similar to: Problems with repeated calls to setTimeout?

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 noticed that some of my event handlers and scripts evaluated in ajax responses didn''t work in Konqueror (3.5.5). document.getElementsByClassName is not defined in these contexts. I can work around this, by saving document.getElementsByClassName in a (namespaced) global variable once and reassigning it before each use. Still, this misfeature is annoying and not restricted to this

Has someone come up with a generic way to handle ajax requests that exceed a certain time? In my concrete case, I have several select boxes for drilling down a hierarchy. When the user clicks an option, the next deeper level is retrieved. To avoid multiple concurrent requests, I disable the select box. As the request may take too long or cause an error, I set a timeout that re-enables the

below is a very simple bash script to run Sweave from a cygwin terminal, run pdflatex on the generated .tex file, and then view the resulting .pdf output. i usually use cygwin when i am (forced to be on) Windoze, but i found a few issues with paths that this script works around. pdfview, used in the script, is simply:

Thomas, currently the script.aculo.us scripts have some workarounds for Safari that should be extended to more generally cover all khtml-based browsers, Konqueror in particular. In prototype.js, there is a workaround for an addEventListener bug that affects Konqueror as well as Safari, controls.js has a similar workaround, and the special case in dragdrop.js doesn''t hurt anyway. In

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''m in a dilemma: In order to keep GET requests from deleting objects, I''d like to use the button_to helper to get "something" that generates a POST request. Unfortunately, that something is a form and forms can''t be nested. I''d also like to place buttons related to the same form close to each other. At the top are some navigational buttons

Hi, I have a page calling a fade effect from a setTimeout. In Firefox the element flickers before fading. It works fine in IE - I haven''t tested any others. Has anyone else noticed this? I''ve included a simple prototype below (sorry haven''t got web space to post to - anyone know of any good free space?). Whilst in the prototype it doesn''t to be much of an

That is, is there any way to do something like an RJS page.delay() except with ruby code statements in the body instead of RJS statements? If not, what kind of options would I have for wanting to execute a set of statements n seconds in the future? Thanks, Andy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Please check out http://rixth.org/index.php (you can login with username mr password mouse). Create a todo list, then press ''open''. Add a few items (after about 8, is when it happens to me) then click close. THe animation is not very smooth for me, it only displays about 3 frames. This is not because it is pushing a lot of content down (look at the scriptalucous wiki effects

The validation reflection plugin adds three things (1) Reflective access to validations - ModelClass.reflect_on_all_validations - ModelClass.reflect_on_validations_for(:property) (2) It provides "declarative" methods for defining validations based on database metadata - validates_presence_of_mandatory_content_columns - validates_lengths_of_string_attributes -

HI All, I am using this code here: setTimeout("Sound.play(''sounds/movieprojector.mp3'');", 600); setTimeout("Effect.Appear(''slideshow5'');", 850 + 600); setTimeout("Effect.Puff(''slideshow5'');", 850 + 600 + 850);

Hello R-users, I am currently trying to learn how to use the function gls of the nlme library. I fitted the following model: Generalized least squares fit by REML Model: response ~ array + dye + genes + variety + variety * genes + array * genes + dye * genes Data: data I have 11 arrays, 2 dyes, 2 varieties, 3200 genes, and 2 replications for each. Therefore I should have the corresponding

Recently, I''ve started to write unit tests for some of my scripts. In general,it''s no worse in JavaScript than in Ruby or Java. I didn''t have the courage to try Selenium, but had a look at JsUnit. Unfortunately, in Konqueror it produces unfathomable errors and in Firefox it is slow beyond imagination. Anyway, writing tests for functions that are computational or

Hi friends - a javascript question.... Does the prototype object add some way for a class to find out the variable name of its instance variable? Or does javascript have some built in way to do this? This is confusing to describe - but if I define a variable as some object: var myVariable= new Widget(''fdfa''); can some built-in method inside the Widget class be

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

I''m in the process of updating an app for Rails 3.0 and rspec-rails 2.0.0.beta20. When I''m running my specs (rake spec) I get a large number of errors caused by two undefined methods undefined method `has_selector?'' for #<String:0x7fdbd0b5b270> undefined method `flunk'' for

[I sent this already two days ago, but apparently the message didn't get through. It is not in the archive either.] I've read through the Programmer's Manual, Language Reference, and Kaleidoscope Tutorial, still I'm struggling to get started hands-on with LLVM. This may just be a passing phase and I'm in no hurry, so I'd like to take the time to read up some more on

Just out of curiosity, is there a plan to support Comet (name coined by the dojo guys) w/ prototype? Comet represents persisting an http connection for low latency data operations. It also represents a nice alternative to polling. Jim _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list Rails-spinoffs-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org
