[Proto-Scripty] Re: I can't show a Dialog.confirm on the unload event - Please help!
There's another, less bullet-proof solution, which involves catching and stopping all click (an possibly keypress) events on links. But what about situation when someone type new url , press home button or one from favourites toolbar?

Explorer is hanging up after giving a 'null' response for the alert below - but, firefox is not even hitting the alert and is processing normally, thogh it does not have the code to complete the AJAX request, just redirects to redo the original page If you don't use event.stop() for is just submitted without waiting for anything from ajax... you have mess in your code... I fixed it and posted here http://pastie.org/413066 it is working now :) you don't use observe in onSubmit...it is pointless :) as soon as I address my form, I get an error - either firefox says the form has no properties or it just hangs at the place where I address No one can't help you with this serializing problem without some simplified working example of your form.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: forms - serialize and more
Hi,
First of all I'm not prototype expert, rather newbie ;)
1) why do you use onsubmit=validatethis(); if you can use $
('formlinks').observe('submit',validatethis);
2) you don't have to set asynchronous:true - it's default value
3) most common is parameters: $('formlinks').serialize(true) than
using postBody
4) use parameters: { dept: $F('dept'), reg: $F('reg') } instead of
this long postBody:'dept='+department+'reg='+region ...this looks
really bad !!! ;)
you can also try to use $('formname').serializeElements( elements
selection go here)
for example $('formname').getInputs('text') which selects all input
textfields from the same form or something similar ...you can use
Element.select() or $$() if these elements have something in common
(like class, type etc.) - any group of elements can go into
serializeElements()
5) where do you use mlprerresult variable? cause there is quite big
chance that you don't have this variable set by ajax request cause
before loadMenu() is called
6) as far as I understand logic of this app it would be better to
call loadmenu(); inside reportresult(); than it's sure it is called
only after success of ajax request
7) can't you get this data from 'site/traderhomecenter.php' or 'site/
adminhomecenter.php in response of first ajax request already? are
the values $F('mlptrader'); $F('mlpdepartment'); etc. from form
'formlinks'?
if yes... you passed it all to the server already in first ajax
request ... so can't you make one more php file which will calls
'Admin/editmylinks2' inside and instead of returning just 'good'
returns result of traderhomecenter.php or adminhomecenter.pl? or just
change editmylinks2 to return this?
you can send good if you want is x-json header of the same ajax
response and in the body you can send html which you want to use to
update MiddleContent'
simple example of php
--
$response = array ('good'=true);
header('X-JSON: ('.json_encode($response).')');
if ($_POST('mlptrader'))
die (variable with html you get from traderhomecenter);
else
die (variable with html you get from adminhomecenter);
and then in javascript
function reportresult(transport) {
var good = transport.headerJSON.good;
if (good){
document.getElementById(mlprerresult).innerHTML =
'Your request
completed successfully';
//instead of ajax updater just update $('Middle Contect').innerHTML
here with what you have in transport.responseText
}else
document.getElementById(mlprerresult).innerHTML =
'Your request
failed!!!';
-
These are my thought to make it easier but I'm not sure I understand
correctly logic of your application.

Hi, That may have well been the case. I was trying to use writeAttribute with a Text Input. I assumed that it would work and apparent does in IE7. I'm curious, which attribute were you trying to set - just a value of this input field? - For setting or getting the value attribute of Form elements (use FormElement#(get|set)Value instead). Lee, is there a setValue()? Only getValue is mentioned in API Docs - http://prototypejs.org/api/form/element .

[Proto-Scripty] Re: General Questions
script type=text/javascript src=http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/
libs/prototype/1.6.0.3/prototype.js/script
script type=text/javascript
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
});
/script
/body
Why?
Why not include prototype and other things in the head section of the
page? If you use observe it on window load it doesn't haveto byat the
end of the page.
Bythe way, you can also use dom:loaded instead of window load :)
--
From API Docs (http://prototypejs.org/api/event/observe) :
Of course, you'd want this line of code to run once the form exists
in the DOM; but putting inline scripts in the document is pretty
obtrusive, so instead we'll go for a simple approach that waits till
the page is fully loaded:
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
Event.observe('signinForm', 'submit', checkForm);
});
Just a little wrapping…
Note that if your page is heavy, you might want to run this code
before the page is fully loaded: just wait until the DOM is loaded,
that will be enough. (Prototype's dom:loaded event can help you with
that.)

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Position of div with suggests
Is it possible, to manually set the div's position? I had another
autocomplete script before, where I could playce the div via
stylesheets and it worked perfect in every browser. Now in
scriptaculous' autocomplete script no settings related to the div's
width or position are working.
What do you mean? You can use stylesheet :)
CSS The styling of the div and the returned UL are important.
Applying a visual cue that an item is selected allows the user to take
advantage of the keyboard navigation of the dropdown and adding
background colors, borders, positioning, etc to the div (as the demo
does) allows the UI element to stand out.
From http://wiki.github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous/ajax-autocompleter
There is even style for div.autocomplete and other classes from
example included.
Like this ones:
div.autocomplete {
position:absolute;
width:250px;
background-color:white;
border:1px solid #888;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

In my framework, sometimes there is debugging information dumped at the bottom of the page. I would like to know what the easiest way to scrub that debug output would be with prototype. My framework outputs a very unique string before the debug output. So, a simple substring-before would do the trick. I'm new to prototype as well:) I don't see option to do something else before updating container... but it is really easy to make your own ajax.updater - I mean just new ajax.request which will do what you want and then update the container.

Uppps, second script is not working in IE. Forget about it. Simple solution for one password field you still have here http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/530105/input.html. You can also change it to add mockpassword input dynamicly in your script. I then tried cloning the node and replacing it, but this loses the binding of the element to the function (it is no longer observed by focus or blur). You have to observe focus only from this newly created element - not orginal password field... and observe blur only on orginal one, not mocked one.

Hi, It does mean that if you have code further down the list of things to do which is reliant on the result of the request, then it will have to wait as well. So, that code would have to be part of the onSuccess too. Hope this is understandable. I'm new to Ajax as well but I understand how this is working.Still I have problem with situation described in my post above - how to take care about this things that have to wait as well in this case? Can you help me with this? I have Event.observe to the form submit action with function which should check if the value typed in the on of input fields is already in the database or not. This function use Ajax.request to check this and have true/false response. How can I make this to DO NOT submit the form before ajax response will come? ... I have all necessary processing in onSuccess but there is no chance to execute it cause form is submitted earlier. What is standard way to deal with this kind of things?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Delay Required after Ajax.Request() ... How to?
Hi, Thanks for your reply. There are a couple of ways you can do this. 1. Don't let them submit until the field is validated. : The point is I wanted to change my validation from dynamic (when user type or changes the fields) to on submit only :) 2. Do the submit via XHR rather than letting the browser do it. Ok, I was thinking about this solution and using From.serialize but I didn't want to my site to much - just simply change one thing - validate username on submit not while typing :) One nice thing about this is that you can do most of your validation code just once (on the server), rather than having to have it both on the server (because you *always* have to validate user input on the server) and on the client (for your users' convenience). You are right but I already have both so it's not a problem. Last but not least, the other thing that's happening latey -- which I've seen both good and bad examples of -- is people moving away from the concept of submitting forms entirely. Can be nice but I want entire form to submit :) So my question is still open - is there any way to check something with ajax request on submit and submit form when you have true/false response? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Delay Required after Ajax.Request() ... How to?
Hi,
Yes. Use Event#stop to prevent default submit action. Fire an ajax
request that does the validation. Show a validating indicator, upon
receiving the request back, just use $('my_form_id').submit() to
submit the form.
Thanks for hint :)
I was testing Event.stop but somehow I was thinking about it only in
context of failed validation inside my onSuccess function. I just
haven't thought about stoping even earlier before ajax request and
then just submiting form by myself.
If you're planning to validate on submit only and on the server side, what's
the point in doing it with an ajax
request ?
No I have 2 functions to run on sumbit:
- nice validation of many other fields in browser
- simple checking if username is taken by ajax request
If it is taken I don't want to submit form and reload the whole page
agan - that's all :)
Thanks a lot :)
