Prototype Ajax.Updater-Question

DefunctExodus

Hello,

I am still learning the ways of prototype. I have a noobish question i am sure.

I am attempting to update a div on click within my webpage, This is normally fine and i have no problem doing it.

However this time i am having issues. The page i am trying to include is primarly built with prototype and scriptalicious.

When i update the required div i get a blank space with only the html form and submit button (non of the JS)

So i suppose my question is this, Does ajax.updater not work with pages that contain a javascript?

Thanks

I'm not sure it filters anything out for you,
i've used prototype on a few occasions, but I've never gone through ti's structure.
header requests's responseText returns the actual html from the requested file.
If you are getting a response but not the response you want, odds are it's the file your page is trying to update with. I have on a handful of occasions included javascript via ajax, but never libraries so you might have an issue there.

If you can give us code / a url to see the problemt hat would be helpful

It would have to, because Ajax.Updater is JavaScript.

What browsers does this occur in? I have had experience with IE7 being unable to recognise Javascript and CSS that is loaded into the page after the page has been rendered. The only solution I found was to not load it via Ajax.

Sorry for the delayed reply,

Thank you for the responses. I have resolved the issue by using ajax.request instead.

However i am now running into another issue.

The page is loaded into the div and you can do what you have to with it. However it does not work 100% in IE (Surprise)

I am getting an error when i try to use the in place editing.

This is the line i am getting the error on

		Event.observe(document,'click', this.windowClick.bindAsEventListener(this));

The IE error that is getting thrown out is "Object doesn't support this property or method"

Any suggestions? aside from removing IE 6? 🙂

Obviously it works fine in FF and does not throw out any errors.

Is there a problem with Event.observe in ie?

When the returned html contains js then you have to tell prototype to evaluate the scripts (evalScripts) when it loads them for it to work.

Pay particular attention to the notes about creating an instance of a function as opposed to just defining the function within a script.
