You're saying that :zippy only removes delays. For me it also doesn't
fire any events (at least not onchange). I just discovered it - that's
the reason why my onchange events haven't fired without implicitly
calling fire_event("onchange") after changin text_field's value (I was
using value = though) ;)
Here is the sample code, which demonstrates that onchange is not fired
with :zippy, but works with :fast or :slow:
<input name="field1" type="text" onchange="document.getElementById
('content').innerHTML='field1'" maxlength="5">
<div id="content">empty</div>
@b.speed = :zippy
@b.text_field(:name, "field1").set "howdi"
puts @b.div(:id, "content").text
outputs "empty"
when using :slow or :fast, output would be "field1" as expected.
I remember when :zippy got introduced then I just switched my browser
from :fast to :zippy, because it was promised to be faster, hehe and
didn't notice this drawback, because I didn't want any JavaScript
events to be launched at the time :)
Any other functionalities that :zippy disables?
