If you have worked with Java, you are undoubtedly familiar with the JavaDoc tool. JavaDoc is the de facto standard for creating API documentation based on comments in Java source code.

Sencha Docs offers a fresh take on API documentation for Java.

Dear script.aculo.us user!

Announcing the JavaScript Master Class: Virtual Edition, June 24!

We've been doing the legwork. We've learned what it takes to put on a kick-ass live, online class. (Don't call it a "webinar" -- or I'll be forced to show you the error of your ways!) The maiden voyage of the JavaScript Master Class: Virtual Edition will take place on June 24 2010, from 10am to 5pm London (GMT) time.

All you need is a reasonably snappy computer, good solid broadband, the latest version of Flash (sorry!), and your fine self. Our class schedule will include snack/pee breaks, and a lunch break. Our voices and screen presentations will come at you live! We'll take questions and solve problems. You will have a few exercises to work on, and we'll help you debug them if the need arises! And, because the online dynamic's a bit different, we'll be sending you the class materials in advance so you can peruse & prepare.

Previous attendees have described our workshops as "worth every penny" and "extremely good" and "I learned a lot and slowly started to feel my brain dribble out of my ears... in a good way." You will learn absolute gobs of stuff about JavaScript: The Language that will help you every day, no matter whether you use Prototype, jQuery, Node.js, or any other library -- or none at all.

See http://javascriptmasterclass.com/ for details &emdash; but don't book until you've read the bit about your discount!

Save 80 Euros if you book now!

Since we don't have to travel, pay for a class venue, rent a projector, etc., we can pass the savings on to you! The normal ticket price is 330€ + VAT. The Early Bird price is just 275€ + VAT.
Because you're an awesome script.aculo.us fan, you get 10% off (that's 30€ off!) the total Early Bird price including VAT.

Here's how to get your ticket for just 300€, incl. VAT. Go to: http://javascriptmasterclass.com/

Click the bigass pink button to book your ticket. Then enter the fancy code:
YAYSCRIPTY2

If you have a non-Austrian VAT ID, or you simply aren't from the EU, you will get the VAT right back from us. We will refund it by PayPal.
Include your VAT ID in the Billing Info field!

We're starting off close to home, time zone-wise, but we'd love to venture further afield.

scripty2 is now out in a preview alpha release, with cool demos and some of the nicest documentation any open source project has (we do know that's a bold statement!).

In this release, the focus has been on the effects engine, with the UI parts still pending a rewrite (there will be a lot of really cool stuff coming for the UI part, but more about that later).

As a bonus, the minified and gzipped version of scripty2 is a mere 5k in size. That's a lot of animation features in a very, very small package.

Web Workers allow you to run JavaScript in parallel on a web page, without blocking the user interface. Normally in order to achieve any sort of computation using JavaScript you would need to break your jobs up into tiny [...]

Ever since I saw the Bit.ly JavaScript API I've been wanting to build a simple script for tracking the number of people visiting a blog post from Twitter. This past weekend I built a little script for doing just that - and in a completely unobtrusive manner. The script itself is completely standalone (no dependencies) [...]

One of the biggest wins of the HTML 5 recommendation is a detailed specification outlining how parsing of HTML documents should work. For too many years browsers have simply tried to guess and copy what others were doing in hopes that their parser would work well enough to not cause too many problems with HTML [...]

I'm in the process of working on, and improving, test suite support in TestSwarm (an upcoming project of mine). However, there isn't a lot of information on which unit testing frameworks developers actually use to test their code (whereas there is more information on which JavaScript libraries are used). It will be of great help to [...]

I just posted a run down of some of the new DOM Traversal APIs in Firefox 3.5. The first half of the post is mostly a recap of my old Element Traversal API post. The second half of the post is all about the new NodeIterator API that was just implemented. For those that are familiar [...]

Today we're announcing Release Candidate 3 of Prototype 1.6.1. Among the highlights of this release are official Chrome support, improved IE8 compatibility, faster generation of API documentation with PDoc, and lots of bug fixes.

16 Jun 2009 10:21pm GMT

Today we tagged the first public release candidate of Prototype 1.6.1. (What happened to RC1? Long story.) While there are more minor fixes we'd like to get into this release, we decided an interim release was necessary because of the final release of Internet Explorer 8 last week.

27 Mar 2009 11:33pm GMT

Over at SvN, Sam announced the 1.0 release of Sprockets, the new dependency management and concatenation tool that makes it easy to modularize your JavaScript. Sprockets is Prototype's new build system, but it's also been extracted into a Ruby library so you can use it anywhere you write JavaScript.

This is a bugfix release that bumps script.aculo.us to version 1.8.1.

This version is recommended for all users.

• Update to Prototype 1.6.0.3
• Make sure InPlaceEditor converts HTML entities to text. [Sean Kirby]
• Fix that Builder.node did not return extended elements on IE. Closes #71 and #77.
• Fix a bug in Sortable.destroy to make sure it's called on the referenced Sortable only, which allows for the correct intialization of nested Sortables. Closes Trac #8615. [Leon Chevalier]
• Change Effect.Base#render not to use eval(), so certain JavaScript runtime environments (like Adobe AIR) that do not support eval() work. [King Maxemilian, John-David Dalton]
• Fixed a calculation error in Effect.Transitions.pulse that could lead to flickering, add easing and change it to be a normal 0 to 1 transition that can be used with any effects; Effect.Pulsate now uses its own implementation. [Thomas Fuchs]
• Fixed Effect.ScrollTo. Changeset 8686 had a typo, document.viewport.getScrollOffsets[0] is always undefined. Removed the max check as it is not a cross-browser way to get scroll height and breaks the effect. Depending on scrollTo to do the right thing. Closes #11306. [Nick Stakenburg]
• Update version check so all Prototype versions can be required, not just x.x.x. Closes #10966. [Nick Stakenburg]
• Using $$ in the loader instead of getElementsByTagName to prevent limitations. Closes #9032. [Nick Stakenburg]
• Fix some missing semicolons. [jdalton]
• Fix an issue with Effect.ScrollTo that caused Firefox to scroll to the wrong offset in some situations. Closes #10245. [nik.wakelin]
• Fixes an issue with IE ghosting on non-absolute elements. Closes #10423. [Tanrikut, tdd]

When we first launched the Linkedin Prototype Group, we weren't necessarily expecting it to be such a success-it's over 800 members strong and counting.

17 Oct 2008 7:32am GMT

We decided it's finally time to implement an idea we had long ago.

Topic: Extending Request class → Request.HTML stops working Message: I have extended the Request class to create this sort of functionality. However; this causes the Request.HTML to stop working. I think I understand what the problem is, but I am unsure if this should be considered impossible, or simply a bug? A simple testcase; running on top of 1.2 Request = new Class({ Extends: Request, initialize: function(options) { this.parent(options); this.addEvent('onRequest', this.onAjaxRequest); }, onAjaxRequest: function() { alert('waa?'); }, }); console.log(new Request({url: '/'})); console.log(new Request.HTML({url: '/'})); This code throws 'Request.HTML is not a constructor' when the second Request is performed. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Topic: Fancy Upload by digitarald Message: Hello, I have a little problem with FancyUpload 2. All is working perfect, but when I try to upload big files like videos, it doesn't work. My php ini value "upload_max_filesize" is set to 20M and the limitSize option of my FancyUpload2 object is set to 20971520 (20 MB). When I upload a video of 1 to 8 MB, it works. But when it is above to 8 MB, it doesn't work and my $_FILES var stays empty. An idea ? Thanks In addition to upload_max_filesize you also need to increase post_max_size. They both limit your file uploads.

Topic: undefined variables Message: I just switched over to 1.2 and I'm getting undefined errors. I keep getting undefined errors on the cancelbut and hidepatstat variable. Is my syntax incorrect? I'm only testing for the existence of each object. In each case there really is only one element, but i call an array anyways and choose the first element for each. var cancelbut = $$('form[name=cancel_form_1]')[0]; if(cancelbut){ cancelbut.style.display = 'none'; } var hidepatstat = $$('div.patStatusLinks')[0]; if(hidpatstat){ var hidepatchild = hidepatstat.hasChild(); if(!hidepatchild){ hidepatstat.style.display = 'none'; } }

Topic: Menu gets confused with fast mouseover. Need help diagnosing problem. Message: Thanks for the suggestion. I upgraded the menu code to mootools version 1.2 and add the " link: 'cancel' " option but it did not help. Same exact problem. Upgrading to 1.2 also introduced a bug where I have to remove the "position: absolute" from the menu items in my css to get the menu to work. And removing it breaks the menu. So reluctantly I downgraded back to 1.11. Any other suggestions will be appreciated! :-)

Topic: iCarousel private mootools release Message: Fabio, great work! But what Ken said: Well its a great system and all except, It duplicates the list a gagibillion times! (not really but you know what I mean) And if I have it on auto it just keeps going on and doesn't return to the first image, it would be nice if it would return to the first image. Also every time the images rotates the processor spikes to 100% and having that happen every five seconds really slows down the system. The duplication process also screws up any elements which use id tags,... so ajax on an element in the list is not an option as it nees a unique id. It has to do with the fact that the list 'wraps',... is there a way you can turn off the wrapping and let the end of the list be just that,... the end? Thanx in advance!

But if I can't access the inner content of this dialog. I would like to add for example a submit event ot the form like that: $('feedForm').addEvent('submit', function(e) { new Event(e).stop(); var response = $('response').empty().addClass('ajax-loading'); this.send({ update: response, onComplete: function(responsetxt) { response.removeClass('ajax-loading'); this.AjaxResponse = responsetxt; if (this.AjaxResponse=="ok"){ // blabla } }.bind(this) }); }); I opened the multibox with: Feedback Javascript: box = new MultiBox('mb', { descClassName: 'multiBoxDesc', useOverlay: true }); The full page can you see at http://battle.oxn.it/multibox/index.htm on the "HTML page (Ajax)" link I hope you could understand what I mean. Thx for your help Simon

script.aculo.us is from now on developed using Git (hosted at github) for source code management and revision control, and Lighthouse for bug tracking.

Why git instead of Subversion? Well, it simply rules supreme, and makes working with many distributed developers with lots of branches a snap. You can find a good intro book on Git on Peepcode.

script.aculo.us 1.xx development will focus on bug fixes only, while I'm working on the next version of scripty (post on that coming up soon!).

Bug tracker http://prototype.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8887-script-aculo-us

Repository for script.aculo.us 1.xx http://github.com/madrobby/scriptaculous

Note that if you're just using the library, this change won't really affect you.

If you have open bugs on the old Trac please port them over to lighthouse yourself!

I'm also working on a replacement for the documentation wiki (which, quite honestly, sucks); so stay tuned for some updates in the near future. If you want to help out with the documentation effort, please contact me. :)

09 May 2008 6:15pm GMT

This is a bugfix release that bumps script.aculo.us to version 1.8.1.

Mainly, this release contains some important bug fixes and optimizations in Prototype, fixes cursor keys in autocompleting text fields for IE and Safari plus fixes an issue with Effect.Morph on IE.

Download at http://script.aculo.us/downloads!

04 Jan 2008 3:15am GMT

This is the final version of script.aculo.us 1.8, which comes with Prototype 1.6.0 final.

The included final 1.6.0 version of Prototype brings the latest and greatest awesome new features -- be sure to check it out on the Prototype site.

See the announcement for more information and a download link!

08 Nov 2007 2:05pm GMT

This is third beta of script.aculo.us 1.7.1, which provides Prototype 1.5.1 final compatibility and Sortable speed improvements.

The included final 1.5.1 version of Prototype brings the latest and greatest in new cool features and performance gains, so be sure not miss this one. :)

Beta warning: Things might not work as you might expect, though they really should-if you hit any problems, please use the bug tracker and give reports. The same that applies to Prototype applies for script.aculo.us too, so read the how to contribute page to see how you can help out!

See announcement for more information and a download link!

25 May 2007 4:30pm GMT

On the heels of the recent Prototype 1.5.1 release candidate, here's the latest and greatest version of script.aculo.us: 1.7.1 beta 1.

Beta warning: Things might not work as you might expect, though they really should-if you hit any problems, please use the bug tracker and give reports. The same that applies to Prototype applies for script.aculo.us too, so read the how to contribute page to see how you can help out here!

The most important change is the update to Prototype 1.5.1 which yields major performance improvements, slick new JSON support and various fixes all around. Note that the version of Prototype that comes with script.aculo.us 1.7.1 beta 1 is actually a few steps ahead of the 1.5.1_rc1 release and already incorporates a few additional fixes, so please use the version that comes with the script.aculo.us download.

The other important feature is experimental sound support for those little .mp3-based sound effects, which works natively in IE, and relies on whatever mp3 plugins are available on other browsers (for Macs, this means quicktime). It's thought as an alternative to flash-based mp3 playback for sounds effects (not music!). Kudos to Jules Gravinese for coming up with the initial implementation of this!

The effects engine has seen some performance overhaul, and together with the new Prototype performance goodnees is screaming fast. Also, a memory leak in the morph code was found and fixed on Firefox. More changes and features added include a new "failure" option to Draggables, and onDropped callback, more customization for in-place editing, and nesting single nodes in the DOM builder.

See the complete announcement for more information and a download link!

12 Mar 2007 2:00pm GMT

You've seen the demos-- now it's prime time!

* Update to Prototype 1.5.0 final

* Change the default setting for effects to support up to 60fps, if renderable by the browser. Add performance info to effects unit test.

* Add hash and CSS className support to Effect.Morph, fixes #6674 [Tobie]
    Examples:
      $(element).morph('myClass')
      // will morph to all the properties specified
      // in .className (in your external stylesheet).
      // All properties which cannot be morphed (such as font-style)
      // will be applied AfterFinish
      $(element).morph('font-size: 10px')  // or
      $(element).morph({fontSize: '10px'}) // will morph the font-size to 10px
      
* Add Element.morph() and Element.Methods.morph() as a shortcut to Effect.Morph
    Example:
      // basic Effect.Morph
      $('error_message').morph('color:#f00;font-size:17px');
      // fade out after a while
      $('error_message').show().morph('font-size:17px').morph('opacity:0',{delay:4});

* Add Effect.Transform that generates parallel executing Effect.Morph sets
    Example:
      // set up transformation
      var transformation = new Effect.Transform([
        { 'div.morphing': 'font-size:20px;padding-left:40em' },
        { 'blah'        : 'width:480px;border-width:10px;border-right-width:20px;margin:200px;margin-bottom:-20px;font-size:30px' }
      ],{ duration: 0.5 });
      // play transformation (can be called more than once)
      transformation.play();

* Add Effect.Morph core effect that morphs to a given CSS style rule. Effect.Morph does take orginal styles given by CSS style rules or the style attribute into consideration when calculating the transforms. It works with all length and color based CSS properties, including margins, paddings, borders, opacity and text/background colors.
    Example:
      new Effect.Morph('mydiv',{
        style: 'font-size:3em;color:#f00;border-width:2em',
        duration: 2.0
      });
      
* New option keepBackgroundImage: true for Effect.Highlight, fixes #5037 [docwhat, tomg]

* Minor tweaks for issues with application/xhtml+xml documents on Firefox, fixes #6836 [sjinks]

* Fix a possible exception with Sortables, fixes #6828 [craiggwilson]
      
* Add a paramName option to the inplace editor for overriding the default parameter name of "value"

            

19 Jan 2007 6:30pm GMT

The second beta of script.aculo.us 1.7.0 is out now, and adds a cool new CSS classnames based morphing feature, alongside Prototype updates.

Bugs in beta 1 where also addressed, especially Opera compatibility.

Head over to mir.aculo.us to learn what this is about and grab the beta version!

Note: Obviously, the beta version is not recommended for production sites, and syntax might change before it gets stable (but it's pretty much final, so don't be too afraid).
