo.us?

Has anyone implemented a Javascript Profiler based on prototype (or not based on it)?

Hi, seems like there isn''t any good books, tutorials or guides on capistrano out on the web. Appreciate if someone can post up where to look for good capistrano resources. It seems that there is some learning curve for capistrano.. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails:
