[Rails-spinoffs] draggables in IE visible outside div with overflow=hidden

[Rob Clayburn]

Hi All

I have a series of images that I'm showing in a  table inside a  
with overflow:auto on. Each of the images is a dragable. In firefox this 
works as expected (if the image list is longer than the div scroll bars 
appear to scroll the div and scrolling works). However in IE the images 
are shown outside the containing div and the scroll bar does nothing


I think this is because the images have position=relative style applied 
by prototypes makepositioned function, but am unsure how to work around 
this. Below is the sample html I'm using (the img's postion relative is 
there as the draggable code generates that for the element):



   #scrollcontainer{
   width:200px;
   height:100px;
   border:1px solid #66;
   overflow:auto;
   }

[Rails-spinoffs] prototype hash method

[Fernando]

var v1  = {
 a: 'value for a',
 b:'value for b'
  }

var v2  = {
  c: 'value for c',
  d: function(){some code...}
  };

var v3 = v2.merge(v1);
I'm getting an error doing this...

what is wrong?

Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Maintainer?

[Tobie Langel]

Hi all,

One of the strength of Prototype is the fact that it comes bundled with 
rails and is thus used by quite a large community.


I really don't think a forked version would have much success 
considering this.


However, I do regret, as others, the fact that Sam is very distant and 
seldom replies to contributors.


Maybe the solution would be to have a few other commiters?

This would discharge Sam from some of the work, and would enable the 
framework to improve at a more steady pace...


I also regret the lack of presence and interaction on the irc 
channel... of everyone.


I get better results when I post here than on irc, strange, no?

So if any of you guys wish to spend a bit more time on irc, discussing 
patches, improvement requests, etc, maybe this would help too...


Anyway, I hope we get this sorted out,

Best regards,

Tobie

PS I'd still like to thank Sam for the outstanding job he's been doing 
with Prototype!




From: "Andrew Kaspick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Could always fork it and implement all the outstanding fixes into a
new branch.  Of course it wouldn't be distributed with rails, but if
enough people start using the "improved" version then who knows what
may happen.  Of course this isn't the optimal solution, but at this
point I'd opt for the "improved" version.

I would agree that a forked version would most likely hurt prototype in the long run since it is tightly integrated with rails.I think having a few more commiters that all share the same vision would greatly benefit the prototype framework and community.

There is no difference between those. They are both associative arrays (hashes).

DefaultOptions = {

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] prototype hash method

[Bauser, Joseph (Joe)]

When he said ignored, I think he only meant for the inspect function (which 
doesn't print d even though it exists). 

The functions will still be merged together into v3 since the $H() function 
doesn't discriminate by type AFAIK.

Hi  Fernando,

why don't you just use Object.extend:

var v1  = {
  a: 'value for a',
  b:'value for b'
   };

var v2  = {
   c: 'value for c',
   d: function(){some code...}
   };

var v3 = Object.extend(v1, v2);

This will preserve your function.

Re: [Rails-spinoffs] prototype hash method

Actually, Fernando,

I must have been thinking slowly...

Using Object.extend like that will also extend v1 to contain v2, which 
is probably not what you wanted...


this would do the trick:

var v3 = {};
Object.extend(v3, v2);
Object.extend(v3, v1);

If you just wanted to add v2 to v1:

Object.extend(v1, v2);

Hope this clarifies a bit.

There is no difference between those. They are both associative arrays
(hashes).

Since prototype.js has Object and Hash methods, maybe my question should
have been something like:  "What is the reasoning behind why prototype
offers different properties and methods for Hash and Object types?"

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] prototype hash method

[Bauser, Joseph (Joe)]

The Hash that prototype declares provides associative array functionality, like 
returning of keys and values, stuff that Object doesn't provide on it's own. 
It's intent is to act like an associative array, where Object is intended to be 
used as an Object.

Contrary to my previous understanding, the Hash functions do not handle values 
with type function. They still get copied around, but aren't visible from any 
of the hash functions like values() or keys().

My apologies for any confusion I may have caused out there.

Cheers


P.S: If what I've said has confused you, try this example and see for yourself.

var h1 = { a: 1, b: 2 };
var h2 = { c: 3, d: function() { alert('d exists'); } };
var mergedHsh = $H(h1).merge(h2);

mergedHsh.d();
alert(mergedHsh.inspect());

Depends what you mean.
A good place to check for functionality in prototype is

You can go there and search to see if it has the functionality you want.

Just add a style="display:none" attribute to it.

Of course! However, this presented a new problem. Still using SlideDown/Up, but it doesn't "slide"at all. On SlideDown it just appears instantly and on SlideUp is takes 0.5s/1s before it disappears.
No sliding/fading/movement whatsoever. Seems strange to me... I had the desired effect when usingtext

If I 
remember correctly, you can't use that effect on tables. But I may be 
mistaken.

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Effect.SlideDown/Up() and HTML issues

[Martinez, Andrew]

There are certain things you should not drag and drop, or animate. Some of 
these elements are input elements in FireFox, the other things are always 
tables. Tables do not lend themselves easily to anything dynamic. This isn't 
saying you can't, I'm just saying it doesn't always work or has weird side 
effects, especially in IE.

As per Michael Peters, use DIV's.

Well, then you might try wrapping the entire table in a div, and applying the effect to that...TAGOn Jul 10, 2006, at 2:40 PM, Eskil Kvalnes wrote:On 7/10/06, Martinez, Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: There are certain things you should not drag and drop, or animate.

Re: [Rails-spinoffs] What effect is this

[Jerod Venema]

Check out the "direction" parameter for grow.

from the wiki: onclick="new Effect.Grow('content', {direction: 'top-left'});"

I'd assume (though I haven't tried) that that would work nicely with a
footer icon in the bottom right of your page...

I'd like to have an icon in the header / footer of a page which when
clicked, would be the source point for a window to "grow" and expand until
centered in the display.

Can "grow" do this with the right positioning?

[Rails-spinoffs] Hiding an event to launch a debug window

[Sam]

Title: Message



I'd like to leave 
some debug code on a website, the debug window made visible with an onClick 
event on some object, but requiring CTRL-ALT or some combination to be held 
down.
 
Is it possible to 
check state of keyboard keys in an onClick handler, or can anyone suggest some 
other technique which casual visitors would not stumble 
upon?

You seem to be right... no available workaround to this or a somewhat
similar
function available?


I've been using a technique where I've had a hidden  (where x = total number of columns). Inside the  I
have a  that is also hidden (display:none), when I start the
effect I show the  and then animate the  inside it. It
worked, but I'm not sure about browser portability the solution didn't
make it out of "idea-stage" (and I don't normally test with IE as I'm
a Mac-bigot).

Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Hiding an event to launch a debug window

[Ryan Gahl]

Sure can... inspect the event object... i forget the exact names of the properties you want, but http://www.w3schools.com is great for looking this stuff up...and instead of Ctrl Alt, might i suggest something harder to guess, like: up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, select, start? Oops, maybe you're not making AjaxContra, huh? :-O

It seems to me that with your approach the row would just appearand then the effect would apply to the contents of that row.I could probably re-create the effect wanted, to a certain level,by using  and then
use _javascript_ to increment those numbers gradually. But that seems kind of half-assed in my opinion.
