My Java servlets can generate both JavaScript objects, like JSON, and XML. I can generate both pretty easily. What''s best practice for AJAX responses? Return scripts to be evaled by the Ajax control, or return XML documents and iterate them using XML DOM? Thanks. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html -

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

Here''s an blog on how I''m using Prototype and script.aculo.us... http://engrm.com/blogometer/2005/09/28/relay-and-javascript-generators/ If anyone is interested in generating views and models for script.aculo.us controllers in XSLT 2.0 please let me know. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html -

Hi all, I am working on a Google Suggest Like thing, where you can add / remove, drag n drop ... mini-apps, it is nearly done but I need some advices (here it is if you want to check it : http://dev.karibou.org/default/edit ). I am using Sortables, is it the best way to do it ? I needed to modify the Serialize function cause I didn''t like the way I had to id my elements. Sorry, the

Hi All, So I''m using scriptaculous in rails to allow opening and closing of messages in a threaded forum without the need for reloading the entire page. What I was wondering was if there was some way to store the state (which messages are open and which are closed) in a cookie or something, so that when the user does reload the page the messages won''t all be reset to their

Hi all, I was wondering if one could pull a completely separate web site into a div, e.g. <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater(''artifact'', ''http://www.vivisimo.com/'', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, onLoading:function(request){Toggle.display(''message2body'')}}); return false;">&raquo;</a> it fails

Are their other forms for Prototype and script.aculo.us developers? Know I''ve asked before, but I''ll ask again. Make sure I''m not missing anything. Thanks. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html - http://engrm.com/blogometer/rss.2.0.xml

The last time I worked with DHTML I found myself using a lot of expando properties. I''d set properties and event handlers on an element, and I''d handle events in one place. I see that there are a lot of JavaScript objects created in scriptaculous, and I''m not seeing expandos yet. I found it much easier to treat the document as a data structure

What makes script.aculo.us and Prototype so darn special? I was using some of the facilities of Prototype, and came around to understanding that it was different somehow, but I couldn''t figure out how exactly. I was using static methods for a while, but when I wrapped my functions into and object the library suddenly started to do some serious lifting.

Hi, I am trying to play with all the methods in the Array Object. Just wanted to check with you guys if this is the correct explanation of toQueryParams(). If yes, then I''ll add it to the documentation as well. Works for me (but I am not sure if it''s the correct way to use it). /* String.prototype.toQueryParams takes a query string, i.e, string with name value pairs

hi all, I''ve built a simple javascript datepicker for use with Rails. I''m sure others exist, but think this one is quite decent without being overengineered. http://projects.exactlyoneturtle.com/date_picker/ At present there''s no Rails HTML generator method for it; later I will package it in a script/generator, but for now it is quite easy to use with Rails and

Hi, I noticed that the scriptaculous shopping cart demo doesn''t work in safari 1.03. I was wondering if there was documentation somewhere that would tell me what my minimal browser requirements were for running scriptaculous? I found this comparative analysis on the web: http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Projects/AjaxLibraries but I think it might be a bit out of date. I did

Hi, Can anyone please point me in the direction of a good prototype tutorial? I''m not sure if one exists yet or not but I havn''t been able to find a comprehensive one yet.

Hi all, I''m having a problem with an Ajax.Request. I can''t figure out how I can pass an event (an onclick on a checkbox) which causes the Ajax Request, to be recognized in an onSuccess function. Here''s my simplified code: var RequiredField = Class.create(); RequiredField.prototype = { initialize: function(chkbox) { this.chkbox = chkbox; this.chkbox.onclick =

Hi All, In scriptaculous scripts, I don''t understand this syntaxe : $(element) --8<--------------------------------- Effect.Highlight = Class.create(); Object.extend(Object.extend(Effect.Highlight.prototype, Effect.Base.prototype), { initialize: function(element) { this.element = $(element); ... --8<--------------------------------- I had never seen this syntaxe, I

Hi, I''ve been playing with sortable, the demos on script.aculo.us and reading the javascript. I hope I''m not just missing the documentation somewhere but I can''t find it. I want to do something like Sortable for the admin side of an open source ecommerce project I''m working on [1]. I''m relatively new to DHTML but understand the basic ideas. If someone

Hi, Is it possible to submit my form (or part of my form) with an ajax request? I had been using dojo to do this, but having just read up on the prototype library, I think I''d rather use prototype. The one thing I don''t see (maybe I''m just missing it) is the ability to submit my form (actually just parse through an element and include all inputs as request parameters)

I have been reading the documentation at: http://www.sergiopereira.com/articles/prototype.js.html One of the examples does this: var someNodeList = $(''lstEmployees'').getElementsByTagName(''option''); var nodes = $A(someNodeList); nodes.each(function(node){ alert(node.nodeName + '': '' + node.innerHTML); }); How can I access the array index as

Hello to all list members... Exchuse for my bad english, I don''t write english very well. I''m searching for a solution to hilight a div when his value change. The value in these div is take from Ajax.Updater . the code is: new Ajax.Updater(''acc'',''tools/head_info.php'',{asynchronous:true}); and have a settimeout to recall it every 5 seconds.

Can anyone point me to an example of how to use the Insertion.Before technique? I''ve just begun trying to use AJAX and worked through Curt''s "Ajax on Rails". The description in AWD of what this does is just what I need, there''s no example of how to use it, and I''m getting no joy using Google. Any help is tremendously appreciated. -------------- next
