[:-?] Can someone tell me the logic behind this [:D] as I know that I need to refresh the page in order to get new updates.

show and hide functions not working

This is a bit of code I wrote along the lines of a suckerfish type menu. It targets the anchor instead of the list item to allow focus to be applied and add keyboard functionality. Then traverses up the DOM until it finds a LI with a UL as a child (in case the anchor is nested in a extra span or other inline element for adding styles). Assigning the class works alright, only the top level LIs ...

JDOMP - DB access without AJAX using Javascript, DOM, Php

Don?t misunderstand me ? I use AJAX, but I think there is a far simpler, elegant alternative that just uses Javascript, the DOM and Php ( hence - JDOMP) for data transfers, and is cross-browser without the need for work arounds. JDOMP works in recent versions of Explorer, Mozilla, Safari and Opera. Please note I will not deal with security issues which are always an issue whenever there is access ...

Good DOM tutorials anywhere?

Oh have I enjoyed the last 3 weeks, the luxery of focusing myself on what I know... accessibility. *Sigh* But back to work, back to C#, SQL, Coldfusion, .NET, Visual Studio, COBOL, AJAX all of which I am trying to learn at once. Now I am arguing to making something accessible [b]before[/b] we go live with it rather than wait for a change in state policy and then redo it... and I am ...

troubles with eval and Ajax.Response.responseText in Prototype

Hi all, I'm running into a situation where it seems that JS stops executing as soon as I call an eval in my script. I have an Ajax.Request call to a PHP page that builds a JS object and returns it as the responseText. I want to attach that object to the document (or anywhere else that would allow me to access it later), and to do that, I THINK I need to eval it because it's just a string ...
