Help to test DOMAssistant 2.8 pre-release

[chenghong]

Hi!

I'm excited to announce that a new pre-release version of DOMAssistant
is ready for consumption. This version (2.8) is fully backward-
compatible, and include the following changes so far:

- [Add] Event delegation through relayEvent() and unrelayEvent(), with
support for focus and blur
- [Add] New core methods: indexOf(), map(), filter(), every() and some
()
- [Chg] Callback function in each() receives an index reference, to be
consistent with the new methods
- [Chg] Events fired via triggerEvent() now bubble
- [Chg] Bubbling events can be stopped either by calling
DOMAssistant.cancelBubble or returning false at the event handler
- [Chg] Moved prev() and next() methods to the core module
- [Fix] Comment nodes not skipped in IE5.5
- [Fix] Ajax does not work on local files
- [Fix] Ajax timeouts sometimes not detected in IE
- [Fix] setStyle("opacity") does not work in IE without hasLayout
- [Fix] Incorrect value from getStyle("opacity") in IE when opacity is
0
- [Fix] setStyle on newly created (but not yet added to the DOM)
elements fails in IE
- [Fix] addContent when used with strings remove events and attributes
- [Fix] replaceClass does not work in some cases
- [Fix] Certain selectors sometimes return less elements than expected
in IE
- [Fix] removeEvent fails in older versions of Opera when multiple
handlers exist for an event on an element
- [Fix] Miscellaneous performance improvement

Sounds very interesting. :)

I'm curious about relayEvent - does it only bind to elements that exist
when the function is called or does it also "bind" to future elements
(similar to jQuery's live functionality)?

Gustaf.

Hi Gustaf,

It binds to future elements as well. That's the beauty of event
delegation! =)
