similar to: Unobtrusive scripting?

Don''t get me wrong, JavaScript/Ajax helpers in Rails are a huge timesaver and they have helped me to finally overcome my irrational aversion to js libraries like prototype and such. However, all this goodness seems to come at quiet a price. The resulting code is littered with inline JS, including ubiquitous script tags and onload attributes etc.. It seems that just when i found

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

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 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

Hi there, I thought it''s rather neat to use the javascript compression from http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/compressor_system.html This removes javascript comments and renames variables and seems pretty reliable and effective. For example, I keep the original htmlarea.js file from http://xinha.gogo.co.nz/ in a file htmlarea.js.txt and it compresses from 200K to 100K. With gzip it

Quick question - how come the function.prototype.bind doesn''t allow for return values? Am I missing some basic understanding of how this works? I searched and couldn''t find an answer. Specifically, I''m binding an object method to an existing form''s onSubmit, but it still actually submits the form, refreshing the page - which is not what I want. If change

hi all i see a very strange behavior in safari when using prototype.js and the pear HTML_TreeMenu to reproduce get prototype.js (http://www.prototypejs.org/assets/ 2008/1/25/prototype-1.6.0.2.js) and treemenu.js (http://cvs.php.net/ viewvc.cgi/pear/HTML_TreeMenu/TreeMenu.js?revision=1.22). and test the following html with safari on mac or windows (http:// www.apple.com/safari/download/)

When a validates_asssociated fails... I get something like Address is invalid is there a way, preferably on a per-association basis to have the error messaage include the actual error like Zipcode is too long (max is 10 characters) _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org

Does anyone has any thoughts about starting a project to simplify client-side form validation and input? I started thinking about this because I think date input in most web applications is broken. I really like Simon Willison''s demo: http://simon.incutio.com/code/js/date-parser/ I think this could be improved (by mapping say shift+left-arrow to the previous day, and

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

Hi, I downloaded the unobtrusive_javascript pluing from this link (http://www.lukeredpath.co.uk/index.php/2006/06/06/introducing-unobtrusive-javascript-for-rails/) since I needed to have dynamic content in javascript (for a pop-up menu). Unfortunately I have been unable to make the plugin work. I followed the instructions on the website, but for some reason the javascript doesn?t work (for

I made a brief post on here the other day about this and now I can proudly present the initial release of our unobtrusive_javascript plugin for Rails. We''ll be working with Dan Webb of Vivabit to roll in much of the functionality in his own as-yet unreleased unobtrusive_javascript plugin into a single plugin. This is essentially a preview release and probably not suitable for use on a

What if...you could produce accessible, unobtrusive javascript, using Rails built-in javascript/prototype helpers, with just one extra line of code in your layout, a plugin, and one small enhancement to the helpers. Something like this: [php] <% form_remote_tag :controller => ''foo'', :action => ''bar'', :unobtrusive => true %> # which produces

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

I asked the other day about this problem but haven''t received a response. Trying again: I just downloaded 1.6 and can''t get a simple draggable to work, which is weird. I know it''s not my browser since the demos are working. Here is my simple code. I''ve also had the "new Draggable" between the select tags. Didn''t change anything.

Hi, I found it a while ago, an add-on to Rails for supporting movable select boxes, but I searched through the wiki and the mailing list and couldnt find what I was looking for. I was hoping someone might know of or remember something about the project. Thanks, Dylan.

I have several tables for enumerations. They all have the same content: id, name, position. I''d like to avoid the tedious work of defining a class for each one explicitly. Not least, in order to avoid clutter in the model directory. Here''s what I''ve come up with: class EnumRecord < ActiveRecord::Base def self.define_enums(*enums) enums.each do |spec|

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/
