[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.InPlaceEditor dynamically geneate item id?
If you choose to do it this way, I'd advise using a timestamp rather
than (or in conjunction with) the random string generator, just to
ensure it's definitely unique. Entropy's a bitch...

Maybe you could write a random generator script that generates and stores a
set of random letters and numbers, store it in a global array, and keep
checking against that array every time you load a record from the database.
Just make sure you insert the original record id into the inplaceeditor
script as a parameter so it reaches the server-side file that you're going
to use.

You could just make your code into a function and pass the same php
variable as the parameter:
function newInPlaceEditor(itemID)
{
new Ajax.InPlaceEditor('title_'+itemID, '/demoajaxreturn.html', {rows:
15,cols:40});
}
then your code:
div id='title_?php echo '$id'?'a href=javascript://
onclick='newInPlaceEditor(?php echo '$id'; ?'edit me/a/div
(not tested)

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could lend a hand with the fabulous
Ajax.InPlaceEditor script!
My question is this: Is there a way to generate an ID on the fly that
would make the id unique?
Because I have a one-to-many situation with my database, there are
times when I'm displaying multiple records, which would result in
duplicate item ID's and confuse the script.
For example, One Author could have many book titles...but I don't know
how many books the author has written until I query the databaseso
I would need to create the id's on the fly.
I can make the div dynamic with php div id='title_?php echo
'$id'?'edit me/div
but is there a way to pass this same id to the new Ajax.InPlaceEditor
to make it match?
script type=text/javascript
new Ajax.InPlaceEditor('editme_THIS_WOULD_BE_A_UNIQUE_RECORD_ID', '/
demoajaxreturn.html', {rows:15,cols:40});
/script
Thanks for any help you can provide!

[Proto-Scripty] Sortable list - dynamic numbering?
Hi everyone, I've made a fairly basic Sortable - it's two lists and you can drag elements from one list to the (initially blank) second. My issue is that I want the second list to auto number itself as you add to it, eg, if you drag an element to the top of it, it's prefixed with a #1, or if it's at the bottom, it becomes #2, etc. The idea here is that I'm allowing users to assemble a top 25 list out of a selection of hundreds of items. Any tips on doing this? Thanks Matt --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: testing whether all elements in a div have a certain class
That's broadly right, but my problem is string concatenation. I'm
passing the div name to search for those spans in using a function,
so when I try to do:
var spanName = span_+levelID;
I just get a value of 'span_+levelID' for $spanName.

okay i am trying to get this correct ..
You want to see if a certain amount of spans in an element have a class name
of 'complete' and if so do something else
firstly you can easily count the amount with $$
var $complete=$$('.complete').length
then you want to do something if they are more than or equal to 3
if(($complete) ($complete=3) {
do_something();
}
is this correct so far ..
Sorry i am having trouble deciphering what you want to achieve

neither worked. I'm still struggling to get my head around this - I
can only pass the ID of the element through a function, so it's always
going to be a variable, I can't know it in advance. Here's some actual
code (the above stuff was a simplified (and badly-written...)
function, not the actual one):
//contained within my function:
var spanName = span_+levelID; //levelID is passed in the function
var spanArray = document.getElementsByClassName(name); // gets all
the elements I want to test
var completeArray = spanArray.getElementsByClassName('complete'); //
should get all elements within the above array with a class of
'complete'
// if the number of spans is the same as the number of spans with
'complete' class:
if(spanArray.size() == completeArray.size()) {
$('level2_click_1').removeClassName('incomplete');
$('level2_click_1').addClassName('complete');
$('level2_click_1').update(ON);
} else {
$('level2_click_1').removeClassName('complete');
$('level2_click_1').addClassName('incomplete');
$('level2_click_1').update(OFF);
}
HTML:
span class=span_1 incomplete id=level3_click_1
a href=javascript:// onclick=changeState('level3', '1',
'on')OFF/a
/span
span class=span_2 incomplete id=level3_click_2
a href=javascript:// onclick=changeState('level3', '2',
'on')OFF/a
/span
span class=span_3 incomplete id=level3_click_3
a href=javascript:// onclick=changeState('level3', '3',
'on')OFF/a
/span
Basically, when all three of those spans have class name
'complete' (eg, are turned on) I want a different span somewhere else
(the 'level2_click_1' span, which I will need to turn into a variable
rather than a hardcoded reference) needs to switch to 'complete' too.
Does this make any more sense now?
