Hello, I just got done trying to find some documentation on how to use the Ajax functions in prototype and found no luck except for in this list. I am wondering if anyone is willing to help me start a wiki for these scripts. I have website that I will gladly use to host this. please let me know if anyone else see''s the value in this. If everyone is up for doing this I will be more

I''ve just had a look again at the autocompletion demo that Thomas put up at http://script.aculo.us/demos/ajax/autocompleter Unfortunately, in Konqueror (3.4.1) it doesn''t work at all. Not even an error is triggered. It does work nicely in Firefox. How about Safari? I don''t have the time right now to track this down systematically (maybe latter), but just from

I just upgraded to the new version and now my storable containers are not working. here is my code. Sortable.create("leadstories", {handle:''handle'',tag:''div'',containment:''leadstories'',onUpdate: function(element) { new save_order(issueId,Sortable.serialize(element)); }}); Sortable.create("rightnav",

Hello, I want to have my box that I''m sliding down hidden when I start and then slidedown to 100px. What is the best way to do this? I don''t see anything on the wiki about it.

I have a suggestion for the demo scripts on the http://script.acolo.us site. Currently only the source for ruby on rails is shown. I think it would be beneficial for the site to also so how do it with just basic html also. Let me know what you guys think about this idea.

Currently, pages generated by Rails tend to be sprinkled with JavaScript. This happens, because the various helper methods work only locally and simply append to the output. In order to hide the JavaScript away, rendering would probably have to be changed. A way I can think of is that a page-specific script is included in the head of the document and JavaScript code is not written to the

Yahoo! recently unveiled their UI Libraries which appear to provide a lot of the functionality that script.aculo.us and prototype does. I''ve tried some of the demos and the effects run quite smooth/fast. Could be an opportunity for us to adapt some ideas/approaches to improve. http://developer.yahoo.net/yui/

Somewhere between 0.13.1 and the current SVN version the :overwrite_params option to url_for (and related methods) went missing. I can''t tell whether this was deliberate or by mistake, and I have no idea how to get the same functionality in some other way either. Michael -- Michael Schuerig Life is what happens

I have this code. <script type="text/javascript"> Sortable.create(''orderable'', {onUpdate: doAlert}); function doAlert() { alert("Hello"); } </script> But when I move an item it doesn''t fire the doAlert command, am I missing something?

Two Questions: 1. Is the WIKI down? I can''t access it. 2. With the auto complete is there a way to have it display something but have a value of something else, the way a select box works.

Hello, I want to use the builder modules for an admin tool I''m currently working on but I just all the note that I cannot create td and tr tags with it. It works fine in FF but not it IE. Can someone please explain why this is? Thanks.. <http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002524&r=212822110> Jon Whitcraft Indianapolis Motor Speedway

It''s been a few days since I posted my last two emails (of which, no one replied to) so I''ve gone ahead and coded a working slider class as well as a ''resizeable'' class that allows a user to drag and resize the element. I also linked these two together as I want to have slider behavior that can resize the resizeable element. The end result is both the

I''ve noticed that using several TimedObservers (prototype.js) on a page to watch for changes to text fields (haven''t tried forms) can have a non-negligible effect on the CPU cycles used by the browser process. Nothing dramatic, to be sure, but unnecessary. Autocompleter.Base (controls.js) follows a smarter strategy to watch for changes. Currently this functionality is tied

I''m looking for a documentation generator for JavaScript code that can handle the coding style used in prototype.js and script.aculo.us. Any recommendations for such a tool? In a similar vein, does it make a noticeable difference in production when comments are removed and several script files are combined into a single one? Michael -- Michael Schuerig Most people

I''m trying to call a click() event on an <a href> that has an Observable registered for it. Something like: <a href="#" id="toggle_1929">show</a> ... Event.observe("toggle_1929", ''click'', function(event){ Element.toggle ("group_1929"); return false; }); ... $("toggle_1929").click(); //this throws

Can someone please explain to me what I need to do to create an Ajax class using the prototype lib.

I have the attached class that I''m writing. The problem that I''m running into is that I can not access the options from the createArray function which get called after the ajax request gets done. I want to move the values of the xml file to an array and story it in the options variable. Can someone explain what I''m doing wrong? var LeaderInfo = Class.create();

Prototype.js and Thomas''s effects scripts use repeated setTimeout calls for timed looping, for instance in time-based observers. On Konqueror 3.4.1 (possibly other khtml-based browsers, too), these observers reproducibly crash the browser. Just keeping open a browser with such an observer is enough. After some time it invariably segfaults. When I substitute setInterval for setTimeout

Hey everyone, I''m interested in extending ActiveRecord::Base. I have a special "easier" find function that I want to include in all classes. How can I include this in all classes? Can I just create a model object that does something like this: class ExtendedAR < ActiveRecord::Base def self.special_find ... end end and then all my other classes
