Hi all, I have a property, defined in an external stylesheet: .my_class { background-color: #FF0000; } I want to retrieve the value of this background-color of the class my_class. How can I do that with prototype/scriptaculous ? Thanks in advance, Nicolas Terray

My Ajax.Updater is set for evalScripts and it receives this: <script language="JavaScript">complete();</script> It works in FF but not IE. Is the above code the proper way to return scripts? Thanks!

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

When using the autocompleter and scrolling through options, if you press the up arrow key the input field cursor moves backward. Some of my users have reported that they find this very distracting. Does anyone know why this happens, or where in the code I could fix it? Steps to recreate: 1. Go to http://demo.script.aculo.us/ajax/autocompleter 2. Type in a letter (or two or three) 3. Arrow down

Hi All, I''ve just discover scriptaculous and it is a really good library. Even if I have some difficulties with short syntax in javascript code :/ I have a strange behaviour with Effect.Highlight, and as it''s said on bug report page : "It''s also a good idea to discuss this on the Mailing List beforehand, maybe it''s already known and in the works, or it

I was wooed here by this demo page for the script.aculo.us slider control: http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/SliderDemo ... but I''m looking for a slider control well adapted for use in a touch-screen kiosk application (an unusual place to put a web application, perhaps, but bear with me...) I''ve posted an example (screencast and downloadable program) here:

Hi, I needing to modify the control.js file and am confused about what the purpose of the getToken function is. I read the docs section below and still don''t understand why it doesn''t just access the form.value directly. Docs say: This method should get the text for which to provide autocompletion by invoking this.getToken(), NOT by directly accessing this.element.value. This is

I think I am experiencing the variable scope problem with evalScripts. I have this block of code being returned from an Ajax.Updater call, as shown by FireBug or one of those other Firefox plugins. I have tried to boil it down to the minimum code. <script type="text/javascript"> test = function() { alert("test"); }; </script> <table

Howdy all, I have an Ajax.Updater with evalScript = true and I would like to execute some javascript *after* the scripts in the answer have been eval''ed. How can I do that ? I''ve tried with onComplete, but onComplete seems to be fired before the inner scripts. Thanks, Nicolas

How could I tell if an element is visible? Not visible as in the css display property, but visible in the browser''s clipping area.

Hi all, I have observed the following on Firefox 1.5 (both on XP and OSX): My page has some div containers that hold sortable ul. The div's also contain links for showing/hiding the contained ul's. No matter which effect I use to do the hiding and showing (Fade/Appear, SlideUp/Down, BlindUp/Down) the hidden ul's don't hide completely, leaving a blank 'trace' behind.

This is probably a dumb question, but is there an easy way to set the focus of a form to the first visible/editable element? I''ve been googling lots and searching documentation and haven''t come up with anything. Help would be appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
