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

I''ve got a page I''ve implemented a bunch of observables and sortables. There are around 330 items in the list. The Observables (for hide/show of sublists) don''t seem to impact performance, but the Sortables take a very long time to load when the page is refreshed or submitted--even after accounting for the server-side processing and latency. I''ve

I''m looking for onSuccess: in Ajax.InPlaceEditor, but it doesn''t appear to exist. onComplete isn''t what I need because I only want my callback on success. Is there a way to do this? Thanks, Jamie

I want to build a sortable list that updates the server when the item is dropped into its new position. How to create a sortable list is clear, but I''m looking for an example of how to integrate this with the server side. Are there any examples or tutorials around? I''m working in a java environment. Thanks, Jamie

Near the end of the Sortable.serialize() method, there is a split command that splits on an underscore. What is the convention it''s following here and is it documented somewhere? Thanks, Jamie serialize: function(element) { element = $(element); var sortableOptions = this.options(element); var options = Object.extend({ tag: sortableOptions.tag, only:

I just want to confirm that it''s *not* possible to sort <tr>s in tables.... Jamie

I''ve registered onClick events I want to trigger from javascript, but can''t seem to find a way to do this. It seems like it should be obvious and easy, but I''m not finding the answer. :-( Thanks, Jamie

I''m getting the following error. Which apt-get install <some missing package> do I need to run? looks like some build tools. Building native extensions. This could take a while... extconf.rb:1:in `require'': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError) from extconf.rb:1 ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError) ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I''m curious if anyone else has a need to disable *convertHTMLLineBreaks*. I actually need to show the <p>''s and <br>''s in the editor and browsing the source code, see that this isn''t configurable. Jamie

What''s the current status of Markaby? I''ve played with it a bit and love it and am considering using it for a large project I''m starting. If you''ve used it, I''d love to hear your comments! Jamie

I''m setting up a Rails app for a client that uses Windows. I''m getting this error: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.18/lib/mongrel/rails.rb: 32: uninitial ized constant Mongrel::HttpHandler (NameError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/ custom_require.rb:21:in `re quire'' from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.18/bin/

I''m running the latest mongrel (1.0.1) and the latest mongrel_cluster (1.0.1.1) on FreeBSD 6.1. When I use capistrano to try to stop or restart my cluster I get this (partial) output: ps: Process environment requires procfs(5) And my Mongrel processes haven''t stopped. Any ideas? Thanks, Jamie

how can I get a float to always print two decimal places? Thanks, Jamie

Ok, So I followed the directions.. I did a ''gem install markaby'' (which sounds like its enough to get me going for rails), but I wasn''t sure, so I tried to install the plugin as well. Plugin installation fails looking for a file: Script/plugin install http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/svn/markaby/trunk Outputs this error: + ./trunk/svnindex.xsl

I''ve got some sorting working now, but when the page loads and when I drag, I keep getting this error: "Error: item.id has no properties" My <ul> and <li> elements all have ids. Do child elements all need ids? Here''s the code from dragdrop.js where the error is being thrown ( a few lines from the bottom of the file, line 501--HEAD version) serialize:

I''m trying to use a partial from within Markaby. I haven''t been able to figure out how to access a parameter passed into the partial. Here''s the code I''m using: h1 "Create a new note" if @note render :partial => ''form/errors'', :record => @note end ... (that snippet, as well as the partial is stolen shamelessly from Restolog

Heya, I''ve just released script.aculo.us V1.5_pre1. Please give it a try! Important new stuff (since V1.1b1): * Added a main scriptaculous.js file to load in the other libraries transparently. * Fixed a condition where standard a href=xxx links wouldn''t work in autocomplete results. These do now, the onclick event is not cancelled. [thx to Jasper Slits] * Added

I''ve found that when I revert this change, toggle works again. Otherwise, it''s broken (Mac OS Tiger, Safari and Firefox): - element.style.display = - (element.style.display == ''none'' ? '''' : ''none''); + Element[Element.visible(element) ? ''show'' : ''hide''](element); I looked

I''ve seen some reports of problems with running Rails (version 1.0 here) on Ruby 1.8.3. Is this true across the board or just Mac OS? I''m setting up a Linux server and want to know if 1.8.3 is ok on that. Thanks, Jamie
