SortBy Function In Prototype.js
Feb 27, 2006I am trying to use the sortBy function in the prototype.js
library. Nevertheless, I can't work out what to include in the iterator
function. Can someone shed some light on this?

Difference Between Object.prototype And Function.prototype?
Nov 25, 2011According 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
How Come Object.prototype Inherits From Function.prototype
Dec 14, 2009I 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?
IE And Array.prototype Function?
May 5, 2010Array.prototype.each = function (fn) {
this.map(fn)
}
This is my each function that works great in every other browser but IE. UGH! What am I doing wrong? the error points to the this in the function. Is it that IE doesn't like map? Has anyone seen this before? I thought my code was correct. Works perfect in FF, chrome and opera. the canvas text doesn't work in opera, but it does render the features so the each function is working.
I'll post the code if needed, but it's huge. here's the script running.[URL]..
Array.prototype.push = Function() {
May 7, 2007I found this code on Internet:
<script type="text/javascript">
Array.prototype.push = function() {
var n = this.length >>> 0;
for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; i++) {
this[n] = arguments[i];
n = n + 1 >>> 0;
}
this.length = n;
return n;
};
</script>
Question 1: How to call this function?
Question 2: When I delete >>> 0, what I lose? ( >>>0 ı sildiğim zaman, ne kaybederim?)

View 8 Replies View RelatedOverwriting A Prototype Function And Keeping Scope?
Nov 3, 2010Not sure if this is possible, but I have an external script that creates an object, and I want to overwrite some of its functionality, but keep the scope.
Here is a basic example:
Code:
<script>
Obj = function (userConfig) {
this._init(userConfig);
[Code]....
I want it to log two Objects, but instead I get two window elements. Is this because I am declaring the functions in the global scope, and not from within the object?
Anyway I can keep the scope of the object, whilst still overwriting the function?
Prototype Focus Function Not Working Without Alert
Apr 19, 2010This JS code is on RoR+ImgMap site.I've tweak several portion of ImgMap, specifically around line 2205 of the file imgmap.js by adding code.so that when the user draws a shape, the focus will be set to the respective href field, instead of the default behavior - adding new row(imgmap form).

Aug 30, 2010I need to know how to add an event to a button. The specific issue is that I want to add an event which is a prototype function of a class. Consider the following as an example:

JQuery :: Plugin - Function (Prototype) Test Unknown
Jan 8, 2010I 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.
JQuery :: Bind Variables To A Function Call (like In Prototype.js Function#bind)
Nov 4, 2010is there a way in jQuery to bind variables to function calls similar as prototype.js does it? See [URL]
E.g. in the slideUp method of jQuery you can specify a callback that is called after the effect has finished. I would like to bind a variable to this call so that it is used inside of this callback as a closure.

Position Reporting Function: Flanagan, Yahoo!, Kruze, Prototype ... All Broken At Least A Little.
Oct 9, 2006It seems like determining element position in a web page is a difficult
task. In the position reporting source code I've looked at there are
special fixes for at least some versions of Safari and Opera. I am
doing a lot of dragdrop experimentation and in some situations need a
position reporting function. The function doesn't need to report the
positions of exotic elements like images in button elements; however, I
would like a position reporting function that can at least handle
combinations of scrollable elements and tables....
Calling A Function With Prototype Property - Alert Message Returns In One Instance: 'someAnimal Is [Mammal "Mr. Biggles"]'
Jun 12, 2010In the below code, the alert message returns in one instance: 'someAnimal is [Mammal "Mr. Biggles"]' I don't understand how this is possible. We pass as an argument 'Mr. Biggles' to the Mammal constructor. Then assign it to the object name property. But then it ends there. There is a function called toString which will return the alert. But the toString function is not being called like this: alert('someAnimal is '+someAnimal.toString()); If it was like how it is above, it would make sense to me but now it makes no sense to me because I don't see where that toString() is being called - I only see that it is prototyped to the Mammal object.
Code:
function Mammal(name){
this.name=name;
this.offspring=[];
}
Mammal.prototype.haveABaby=function(){
var newBaby=new Mammal("Baby "+this.name);
this.offspring.push(newBaby);

What's The Difference Between SomeFunc.blah = Function(){} And SomeFunc.prototype.blah = Function(){}?
Dec 21, 2006My query is very straight forward (I think).
What's the difference between
someFunc.blah = function(){ ; }
and
someFunc.prototype.blah = function(){ ; }
?Does someFunc.blah call upon someFunc.prototype.blah?
Is there any difference?
With And Prototype
Aug 24, 2005I can use "with" like this:
function MyObject(message)
{
this.message = message;
}
function _MyObject_speak()
{
alert(this.message);
}
with (MyObject)
{
prototype.speak = _MyObject_speak;
}
I was wondering why I can't use "with" like this:
with (MyObject.prototype)
{
speak = _MyObject_speak;
}
Cracking Prototype.js
Jul 23, 2005One of the complaints about prototype.js (google for it if you're not
familiar with it) is that it's poorly documented. I have this inkling
that the key to understanding prototype.js is in the bind function.
The problem with Javascript is that the "this" operator is poorly
overloaded and it is often hard to understand in the context of
object-oriented javascript
So, let's start with the definition:
Function.prototype.bind = function(object) {
var method = this;
return function() {
method.apply(object, arguments);
}
}
As I read this, it states that all functions (which are themselves
objects) will, in the future, have an associated method called "bind".
The function() function, so to speak, simply instantiates a Function
object with the parameter list and then evals the statement, sticking
the resulting execution-tree in the current code frame.
The "this" there refers to the function object associated with the call
to bind(), right? But the word "arguments" there refers to the
arguments passed to the function object *generated by* the call to
bind().
In every example within prototype.js, bind() is called either in a
constructor or within a method contexted to a javascript object, and is
always called with "this" as its argument, e.g.:
this.options.onComplete = this.updateContent.bind(this);
As I read the code it seems to be stating that the "this" object
referred to within bind()'d functions are being coerced into always
referring to the current instantiated object.
But isn't this always the case anyway? Is this a rather confusing
attempt to ensure "this" purity whereby the call
method.apply(object, arguments)
is forced to always have the reference to the containing object present?
I think I've got it. Bind() generates uniq functions that contain live
references to the objects to which they belong, such that the function
object can then be passed to setTimeout() or onMouseOver(), handlers
that accept functions but not objects.
Object.prototype
Mar 15, 2006Lets say we run: window.alert = function() { };
Is there anyway to 'restore' the original alert() method or is it gone
forever?
I know you can do window.alert = Window.prototype.alert, but lets say
you also set Window.prototype.alert = function() { } or lets say we're
in Opera, which doesnt have a Window "class".
Prototype.js BindAsEventListener Without 'this'
Jun 5, 2006I would like to set up an event observer outside of an object, so I
can't use this.bindAsEventListener. How can I pass the correct object
reference?
I tried something like this, and various other variations, but no luck.
This works when I set it up from inside the object, using "this.",
Event.observe(targetId,'click',targetId.select.bin dAsEventListener(this),false);
Object As A Prototype.
Jan 11, 2007I wanted to add an object as a prototype to separate my methods more
nicely, however, I ran into a couple of problems. Apart from the
obvious "scope" issues I found that any instances of my class shared
the objects methods and properties.
I realise (now) that this is actually how prototypes work, they share
functions and objects rather than create new instances of them for
every "class", but is there any way around it? (or shouldn't I be doing
things like this at all?) Code:
Having More Than One Object Without Using Prototype
Jan 23, 2007I am working on my own pop up calendar, mainly because the one I am currently using crashes the Safari browser at times.
So, I want to verify that what I am doing will work, in that I want to be able to have multiple calendars open at the same time, each independent of the other.
So, I start it off with:
var Calendar = {
dateSelected: null,
topPos:null,
leftPos:null,
somefunction:function(e) {
...
}
};
If I create more than one calendar object, will they have their own variables, in that the dateSelected, topPos and leftPos will be unique to that instance?
Or, is there a better way to do this, that is cross-platform.....

Updating A Div With Prototype
May 17, 2011I have <div id ="changeable"> with some html in it. I have a link that calls the function to replace the info in the div. The problem is that the "creative_development.inc" file is added to the top of the div and does not replace the content. How do I replace the content, and not just add content?
