similar to: Scrolling Tables/Divs?

When using drag and drop, the browser window will not scroll if you move the mouse off the page. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible to create certain types of web applications. I know this has been mentioned before and is on the Wish List, but it''s very frustrating. If you look at this other Javascript library called "Drag''nDrop & DHTML Library"

Does the duplicate clone method of Position serve a subtle purpose that I don''t understand? I feel kind of foolish even asking, but ... I just don''t get it. I''ve been looking at this for a couple days now and as far as I can tell, the first definition is useless as it gets overlaid by the second one. I don''t see any closure trickery going on here, either.

hi. I''m rewriting the code from my own save-yourself-if-you-can implementation of xmlhttprequest to scriptaculous autocompleter, and it''s all fine and dandy, except that I am having difficulty positioning the auto_complete div which contains the results returned by xmlhttprequest. the auto_complete div is always stuck in one place, it starts a little below and half

Hey everyone, I''m looking for a good way to display a table of data in rails. I want something with scroll bars and resizable columns. Am I crazy for trying this? Is there a class or such already written that makes pretty data grids? -Josh ----------- Due to the recent increase in spam and falsely sent email, I now PGP Sign all of my outgoing mail to prove my identity.

Note that one of the 8 patches (#6) will be sent separately in reply to this email, as some of the replaced lines are too long, so git won't let me send the email. However, there is nothing wrong with that patch, and it should be applied in the sequence listed below. Note also that I assume this will be tested on a clean f11 install, rather than an upgrade of an existing ovirt server

I''m no friend of paging, but I have to somehow deal with lists of potentially large numbers of objects. The Rico LiveGrid[*] at first blush seems attractive, but has some major drawbacks. It doesn''t work with Safari/Konqueror, not yet anyway. It can only handle fixed-size tables and requires that widths, including column widths, are hand-crafted. I''m looking for a

Hey everybody, I encountered an interesting problem today. Here is what I have: I used the prototype function "Position.clone(src, target)" which actually copies the top, left, offsetWidth and offsetHeight from the src to the target. interestingly, my src-object had a css-styled border of 1px, and a total offsetWidth of 320px. my target-object had the same properties, but once I

Greetings all. I''m using the Microsoft "NorthWind Traders" database "orders" table as test data for the Rico LiveGrid JavaScript. The problem I''m noticing is that some of the records in the "ShipName" field contain ampersands -- which for some reason are not being escaped by Rails. Rails does in fact automatically escape all of the other

Hi Has anyone used OpenRico''s "on-demand listbox" LiveGrid or something similar in a Rails app already? How well does it behave? I''m asking this because I need a scrollable list but the number of records in the table could be well above 5000. In the past I''ve used similar "on-demand fetchings" in desktop apps and it was a real blessing (the

Hey All, I have a fairly basic question about the prototype.js library. First, I''ve been looking for documentation on this and I have yet to find it. If any of you know of any, please let me know. Since I''m new to both the scriptaculous and prototype libraries could someone explain why I would want to use the cumulativeOffset method and not to just grab the offset off

I''m trying to get a Rico LiveGrid working, and I am a bit stuck on how to accomplish this. I have a page that successfully queries a controller and updates a <div> containing a table. I have two versions of the action; one uses the render_partial to return a rendered version of that table, and the other returns an XML-RPC document, and this is where I hit a snag. The Rico LiveGrid

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

I have two scrollable div''s (overflow:auto), one with a list of elements (the source) and the other is the drop target (dest). I''ve enabled ghosting so that the drag element gets out of the scrollable box (good). Interesting, at least on Firefox, the ghosted drag ends up going ''under'' the destination div when I drag it. No amount of z-order fidding seems to

I''m trying to understand the Position object. Specially the various offset methods. From looking at the code I think I may understand them but I wanted to run it by the group to make sure I had a clear understanding. realOffset - This returns the coordinates of the element as if none of the elements on the page are scrollable from the document edge. cumulativeOffset - This returns

Hi all, should it be considered a bug that Element.getDimensions returns the offsetWidth and offsetHeight properties from elemens having not display none, but clientWidth and clientHeight from elements with display none? Or is it a feature? Regards Lorenz

Thomas, I''m mostly writing this to you. A couple weeks ago I grabbed the latest SVN version of dragdrop.js because I needed the auto-scroll functionality. I just fixed something in that script that wasn''t working correctly and thought you might want to hear about it. You may have already caught it since I grabbed the script but here it is anyway. In the updateDrag() function

I am currently in the middle of creating a horizontal scrolling product list with page buttons that use effects to scroll from one page to another using scriptaculous. I am having problem that when the window is resized, so only the viewable area of the div changes, this causes the width to change and then because of that the scroll effect will scroll to position 2000 but then when the scroll bar

I noticed that in a case where I use Position.clone, the element with the cloned position is displayed somewhere off. My understanding of positioning is a bit shaky at times, but I think clone needs to take into account the scroll offsets as shown below. Michael var Position = { ... clone: function(source, target) { source = $(source); target = $(target);

Hi everyone, lately I''ve implemented an auto completion textfield at the bottom of a form. I was a bit bothered by the fact that the user would potentially need to scroll down in order to see all the options offered by the auto completion. I couldn''t find any information on how to auto scroll to the auto completion list with bulit-in functionality so I modified controls.js
