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 -

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.

Are there any tutorials or howtos on scriptaculous or Prototype? -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com - http://engrm.com/blogometer/index.html - http://engrm.com/blogometer/rss.2.0.xml

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 -

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

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 *, 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

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

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, 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 list, With the very latest SVN trunk of script.aculo.us having all sorts of nice unit testing thanks to efforts of Jon Tirsen (and some make-it- look-good additions from Michael Schuerig) a very nice framework for (more or less pragmatic) in-browser unit testing of JavaScript (and HTML!) has come in to place (it''s still to be considered quite alpha, but it basically works).

Hi, I am a new member of this group. We are using autocomplete box from "script.aculo.us". It uses the prototype.js file. We are creating the auto completer dynamically in a table. Our code was working on FireFox(FF) but was giving error on InternetExplorer(IE). So we upgraded the prototype.js file today from version 1.5.0 to 1.6.0.2. Only this particular change was done. When we

Hi, I would like to parse the rss files using just dom/javascript (don''t want any server side processing). I know that xmlhttp can''t contact 3rd party but i''ll route it through one of the backend scripts. I was wondering if there is some easy to use feature in these libraries that can help me parse rss feeds?

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 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

No, not a question, but a few suggestions. I take it that everyone serious about using Prototype & Co. already has Christophe''s (Porteneuve) Prototype and Script.aculo.us book. Apart from that, I''d like to point out two new, library-agnostic books: Cameron Adams and several others The Art & Science of JavaScript Sitepoint 2008 http://www.sitepoint.com/books/jsdesign1/

Hey all, I''m attempting create a photo album that can be re-ordered using the great scipts from script.aculo.us <http://script.aculo.us>. It seems to work as expected when I pretty much copy and paste the puzzle example but when I try and be a bit trickier (changing the movable elements to be divs containing images) things get wierd. I''m able to "pick" the

Hi, I''m new to this mailing list, so first off, a big THANK YOU for the script.aculo.us and prototype.js libraries. I''m trying to integrate script.aculo.us into an existing pretty large Javascript codebase (see http://openrecord.org). I''m running into a problem with prototype.js and the existing codebase''s use of for/in loops over an Array.

Hi, I changed the XML parser who have been write by Greg (Gregory Hill) and changed some things. It did not work in IE and Safari and opera. I fixed some bugs. Now it works fine in IE, Safari, Firefox and Opera. /* --------------------------------------- */ XMLParser = Class.create(); Object.extend(XMLParser.prototype, { initialize: function (XMLFile, options) {
