Hi, I am relatively new to Rails and I can't get the following to work: what I am trying to do is to make the first item of a list to flash: var item = $('items').firstChild; new Effect.Highlight(item); I get the this Javascript error message: this._base has no child (effects.js, line 445) But I

[Rails-spinoffs] New scrolling question (BlindDown)

I have several BlindDown elements, that when clicked, depending on their position, may blind down past the bottom of the page. I would like the page to auto-scroll with the Blind-down effect so that these elements always stay on-screen. Does anyone know how to do such a thing?   Sincerel

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Draggable performance issues

I just wanted to update anyone interested... in the test file where drag-scrolling is enabled in the Draggable object, the performance of the draggable is only improved when the scrollable functionality is enabled. I tested it without using scrolling, and it's still really jumpy and glitchy (inhibi

Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Draggable performance issues

Odd you should mention this problem. I was just noticing it this morning.  I grabbed the dragdrop.js from svn (/spinoffs/scriptaculous/src) but didn't notice a performance improvement. I don't know about your CPU but mine pegs out when I'm dragging. Maybe I'm pushing it too far, though. Here is wha

Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Draggable performance issues

Hey, the only thing that appeared to me was the following: when I start to drag (and move) an object, it stays opaque but once I stop moving the object, (still dragging = holding down the mouse-button) it suddenly switches to the "semi-transparent"-mode, once I release the button, I goes smoot

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Draggable performance issues

You know what... I just copied the Draggable class from the test directory in the SVN trunk because I needed the scrollable functionality. That version is MUCH better! Dragging is super duper fast and responsive now. Thomas, what was changed in that version vs. 1.5.1 as far as draggable performan

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Draggable performance issues

No, mine become semi-tranparent right away, it's just the movement that is glitchy. Could this have something to do with the heaviness of the Draggable object? Does it have to do with where the element is nested into the page (i.e. it's inside an absolutely positioned div which is inside a relative

Martin - Sorry for a million mails on this subject, but I have one suggestion to make this script more perfect. The cookie data limit is 4KB including the cookiename. So, for this case it does make sense to check the limit since this is a cookieJar and can get filled up pretty quickly. Do you

[Rails-spinoffs] Draggable performance issues

Using the script.aculo.us Draggables, I’m noticing they are a bit less than fast. I drag them around on the screen and they jump and glitch to catch up with the mouse.   Has anyone else noticed this, and are there any optimizations that have been identified that I can apply? I’m using v.

RE: [Rails-spinoffs] Prototype & Cookies

Hi Marco, It's not about just setting a cookie, getting its value & deleting a cookie. That script is easy. What Martin's script does is super cool.. It makes you define a cookieJar for eg Cookiejar = 'scriptaculous'. Now you can store all scriptaculous related cookies (name/value pairs) into

Also, Martin - your script depends on the prototype library. But, for smaller applications there might be no need to include the entire prototype.js file. Can you let me know (before I try figuring it out mysef) what functions I need to keep from prototype.js file to make this work. I want to
