[Lift] Unable to use the YAHOO/Prototype libraries with Lift
Hi All, I was starting out with lift and am working with Dan on a project. The application I am working on has a prototype/Yahoo javascript requirement. Now Lift as I understand gives a content type of application/xhtml+xml. I am having problems with executing javascript (statements like element.innerHTML = 'dasdasdasd'). This is inside the prototype and Yahoo libraries and therefore cant be changed by me. The issues have been refernced here as well. http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=178347 http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2004/11/innerhtml_in_xh.html http://www.schillmania.com/content/entries/2004/10/24/application-xhtml+xml/ https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Writing_JavaScript_for_XHTML The creating a text node and inserting wont work for me as the content inside (as inserted into the innerHTML) needs to be displayed as html and not only as text.

[Lift] Re: Unable to use the YAHOO/Prototype libraries with Lift
The problem came from the Yahoo inclusion. When I took the tree thing off (all the javascripts and initialization) the app started working. Thanks for all the support !!! Kudos !

Mixing YUI and JQuery is not something I would recommend but if you know what you're doing go ahead. Do you have a concrete example of your code? P.S. - The default DOC type in lift is !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1- transitional.dtd - I find it weird that content type with you innerHTML not working. I'm using it for a while and have no problems. I bet many other people do. - You can change the content type to whatever you want but your templates on server side still must be XML well formed. In Boot call LiftRules.useXhtmlMimeType = false; .. hence Lift will use text/html.

[Lift] Re: Unable to use the YAHOO/Prototype libraries with Lift
Dinesh,
.innerHTML works just fine in Lift apps. I use it all over the place. In
fact, every Comet update is done with an .innerHTML.
To make sure it works, I put this line in a template:
span id=replace_me/span
script
// ![CDATA[
document.getElementById('replace_me').innerHTML = 'b.innerHTML
works just fine, thank you./b';
// ]]
/script
In the past, I've tried to integrate Prototype into a jQuery-based app.
It's a very, very tough thing to do. It took me a day to get the import
order absolutely right. I would strongly recommend against it. At this
point, jQuery plugins have the same range of functionality as do
Prototype-based plugins. It may also be that Prototype is conflicting with
YUI. You may want to look into using the jQuery Treeview:
http://jquery.bassistance.de/treeview/demo/
To figure out why the error is happening (it's not happening because
.innerHTML doesn't work... it does it fact work just fine), I'd suggest
using Firebug to set a breakpoint just before the offending line in YUI.
Inspect the value what is about to be put in the innerHTML. Is it valid
XML? Is it valid XHTML? It may very well be that YUI is generating invalid
XHTML.
If you go with the approach of setting the mime type of the page to
text/html, you'll ruin most of the layout and cause a fair number of other
issues because quirks mode does not deal well with certain tags being well
formed XML (e.g., the script/ tag has to be script/script).
So, to summerize:
- .innerHTML works just fine in strict XML mode
- The problem with YUI tree is coming from something else and Firebug can
help you debug it
- Mixing Prototype and jQuery is a challenge and I'd strongly recommend
against it
- Moving to quirks mode by setting the mime type text/html with destroy
the layout of the existing style and cause a lot of problems in Buy a
Feature
Thanks,
David

Hi,
I am pretty new to lift and am working with Dan getting some things
done. The system is currently setup to insert the lift comet
javascript (which is in jQuery) inside the layout file. I needed to
use the prototype library along with this and so added the
'jQuery.noConflict()' code call so that the conflict is resolved. I am
also using the Yahoo library to display a tree. The Doctype was Xhtml
Strict as set by scala. It immediately gave me errors like 'uncaught
exception: [Exception... Component returned failure code: 0x80004003
(NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIDOMNSHTMLElement.innerHTML] nsresult:
0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) '. It was not allowing the
script to execute statements like 'element.innerHTML =dasd'.
This I read is an issue with the content-type of the rendered page
which is 'application/xhtml+xml'.(references -
http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2004/11/innerhtml_in_xh.html
,
http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200501/the_perils_of_using_xhtml_properly/
).
I also saw some work arounds (https://developer.mozilla.org/En/
Writing_JavaScript_for_XHTML) but they do not work as the changes
would affect the library rendering.
How could I solve this problem?
Thanks and Regards,
Dinesh

[Lift] Problems with MappedStringIndex
Hi, I'm sorry that I have another problem report. Recently I wanted to have a Mapper with a String uuid as primary key. I found out that MappedStringIndex does that. It didn't work though. Using it with with a derby driver threw this exception: Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: 'ID' cannot be a column of a primary key or unique key because it can contain null values. The create table looked here like it generated the id itself, so the lift generated id isn't saved in the db. The H2 driver did this: CREATE TABLE myuuidmapper (id VARCHAR(64)) INSERT INTO myuuidmapper () VALUES () This means the generated id was not saved in the database. I attached an example project. Boot.scala is configured for H2 as default, the derby configuration is commented out.

[Lift] Re: Can or Box or something else
Can isn't bad. On the one hand, it's a container, on the other hand
it's can I do something, and in fact both work, barring the name of
Full and Empty.
It still feels weird. In my opinion it's trying to concretize
something abstract. Honestly, the best name for it might be something
like 'Maybe', it's not all that concrete, even in language. Full,
Empty, might be 'Yes', and 'No' respectively?

Just think though, a bit of pimping and...

val gotz = Can has cheezburger
... which constitutes my vote for keep Can -- it's a comedic noun and
also a semantically relevant verb. :)
