Just wondering why Event.stopObserving() doesn''t remove the itself from the Event.obervers array? Is there a reason for this? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

By default the prototype.js gives us the function /* prevent memory leaks in IE */ Event.observe(window, ''unload'', Event.unloadCache, false); But there is no unload event in out application as the content of the div keeps changing using the Ajax.Updater function. To handle such a scenario, we''ve added the following lines of code to prototype.js /* prevent

I''m sure there is an easy way to do this, but it is one of those things that is incredibly difficult to search for. How can I disable an ''Ajax.Autocompleter'' element from working ''on the fly''? I have a page where I''m using two (I know it''s crazy) Ajax.Autocompleter elements and once one of them has got a result I want the other field

I found that I couldn''t register an unload event using prototype. The reason seems to be that prototype registers an unload event which unregisters all events, including other unload events. It''s commented as a fix for an IE memory leak. In case anyone else wants to use unload events, here''s a fix that works for me, and might work for you. It simply skips unload events

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 guys! i know prototype can create custom events and can subscribe to it, but is there already a library for this? thanks! -- <script> ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// REDBAKS=function (){ var b,r,i,a,n="b=''646f63756d656e742e777269746528225"+ "4686572652773206d6f7265207468616e206f6e65207761792"+

Quick question.. I often crash my Safari when using ''Enter'' on InPlaceEditor''s for submitting. Works fine on firefox(win & Mac) - no javascript errors. Anyone else seen this behavior? (Maybe it is just my alterings of InPlaceEditor :-) Best Regards Michael Krog

One of the Mozilla developer released a new extension to detect JS memory leaks: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2490/ If it''s accurate, it might be bad news for Prototype. I have some code using prototype 1.4 with no leaks, but other code with 1.5 leaks on every single bindAsEventListener call, and a bunch of other places. Not sure if it''s just me; I may just be

Hello, I have a treeview, that works with scriptaculous in order to load the nodes dynamically. I also have in the main part of the page, a table with the list of elements. The lists of elements can be drag-dropped on the treeview in order to move them around (they are also draggable on other parts of the page) I need though, to refresh the treeview to reflect changes when a folder was moved

Is there a way to disable Ajax.InPlaceEditor''s yellow rollover highlight?

I cant seem to find an effect to move an element to a given XY position new Effect.Move(''elid'',{x:10, y:10}); Will move the element 10px down and 10px to the right, but I want to move my element to 10px from the top left corner of the page. I know I could find the current position, and do the math to find out how far to move it, but is there already a built in function in

Hey guys What would you say would be the "Prototype way" of removing all event listeners from an element? Thanks -Rob

Hi, is there some way to remove all event listeners for the specific element?

I made a pretty lengthy post on what I''m doing here: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/89a2b8e54a874dd9 Short version: I have a radio_button group of two. If one is clicked another pair of radio buttons is added, if the other is clicked it is removed. observe_form does not work for elements added after initial page load. observe_field does not work

Hi all, Can anyone confirm if anything has changed in Ajax.Autocompleter (or Autocompleter[.Base]) in 1.5.1 since 1.5? I've updated to this version and either something has changed (unlikely) or I've made a change somewhere that's borked it (much more likely). Events aren't firing on the text box when I enter input or blur away from the control ... Many thanks! Regards, Cam

I have created a JavaScript object which is initialized for some input fields, fieldsets, and divs on the page. With each object i attach a mouseover and mouseout event that highlights and un-highlights. Also on mouseout i am trying to display the id of the object to a console. The highlighting works except for cases when an object is the child of another object. In this case both are highlighted

I was wondering if someone could help me with an autocomplete problem. I have the autocomplete div receiving a <UL> that looks like: <ul> <li>Name<br>Email</li> </ul> When the user hits enter and the value is filled into the text field it''s putting both the name and email in the field. I just want the name. Funny this works in Firefox but not IE. I

I''ve been using the bindAsEventListener function and registering various events I want to monitor and have had some problems which might be of interest. First I have been having a crash on Safari 2.0 and 2.0.1. The logical place to call Event.stopObserving to de-register the listener is actually within the listener once it has finished its task. eg register a mouseup listener

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
