I''m using scriptaculous'' SlideUp and SlideDown effects to animate a menu. Specifically, I SlideUp, make some CSS changes, and SlideDown. All works well, except that for a split second in between, the element''s display becomes ''none'' and the other menu item jump into the space. I haven''t been able to find any way to force an element to retain

Ok, I finally got the slideshow code to a state worth showing it off. The site is a very rough cut of a site I''m building for my wife''s photography, so ignore the unfinished design for now :) http://rachel.kathihill.com/ To see the ajax version, go to: http://rachel.kathihill.com/?ajax=1 To randomize the order the images show: http://rachel.kathihill.com/?random=1 To change

Hello everybody. I''m wondering if there is away with scriptaculous to update multiple form fields with data after finishing an autocomplete request. Heres an example. Joe BlowSchmoe fills in his name and starts to type in the customer number, he selects the approprate customer number from autocomplete list, and bam the address associated with the customer number is populated into the

Maybe I''m anal but I like fat-free JS, so I pulled the Proptotype and core Scriptaculous files into one single JS file at 49Kb. It''s "packed" so if you care about that kind of thing, it''s also "obfuscated". Download from my personal site at www.alistercameron.com. - Alister PS. Of course this is the current version as posted on the

I have button that slides down a menu using Effect.BlindDown, but the function that slides it down also makes it so that the opening link now slides the menu back in. If the user double clicks the link (thuse opening & closing immediatley) the slide animation breaks, then will not extend correctly (but no JS errors). How would you go about stopping this happening? Also, is it just me or is

I asked the other day about this problem but haven''t received a response. Trying again: I just downloaded 1.6 and can''t get a simple draggable to work, which is weird. I know it''s not my browser since the demos are working. Here is my simple code. I''ve also had the "new Draggable" between the select tags. Didn''t change anything.

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.

Hi, I''m working on a french website and I use the Form.serialize method to send the info through AJAX. The thing is that the accentuated letters (é,ê,à, etc.) don''t get replaced by their HTML entities and they get corrupted when retrieving the data. How could I fix that? thanks a lot, Blaise Bernie

Hi, I''ve been working on new ideas for a JavaScript drag and drop library. I haven''t found a drag and drop library flexible enough for my needs and I think I have come up with something that is generally worthwhile. I use the DOM and Event utilities from Yahoo! UI and no Prototype.js. I''m interested in any ideas or suggestions people might have. Blog

I''m working again on unloading events before making my ajax call. This code works on Firefox/Opera, but IE doesn''t seem to get the onclick events registered. Could someone with IE take a look? http://hank.org/demos/ajax3.html The js is included in that file. There''s alerts() to show when the events are registered. The idea of the code is to look for any

This is obviously rough draft and not thoroughly tested, but it seems to work. If you''d like, give it a try (load it after you load prototype.js): Function.prototype.bindAsEventListener = function(object) { var __method = this; return function(event) { return __method.call(object, new SuperEvent(event || window.event)); } } var SuperEvent = Class.create();

Hi, i am new to ajax and new to script.aculo.us. I created a blog, http://www.zorpal.com/blog/, using some of the script.aculo.us features and commands. My sites works great in firefox, which everyone should be using, but if you open it in IE it kills it. It only kills it after a script.aculo.us motion has been called and finishs it''s execution. i really like the layout and the visual

I posted the following earlier: "I need a way to do a blind up that makes the element APPEAR and a blind down that makes the element DISAPPEAR. In essence, the opposite of the current blindup/blinddown. Thoughts?" I think somebody responded in Dutch. Anyone else have any ideas? -- Yehuda Katz Web Developer (ph) 718.877.1325 (fax) 718.686.4288

Regarding DragDrop I am wondering what the deal about Internet Explorer 6 is. My application is near to final and now while testing browsers all but the IE6 are running as supposed to. Any other browser is performing smooth movement while IE compared provides a very bad expirience. I''ve seen some "tuning" infos on this list but they are either outdated or not actually working

I''ve not looked into how it''s done but adding an attachment in Gmail (UK version) uploads the file without refreshing the window, and http://www.yousendit.com <http://www.yousendit.com/> appears to send a file via some sort of RPC or AJAX. Maybe this could be another starting point for you. Paul Shannon Web Applications Developer Codeweavers Limited Tel: 0870 443

Hello, I''m having an issue with getting embedded javascript code to actually run when loaded via an Ajax.Request() call and the callback function inserts the generated HTML and js code to my current page. It seems that the javascript code is not properly parsing. For example, I''m using the following function showinfo() to return some html code. function showInfo(go_url){

Is there a way to cancel a specific effect? For instance; Effects are added to the queue. Before actually processing the effect, I''d like to check a condition & cancel the effect if necessary. Here''s the code excerpt: var menu = { toggleText: function(element,toggle) { var vis = $(element+''Text'').visible(); if (toggle && !vis)

Hi, i''ve been experimentating with dynamicCSS.js [1] to hide content only if JavaScript is enabled. It works pretty well and fires before onload to avoid the flash of visible content. Now i''m wondering if there is a Prototype way of doing this. [1] http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/articles/dynamicCSS.php My main problem is that Prototype functions like Element.toggle() do

I had to make a sort of slideshow for a site I''m working on, and I was thinking of making it into a Scriptaculous object. Anyone think of reasons why I shouldn''t? You''d have to pass in all the image urls and a div id, with an optional delay parameter to determine how long to leave each image up before moving on. I could also have a ''randomize''

Hello, does someone knows how gmail does file upload when the attached files are automatically saved in drafts ? I am trying to do it in Scriptalicious/Prototype but I don''t see how they get the file on the system using js...
