similar to: PeriodicalExecuter and clearInterval

I''ve come up with a patch to PeriodicalExecuter which allows for pausing and restarting without losing the time remaining. I''ve searched for something like this, but the only one I found linked to a dead blog. I wondered if anyone would look over the code, maybe it will make its way into the official release. var PeriodicalExecuter = Class.create({ initialize:

I trying to pass a variable to the call back function of when utilizing the PeriodicalExecuter function ex. new PeriodicalExecuter(refresh, 10); works but new PeriodicalExecuter(refresh(id), 10); works once then errors after the 10 seconds, I get "this.callback is not a function"

Hello, in my app the user can click "start" to ask for regular refreshments of the data, and can also click "stop" to stop this refreshments (and then he can click "start" again to restart the process). im just wondering that , if he keeps starting and stopping, that is creating new PeriodicalExecuters and stoping them, if there will be any memory issues, does

Hi I''m having a problem using PeriodicalExecuter with a form. I have a monitoring pane that updates status of form processing, and it stops working when I submit a form. It works with Safari 2, IE, Firefox, but not with Safari 3. I''ve made a test script: http://www.charmm-gui.org/test.html It updates a textarea, but it stops updating when the form is submitted in Safari 3. Any

Actually, I see there are two other prototype calls: Element.remove(''foo''); Which does a parentNode.removeChild(), and Element.update(''foo'', ''some html''); Which does element.innerHTML = ''some html'', and executes any script that is in the string you pass in. -----Original Message----- From:

I see what he is saying now. When you assign a click event with the Event.observe it does not allow you to call it with the $(''xxx'').onclick(); command as it''s looking for the onclick tag in the a tag. I''m stumped on a way to get this to work. Jon Whitcraft Web Application Developer Online Services - Indianapolis Motor Speedway (317) 492-8623

There have been issues in the past with compressed versions, but I don''t know if there still are. Does everything seem to still work correctly? You could provide a link to the compressed version for people to test if you want.

2 questions regarding the synchronization of these events. 1) is onSuccess called before onComplete ( I assume it is) 2) if called after, is onComplete called after the onSuccess method has completed or are you at the mercy of synchronization issues? Hopefully someone can enlighten me. I tried reading the Prototype.js but couldn''t seem to determine this on my own.

I have also experienced erratic image "non"-caching by IE in my projects (seemingly related specifically to AJAX/DOM manipulated nodes as you are seeing)... I tried preloading the icon images in body onload in global variables, then using those global variables to access the images... no luck. ...I have no idea why IE sometimes has to download these images that it SHOULD have in its

You need a closure. onComplete: function (response) { NamedActionResponseHandler(theElement, response); } Is that what you mean?

Hi everyone, lately I''ve implemented an auto completion textfield at the bottom of a form. I was a bit bothered by the fact that the user would potentially need to scroll down in order to see all the options offered by the auto completion. I couldn''t find any information on how to auto scroll to the auto completion list with bulit-in functionality so I modified controls.js

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.

To answer my own question, yes. I looked at the trunk and it passes the option on from Sortable.

I''ve got a PeriodicalExecuter refreshing some content on my homepage. I''ve also got a Responder popping up a ''Working...'' box when ajax calls are being made. Is there a way to tell the Responder not to run when the PE is running? I''m new to prototype and scriptaculous so no assumptions of my knowledge are too low. :)

Hi, I was wondering if there was a way to stop Prototype 1.3.1''s PeriodicalExecuter? I don''t see any start()/stop() methods off of that object in the API. I noticed that Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater has start() and stop() methods, but haven''t worked through the syntax enough to know how to have similar behavior in just the PeriodicalExecutor object itself. Thanks, Jess
