Hi Hippyjim Starbrook,

this is not the way you should do. It's better to use a wrapper to t
(he native function. First because you did not modify the standard
behaviour of prototype, and also because you still have the capability
to call the original function.
Have a look to the wrap() function at

Re: [Proto-Scripty] How to use event delegation for mouseenter/mouseleave events?

peter.de.be...@pandora.be (Peter De Berdt) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:06:39 UT

For global handlers, we use NWEvents and NWMatcher ([link]
). For the actual behavior implementation, we still use Prototype
+Scripty. Amazing combo, really...

"Element" is the Element-object from the prototype library. The
library has been included and other objects like Ajax are present.

How to use event delegation for mouseenter/mouseleave events?

szi...@gmail.com (szimek) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:48:57 UT

Hi,

anyone had any luck with using event delegation for mouseenter and
mouseleave events? I'm constantly adding and removing elements from
the page, so it would be much better and easier than keeping track of
all handlers manually.

Cheers,

Attempting to extend a prototype method

hippyjim.starbr...@gmail.com (Hippyjim Starbrook) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:30:32 UT

Hi All

I'm attempting to extend the Form.Element.disable() method, so that it
adds a "disabled" class to any element is disables.

I'm attempting to replace the existing prototype function with one of
my own, using the following code in a javascript file loaded after
prototype.js:

Form.Element.Methods.disable = function(element) {

Blue Hand Talking,

Walter very courteously explained that this list is dedicated to
Prototype the JavaScript framework and not to its Rails helper (which
very few people here—if any—are familiar with).

May I please ask you to keep the same level of courtesy in your
responses?

Thanks in advance,

Google is my friend. Naturally, the next result I hit upon told me
that there might be a mismatch between the URL requested by the form's
Action and the rest of the page. Sure enough, I had used PHP's
$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] to construct the URL, and it wasn't the same
as the request (missing the WWW part) so this error cropped up. I

Safari complains of "unsafe" X-JSON

wa...@wdstudio.com (Walter Lee Davis) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:31:25 UT

I have a form with an Ajax request() to update the form with survey
results. It works great in Firefox, but when I submit it from Safari
4.latest on Mac OS X, I get nothing at all in the browser for results,
and the console says "Refused to get unsafe header "X-JSON". I've
tested this on two different Macs.

mattfoste...@gmail.com (Matt Foster) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:59:59 UT

I'd recommend taking a look at my Ajax Service Queue approach, such
that all requests go through the service object, and in the subclass
for the queue's case won't send the next request until its predecessor
has returned. It needs to be updated for 1.6 but the idea is on the
wall for you to look at...

wa...@wdstudio.com (Walter Lee Davis) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:47:25 UT

Just to be clear, link_to_remote is part of the Rails *helper* for
prototype. Prototype.js is an extraction from Rails, but it stands
alone, and this list is devoted to prototype as a stand-aline JS
library, not to the Rails helper.

Your question might be answerable in this list if you pastie the code

Yes...

Objects and thier properties are built and stored in memory (how else would
they get built) - the CPU does the calculations and outputs the opcode to
the browser (which reads from memory) what it needs to do with the object
(In very simple terms)... So it stands to reason that if you dont remove the

This is a Prototype/Scriptaculous group, and you are asking about
something a server-side language (Ruby I guess?) which I don't know
anything about.

But what you pass in the 'parameters' comes in as the "search" part of
the URL (i.e. the bit after the ?). That is available to your server
