similar to: Stopping Prototype''s PeriodicalExecuter()

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

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"

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

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

I apologize if this is not an appropriate question for this list (I couldn''t find a mailing list for prototype). Anybody know of a way to use the stop the PeriodicalExecuter in prototype from executing? In traditional js, I would just call "clearInterval(id)". Many Thanks, Josh _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list

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. :)

>From a quick look at the source code, it looks like onComplete is only called when the whole thing is done - in the case of Updater, right after the update, in the case of PeriodicalUpdater, right after it has been stopped. It looks like you need to pass your callback method as an ''insertion'' method in the options. This takes two parameters, the first will probably be the

The only call that PeriodicalUpdater will make periodically to you is the insertion call. I think of onComplete as being ''I''ve done everything I was going to do'', which for Updater is right after it''s done a single update, but for PeriodicalUpdater, it''s after it''s finished all of its updates, so you''ll only get it once for any call

Hello all, I know it''s a Prototype question, but I hope someone can tell me what I''m doing wrong (I hope Prototype gets documented soon ;-( Problem: using a onComplete callback with Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater (using scriptaculous 1.5 with Prototype 1.4) Works: function fooBar() { Element.hide(''foobar''); } new

Hello , I have a PeriodicalUpdater executing every x seconds and sends a ajax request to update an element. Each time it comes back, the element is getting replaced with some html and and possibly <script>coolFunction()</script>. This seems to work fine when for prototype 1.5. However when I upgraded to prototype 1.6, it seems to execute coolFunction() as many times as the request has

I have an Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater updating a div on my page and I want to be able to execute the stop method when the div contains certain content. As I understand it, I cannot pass in an options.onComplete handler and onSuccess is executed before the response is completely interpreted by the browser. I tried using Ajax.Responders, but that didn''t seem to help. Do I need use AjaxUpdater

Using the PeriodicalUpdater, I''m finding the onComplete is not firing. I thought I''d get some feedback here before filing a bug report. http://ianty.com/updater/update_test_1.6.0.1.html http://ianty.com/updater/update_test_1.6.0.html The above are examples of this for prototype 1.6.0 & 1.6.0.1. I''m expecting the onComplete to fire after the update takes place, per

Hello, I am using the AutoCompleter to great effect. However, the site design I have been constrained by has <select> elements/drop down boxes below the AutoCompleter field. This means that in Internet Explorer 6 the drop down elements appear on top of the floating DIV when rendered in the browser. Mozilla floats the DIV on top of the select elements as expected. Has anyone encountered,

Hi *, We don''t know if you guys are the right audience, but we got a problem with prototype.js we need to solve. Essentially, it is a compatibility bug with the IE. We wrote a component so it updates itself periodically using AJAX. we used the prototype.js to accomplish this (using the periodicalUpdater object). now the component works fine using firefox or opera, but NOT with IE. the

I have something I want to do with the periodicalupdater.. 1) place text in a field by id (I know how to do this part as periodicalupdater makes is quite easy) 2) run a javascript statement to assign a value to a variable. Any ideas how I can do this with one periodicalupdater statement? Thanks, --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are

Hi all I have to deal with multiple PeriodicalExecuters over several Interfaces. Each has it own. Now this all works, but i when i go back and forth between them i spawn another and another etc... I tried to push the instance of PE to a global array and on each change in the interface invoke a stop() on them. This sounds okay, but it is obviously not working 100% of the time. Any ideas how to

Hi, I don''t know what might cause this, but maybe you do. If I put the code below in a html-file and open it in a popup. I get an error on row 129 in the latest prototype.js bundled with 1.6.5. popup.html: <script type="text/javascript" src="/inc/api/prototype.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> Event.observe(window,
