Belated note: in case you missed my Refresh Austin talk about Prototype/Scriptaculous, you can experience the slides without having to listen to my stammering commentary.

Comments

  1. Bear with my picky comment, but on slide 37 you could have just did: nodes.invoke('hide'); instead of: nodes.each( function(node) { node.hide(); });

  2. I use invoke in later slides — on that slide I was just trying to introduce the concept of each.

  3. That’s why I had to admit my comment was picky ;)

  4. On slide 30, shouldn’t you use blindAsEventListener(); because you are expecting the ‘event’ argument to be passed into your observer?

  5. @jdalton: That’s only necessary if you assign a handler directly to a property (like someLink.onclick). IE passes the event argument properly when its proprietary attachEvent method is used (and that’s what Event.observe calls in IE).

  6. Ohhh Nice! I wasn’t aware of that. Rock!
