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 -

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

Hello, I''m maintaining the PEAR-installable PHP packages for both script.aculo.us and Prototype on Pearified.com. I saw the 1.5_pre4 release of script.aculo.us yesterday, and would like to release the update on Pearified.com, but don''t want to release hacked versions of Prototype. I saw that Prototype was updated to 1.4.0_pre4 yesterday as well ... Is that a suitable package

I am new to script.aculo.us and prototype and I am having problem using it. It only has problem in IE. There is no problem in Firefox and it works fine. I am using script.aculo.us InPlaceEditor and it always returns object expected as an exception. What I could debug so far is I could see element and url which are the parameters. I could see object in Ajax.InPlaceEditor after creating class but

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, I''m fairly new to script.aculo.us, so hopefully this is the right place to ask this question. I have the following situation (pseudo-code): <div> <Droppable 1> <Droppable 2> </div> <div (scrollable)> <Draggable 1> <Draggable 2> ... </div> Basically, my Draggables are inside a scrollable <div> element (the interface

Hi, When I''m using the Prototype version attached to script.aculo.us 1.6.5 (Prototype 1.5.0_rc1 revision [5462]) I get some "Object doesn''t support this property or method" in the Effect.BlindDown method (when the method tries to get the dimentions). If I''m using the version of prototype that was attached to 1.6.4 I do not get this error. Is this a known

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

Heya, As handling the bug reports and patches through the list and some obsure wiki pages became ever more complicated, I can gladly announce that from now on patches and bug reports are handling at the Ruby on Rails trac. There''s a new component called "script.aculo.us" that should be set on all bug reports and patches that affect script.aculo.us. Please do not use the

Hi list, So, some hard work today, but the Wiki is quickly taking shape. I''ve now moved all the documentation I could find into it. The URL again: http://wiki.script.aculo.us/ There are also some new features in there, like: FAQ: http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/FAQ Wishlist (moved from Rails wiki): http://wiki.script.aculo.us/ scriptaculous/show/TheWishlist And the

Hey guys, I''m the author of the recently-released Javascript package loader, jspkg, that was just released to Sourceforge. I''m trying to judge interest in using this library loader for various unobtrusive Javascript libraries like script.aculo.us. jspkg requires very minimal changes to the included source files and most libaries won''t require any code to be

Read more on it here: http://mir.aculo.us/articles/2005/10/09/script-aculo-us-v1-5_rc3- second-release-candidate Note that it''s rc3 that follows rc1, because rc2 was the version used for the initial Rails import of script.aculo.us V1.5_rc. Thanks to all the contributors, bug reporters and testers! Thomas

Hi, all! Look here http://www.artlebedev.ru/tools/technogrette/etc/admin/ (the bottom example) Can I do somethinhg like this using prototype and script.aculo.us? I think we need to: 1. get X and Y position of the Draggable 2 set revert = true or false by calculating positiong of the nearest Droppable 3 If Draggable is accepted by Droppable - set snap:[xd,yd], where xd and yd - Droppable
