Re: [Proto-Scripty] IE Sortable issue
For example, here is a Self-contained Non-failing Test: http://scripty.walterdavisstudio.com/drag-sort.html Please try this out in your failing browsers, and let me know if you are able to drag the first or last element in the list to a new position. The sort order will update below the list each time you re- order the list. Walter On May 2, 2011, at 5:06 PM, Walter Davis wrote: This is where the Self Contained Failing Test is useful.

[Proto-Scripty] Ajax Call waits callback forever
Hello there ! It's been a (little) year since I've started using prototype.js. It's really great and it simplifies my dev life a lot ! I use it to develop a chat application (www.kraml.fr) and I use the PeriodicalUpdater to retrieve the new events. But, somehow, it happens that the call never retrieves the answer from the server, even if in Apache log I see that the page has been called by that user. For now, I try to escape the problem by putting a timeout on the call (from a script found on the web), but to avoid loosing information, I have to send a receipt, which is slowing my app, and is not really reliable as it can pend as the periodical call. I don't think it comes from the prototype library, but I thought people could have had an idea or even had the same problem. I'm looking actually at the PHP sessions, but am not really sure it has something to do with it. Thanks in advance, Regards, Julien.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: forms trouble
Ok, so now I'm ignoring the buttons and just focusing on the form elements: There is now only one form - When submitted in search context, it displays a number of new form elements which are subsequently processed on re-submit. The problem is that the new form elements do not appear until the 'search' form has been submitted and prior to this, the JS code is complaining that the new elements are null. I've tried testing for these values being null or undefined without success. I'm really stuck here! How can I get the code to ignore undefined/null elements and process them if they are otherwise valid? Anyone? I'd really appreciate the help.

Re: [Proto-Scripty] IE Sortable issue
Thanks for all the assistance, Walter. I haven't had the chance yet to try the static page (Sometimes I feel like a chicken with my head cut off!) But I will post results when I am able in the next day or so. I am sure it's my code, as I seem to always feel like I'm drowning when it comes to troubleshooting - especially javascript. Thanks again!
