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!

script.aculo.us development setup changed to github and Lighthouse

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. :)

MooTools 1.2 Beta 2

Its been almost 2 months since the first 1.2 beta. Bugs were fixed, features were improved, and here it comes: the second beta.

The first big feature we've been working on for 1.2 is Documentation.

1.2 Documentation is in fact almost 5 times more detailed than it was in version 1. Every class option has now its description, every method has a complete list of arguments along with description, type, and now every functionality comes with a code example -- sometimes more than one. If you want to see it for yourself, here is the temporary link for the 1.2 beta documentation.

A lot of the new 1.2 features have now been refined. An example that I'd like to share with you now is the Element Accessors feature. This is completely new for 1.2, aimed at making it easier working with elements and their attributes, properties or "special attributes". Continue reading for 1.2 code examples.

MooTools 1.2 beta 1

The first beta for MooTools 1.2 is finally here!

After months in the making, we can confidently say that MooTools 1.2 is now feature complete. However, there are still some bugs left to squash.

Head over to MooTools download page to start playing with it right away.

A Note About Compatibility

Some parts of MooTools 1.2 aren't immediately compatible with those found in MooTools 1.1. In the downloads page, you'll find a box that says: "include compatibility with previous version". Clicking that box will add the missing pieces and will make MooTools 1.2 play nice with code written for MooTools 1.1.

New stuff that we already covered:

The amazing Hash

Specs!

Effects Enhancements

Important stuff thats not yet covered in a blog article:

Full IFrames support with the Native IFrame Class.

Swiff: Flash content injection Class. Include Flash files, the easy way!

A Little Help, Please!

We are currently looking for bug reports and incompatibilities with previous plugins. If you want to help out, open a ticket in the Trac, and we will make sure that the problem is fixed for the final release.

Read more for a (not so) brief "what's new" list.

(P.S. This list is not exhaustive, it's just the stuff we could remember.)

MooTools Foundations: Natives and Elements

We haven't had this blog for very long, and talking to many users recently, I became aware of the fact that many people just don't understand how powerful MooTools actually is. The purpose of this series of articles is to shed a little light on some of the functionality provided by MooTools that many users might be missing. I think maybe it's time we got everyone caught up to speed. First topic... Natives and Elements!

MooTools + AIR = Love

Today I found a nice article on coderseye.com:

I spent a half hour tinkering around in Aptana, downloading MooTools 1.1, and setting up a few tests. The result is extremely pleasing. Not only is MooTools way better and easier to use than I remember, but it works out of the box with AIR.

That's Very nice to know!

I personally haven't yet tried MooTools in AIR extensively (i only did a few basic tests) but I'm definitely looking forward to creating something in the very near future. Maybe a downloader app? We'll see!

Upgrading to Prototype 1.6: real world examples

Prototype core developer Mislav Marohnić recently patched the open-source CMS Radiant to take advantage of the many code-saving features in Prototype 1.6.0, and he's written an informative description of the process on his new blog, No Strings Attached. Mislav's writeup covers the migration from Prototype 1.5.0 to 1.6.0, with examples of how to use the improved DOM and event APIs and upgrade to the new Hash API. The final release of 1.6.0 is just around the corner, so be sure to check out these nuggets of wisdom as you upgrade.

V1.7.1 beta 1: 'Performance!'.times(3) + Sound

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.

V1.7.0: Morphing effects, Prototype 1.5.0 final

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"

V1.6.5: Effect.Event, latest Prototype, Builder updates

I've just pushed script.aculo.us 1.6.5 for your download pleasure. It's a maintenance release that adds a few tweaks here and there-read on!


            

var node = Builder.node('label', { htmlFor: 'myinput' });

            2
            3

            }, position: 'end' });


            

var node = Builder.build("<p>this is <b>neat!</b></p>");


            

Effect.Pulsate('d8', {pulses: 2});

This should be the last release before Ruby on Rails 1.2 comes out-the next thing will be script.aculo.us 1.7! Lots of good and cool patches are waiting for their addition, and should make it into the 1.7 release.

As always, kudos to the community for supplying patches, bug reports and tests-keep it coming!

V1.6.4: New Prototype, drag and drop updates, BDD style testing! (UPDATED)

V1.6.4 (2006-09-06): New Prototype, drag and drop updates, BDD style testing! (UPDATED)

script.aculo.us 1.6.4, which marks the inclusion of the new release candidate of Prototype 1.5, is out now.

(For those of you missing the 1.6.3 version: that version was out yesterday but had a issue with IE that is now fixed in 1.6.4)

This release comes with the brand-new Prototype V1.5.0_rc1 version, adds several new features and options to drag and drop, features a whole new (experimental) way of doing testing, and adds some other goodies here and there. Also, thanks to the contributors for identifying and squishing bugs!

So-what's new & cool?


                  // object
                  var testObj = {
                    isNice: function() { }

                  // test
                  assertRespondsTo('isNice', testObj);

                    onStart:function(){ /* ... */ },
                    onDrag:function(){ /* ... */ },
                    onEnd:function(){ /* ... */ }
                  });
            


                  Builder.dump();  
                  var element = DIV({id:'ghosttrain'},[
                     DIV({style:'font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;'},[
                       H1('Ghost Train'),
                       "testtext", 2, 3, 4,
                       UL([
                         LI({onclick:'alert(\'test\')'},'click me')
                       ]),
                     ]),
                   ]);
