All I realise that this isn''t strictly the correct place to discuss the prototype lib but being as scriptaculous is dependent on it I thought people might have some opinions. Easier to explain with the example below, copy into a html file and ensure the path to prototype.js is correct. You''ll see the first example prints an extra element "extend" when iterating over

Hi there! My first post to this list, so first of all many thanks for the amazing Scriptaculous library. I''m currently using it for some nice Ajax effects in Apache Cocoon (http://cocoon.apache.org/). I''m currently struggling with Sortable, which I would like to adapt as the conventions used in Cocoon are different from those currently used. Basically, I would like to send

Hi all, when I want to interate through an array, all those pesky Prototype functions get in my way! When I do this: --------------------- r=""; for(x in new Array()) { r+="var: "+x+", val: "+ (new Array())[x]+"\n"; } alert(r); --------------------- I get a giant alert window with loads of functions printed out. Is this a bug, or is there a better way to

Hi All Not strictly Scriptaculous but I came across this whilst trying to implement some Scriptaculous code. I am hoping some XHTML guru out there might be able to shed some light. If you load up the attached file in IE6, you''ll see the events only fire in the middle section of the title bar when your over the border ! - FF1.5 is fine.. Any thoughts / comments appreciated.. Cheers

Hi, I''m using prototype within ruby on rails. One limitation I''d like to overcome is the restriction of beeing able to update just one html elements content using from_remote_tag or link_to_remote. AFAICS this is just a restriction of the form_remote_tag/link_to_remote implementation and it''s underlying Ajax.Updater class. Right? In theorie there should be no problem,

Perhaps I missed something but I don''t see an easy way to do this ? Basically just wanna hold some ui state in a cookie. Did I miss something obvious ?

Hey all, I''m not sure if IE can support this, but I''m trying to get the dimensions of an element that has percentages for height/width. In the example code below, I''m trying to get the dimensions for the ''MyCell'' element. Firefox supports Element.getDimensions(''MyCell''), but IE returns 0 for the height & width returned by that

var height = someElementReference.offsetHeight; and to set it: someElementReference.style.height = "100"; It is worth saying that offsetHeight and offsetWidth are non-standard compliance. They will give you the total rendering height and this will cause problems in IE since they use a different box model than FireFox. So you will have to do some height juggling in IE if you are using

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

Hi there, I thought it''s rather neat to use the javascript compression from http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/compressor_system.html This removes javascript comments and renames variables and seems pretty reliable and effective. For example, I keep the original htmlarea.js file from http://xinha.gogo.co.nz/ in a file htmlarea.js.txt and it compresses from 200K to 100K. With gzip it

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

Hi All Before I investigate further, has anyone implemented an Autocompleter that will auto scroll down / up the results div as the user moves down through the list (using arrow keys) ? Any pointers / thoughts appreciated. Best Matt *********************************************************************************** The Royal Bank of Scotland plc. Registered in Scotland No 90312.

Hello everyone. I am not sure if this is the right place to post, please redirect me if there is a mailinglist more specifically dealing with prototype.js. After playing around with the very inspiring prototype library I have found a rather annoying thing, that makes the usefulness of the Enumerable mixin for Hashes questionable, if I am not totally wrong (again :-). Here an example:

hi i would lke implement attended transfert (or consultative transfer) on asterisk server, but i don't find doc about this. Could you help me with some doc about attended transfert? thanks

Hey folks I am just investigating using Aspects for logging my main Javascript "interfaces". I don''t believe Prototype has any built in capabilities for this but I just thought I''d check and see how people had tackled this before. I am still getting to grips with core JS so apologies if this is easy or obvious.. I am Googling as we speak also.. Cheers Matt

I am bit confused with this function. Should I be able to pass in a DOM element e.g. someAjaxRequest.responseXML and interrogate it ? Seems not but perhaps I am missing something... TIA Matt

Hi all, I''m happy to announce that I''ve completed the first version of my Ajax.RssReader object. It needs some extra''s, but the basic functionality is now available. You can download it from http://www.sayoutloud.com/javascripts/rssreader.js Usage: function myCallbackFunction( rss ) { alert(rss.channel.title); for(n=0; n<rss.items.length; n++) {

Are these libs compatible ? At the very least I''d like to be able to use Prototype &amp; Dojo ? Thoughts welcome..

Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone here write AGI's in compiled binaries. I'm writing a small Cepstral AGI in Freepascal/Lazarus. I know there are some other AGI's out there, but I wanted to add some more functionality than what is available such as having the AGI determine if the "data" argument is plain text or a path to a text file and act accordingly. The

I need to reliably boot a server from a USB device. Since USB device ordering can be unpredictable, I wrote a simple early-userspace "init" program to find the root FS on the correct USB device & partition. I have "labeled" the root ext2 FS on the USB drive, and the program searches for the label by examining the bytes at a specific offset from the beginning of the
