In this talk from YUIConf 2011, YUI engineer and former jQuery user Derek Gathright (@derek) explains why you should consider using YUI to build your web apps.

Siesta is a new unit testing framework for Ext JS and other JavaScript code. Testing Ext JS, or any JavaScript-centric web framework, can be difficult because the available tools are not really suited for the task. Most popular web UI testing tools don't offer enough help unless your application uses simple static HTML pages. This is where Siesta is different from the rest, because its top priority is Ext JS testing.

For about a week, instead of hosting several hundred jQuery plugins and several thousand advertisements for laptop batteries, our plugins repository has been serving up a pretty pathetic message about spam and an allusion to some "new submission process."

The primary focus of the upcoming Ext JS 4.1 release is performance. We have been hard at work to improve performance across the board, but we have concentrated on two main areas: rendering and layout. While the majority of our time has been dedicated to this effort, there are many other exciting developments to share. Chief among these are some major improvements to grid and border layout and a preview of the new Neptune theme.

jQuery is more than five years old now! Over that time it has evolved along with the browsers, web sites, devices, developers, and users that it serves.

After my last post discussing dictionary lookups in JavaScript the unanimous consensus seemed to be that utilizing Trie would result in additional space savings and yield performance benefits.

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!

I'm having a massive headache with this, please help!!
I have a number of divs, each containing an image that launches a lightbox
gallery. A text description is also within the div and underneath each image
describing what's going on (I don't want it as part of the gallery), but it
doesn't contain a link to the lightbox.

Hello!
Is it possible to add a button (like standard drop down list has) to
open the list with all the results? I need two ways to select item by
typing and selection from the list.
If not, may be you can add this functionality to this plug-in?
Thank you! :)

A new method signature is slated for jQuery 1.4: .closest(Array). It builds upon the previous .closest() method and hyper-optimizes the logic needed for handling event delegation (and live events). closest() (and by extension, is()) has become a critical function in jQuery. With more people using live events reducing any overhead has become of the utmost [...]

When working with the DOM .nodeName property there are two hard-and-fast rules that most people abide by: The node names of HTML elements are always uppercase, even if they're explicitly created using lowercase characters. <html> will result in a .nodeName === "HTML" (see the HTML 5 draft). The node names of XML elements are always [...]

After reading a recent post by Steve Souders concerning a free tool called dynaTrace Ajax, I was intrigued. It claimed to provide full tracing analysis of Internet Explorer 6-8 (including JavaScript, rendering, and network traffic). Giving it a try I was very impressed. I tested against a few web sites but got the most interesting [...]

This is a bugfix release that bumps script.aculo.us to version 1.8.3.

Most importantly, the included Prototype 1.6.1 provides performance and compatibility improvements with the latest browsers.

Other fixes:

• Effect.toggle to return effect (to be able to do Effect.toggle(element, 'appear', {sync: true});) [RStankov]
• Use element.identify() for fetching element.id in Sortable.create [RStankov]
• Fix deprecated usage of Position.cumulativeOffset. [#182 state:resolved] [James Wheare]
• Make loader work for application/xhtml+xml served documents. Closes #95. [Pavel Sedek]
• Check for Windows Media plugin and RealPlayer plugin in Firefox on Windows to allow sound playback. Closes #36, #86. [Alexander Gavazov et al.]
• Remove dead code in effects.js. Closes #125. [Confusioner]

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.

Hop over to http://scripty2.com to see the demos and documentation, and learn more about the background story on Thomas' blog post.

25 Sep 2009 4:30pm GMT

When we officially released 1.6.1 last week, we also published new documentation, the first official docs generated with PDoc.

10 Sep 2009 5:20am GMT

In addition to releasing Prototype 1.6.1, I'm pleased to announce that Andrew Dupont and Tobie Langel now officially head up the Prototype Core Team. They'll be in charge of maintaining Prototype, deciding what makes the cut for new releases, and handling day-to-day operations.

01 Sep 2009 2:20pm GMT

We're pleased to announce the release of Prototype 1.6.1 today. This version features improved performance, an element metadata storage system, new mouse events, and compatibility with the latest browsers. It's also the first release of Prototype built with Sprockets, our JavaScript packaging tool, and PDoc, our inline documentation tool.

01 Sep 2009 2:15pm GMT

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.

07 Oct 2008 9:23pm GMT

Now that 1.6.0.3 is out, let's talk about the Prototype community.

07 Oct 2008 5:39pm GMT

Yesterday we released Prototype 1.6.0.3, the result of some much-needed bug fixes, and a stopgap release on the road to 1.6.1.

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.

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.

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).
