JQuery :: Making Sense Of Prototype Debates?
Apr 22, 2010
So for a research topic at school, I chose to do web development software trends, to see if there are any general commonalities. One sub-topic I chose to do was Javascript, and where it seems to be heading. After reading a bit about it (I'm very new to web development), I learned that jQuery and Prototype seemed to be the most popular options when using javascript, but I didn't understand why they are compared against each other so often. If jQuery is a library, and Prototype is a framework, why would people only choose one or the other? I know some people use both, and I also realize that there's minor conflicting syntax issues, but I was hoping someone with more experience could help me understand why a framework and a library can be compared head to head.

The code :
$('.TextHover').editable('/Task/SaveTags.php', {
type : 'text',
cancel : 'Cancel',
submit : 'Ok',
[Code]...
I put on alert to help me debug the returned value.What I need to show on alert is the 3, text of td with id='tId'.$(this).closest('tr').closest('td#tId').text() wouldn't work.$(this).closest('tr').next('td').html() returns null.

According to ECMAScript, the root of the prototype chain is Object.Prototype. Each object has an internal property [[Prototype]] that could be another object or NULL.... However, it also says that every function has the Function prototype object: Function.Prototype, it confused me, because a function is an object, for a function object, what is its function prototype and object prototype..For example:
var x = function (n) {return n+1;};
what is the relationships of x, Object.Prototype and Function.Prototype

I am trying to get to the bottom of javascript object, prototypes etc. I have a fairly good grasp of it, but I get confused the closer I get to the base object.prototype. FIrst of all, I was under the impression that all objects descend directly from Object. But some objects (like Array) seem to inherit properties and methods from the function.prototype. So does this mean that the chain is like this:
object -- function -- array Second, I noticed (on the mozilla javascript reference site that object.prototype inherits properties and methods from function.prototype and vice versa!? How can this be? I must be missing something important about understanding the chain?

QUESTION ONE: When is use of the jQuery prototype object appropriate, and when is it not?
BACKGROUND:I am still trying very hard to identify the error that is prohibiting me from incorporating a jQuery plug-in into my site in a manner similar to the way that the author of the plug-in has incorporated it into his.Although I have sought consultation with the author, he appears uninterested in working with me.My still fledgling knowledge of jQuery tells me that the author of the plug-in and my implementation of his plug-in are constructed differently.Whereas I use jQuery's prototype property to reference my method and then assign my method anonymously to my HTML document as follows: $().myJQMethod().The author of the plug-in does something very different.I have extracted from the author's plug-in and my implementation of it. Links to the source pages have been included.
CONSTRUCT A (The jQ_Impromptu Plug-In):
(function($) {
$.prompt = function(message, options) {
})(jQuery);[code]...
QUESTION TWO: Although I am able to implement the author's method, it is not performing as it should. When the alert box appears with focus the hosting HTML page is suppose to show through with dimmed opacity.My implementation does not achieve this effect. Firebug has alerted to me to the following breakpoint, but I am poorly unable to interpret it.

I read the documentation on the noconflicts() to mean that Prototype should be loaded first and then:
<script
This all worked great in all browsers except in IE8 which had no clue what jQuery() meant. IE8 says jQuery is undefined.
So I reversed the order of loading, jQuery first then Prototype, and now everybody is happy. Did I just read the documentation wrong or is there something else here I should be worried about?

I've previously written an image carousel with lightbox and to be honest forgot about it for quite a long time. I've just been tasked with making a few modifications (I wrote this code about 6 months ago)
Now, the problem I have is that I now need to call the internal method from the ligthbox plugin.
I've tried setting a reference to this like this but it just won't play ball. I can see that the ajax feed gets called but unfortunately I can't then access it.

I have developed a widget. I am using the jquery core api. Im having a problem when the widget is used in a weebly site. I know weebly uses prototype and I am using the workaround:
var $j = jQuery.noConflict(); however there is still a clash of some sort. I think every prototype.js function is being called or something because the page is taking a long long time to load as there are many requests being made which look like this:

I have been trying in vain for many days to resolve a conflict between javascript libraries. My homepage uses jquery horizontal css menubar + a combined mootool and prototype accordian type sliding information box in the middle of the webpage. I find that the highlighter of the css menubar does not work when prototype.js is also loaded on the same page. I have read somewhere that $ should be replaced however I have tried every possible option and none works. I have jquery loading first as it is on my template, with this:
<script type='text/javascript' src='../Web/Templates/jquery-1.3.2.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='js/example.js'></script>
And my mootool and prototype loades further below like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/intro/prototype.lite.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/intro/moo.fx.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/intro/moo.fx.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function init(){
var stretchers = document.getElementsByClassName('box');
var toggles = document.getElementsByClassName('tab');
var myAccordion = new fx.Accordion(
toggles, stretchers, {opacity: false, height: true, duration: 600}
);
//hash functions
var found = false;
toggles.each(function(h3, i){
var div = Element.find(h3, 'nextSibling');
if (window.location.href.indexOf(h3.title) > 0) {
myAccordion.showThisHideOpen(div);
found = true;
}
});
if (!found) myAccordion.showThisHideOpen(stretchers[0]);
}
</script>

I want to write a plugin, say 'myPlugin' which I can use like
Code:
$('#myID').myPlugin() ;
$('#myID').myPlugin.test() ;
The plugin I wrote looks like
Code:
(function($){
$.fn.myPlugin = function() {
// do something
} $.fn.myPlugin.test = function() {
var $this = $(this) ;
// do something ;
}})(jQuery) ;
This works and it doesn't work. It works because test() is called, but this is not the element with id '#myID' it is $.fn.myPlugin. To fix this I tried the following
Code:
(function($){
$.fn.myPlugin = function() {
// do something
} $.fn.myPlugin.prototype.test = function() {
var $this = $(this) ;
// do something ;
}})(jQuery) ;
but now the function 'test' is unknown.

I don't know if this will work, but I'm trying to put a google map on my website and in IE, the div containing the map needs to have a width value in pixels in order for the API to center the map properly. want a div with 100% width, which is inside another expanding column. This works everywhere but IE. My question is, Is there a way, using jQuery, to get the div to discover its inherent width and then apply that in pixels, as an inline style, to that tag? It would also have to redefine its width when the window resizes.

Forgive the extremely basic question but I can't find something that addresses it. I have a navigation bar that is a series of list elements. I want to pop open a subnavigation bar when you mouse over one of the elements.
The slightly different thing about this one is that in the html the subnav div sits outside the main navigation div, ie they are not related. What I want to do is keep the subnavigation bar if you move your mouse from the main nav down to the subnav, and hide it again once the mouse leaves either the subnav or the main nav.
My problem is that any of the ways I can think of doing it, once the mouse leave on the main nav is called i can't stop it from going.[URL]...

I'm getting started at javascript and jQuery, I want to make a calculator for my services, for example, checking a box will add value to a total.For example theres a textbox that asks how much gallons of paint will be used, the value of each gallon is 30 dollars, so the user can write for example 2 on the input and a div will output 60. I think that would be made with .change(), but in the demo of the documentations appears a selection list, and I can't figure out how to make an input work like that.
