Subject:

Update Prototype/script.aculo.us libraries to new versions

Hi, Firstly, thanks for HTML::Prototype! I'm beginning to add some AJAX magic to some web projects I'm working on, and this module is a big help! However, as I began to use this module, I noticed that the Javascript libraries included in version 1.48 are out of date with the current ones (HTML::Prototype includes Prototype 1.4.0, while Prototype 1.6.0 from upstream has been up for a while now.) So I'm filing this bug to bump for this update.

We've all long since found that while it works just about for very simple cases, learning javascript and writing the code yourself is a much better idea in the long run. Catalyst has considered HTML::Prototype a "we recommend you don't use this" for a couple of years now. Show quoted text

If you'd be willing to file a patch that does this, I'm sure one of us could apply and release for you. -- Matt S Trout Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?

Ah. I haven't really looked deeper into HTML::Prototype usage, but I agree that writing the actual Javascript rather than letting this module autogenerate it is better for real applications. This module is still helpful though, as it got my feet wet with AJAX ;) Show quoted text

I'll probably do.

I'm rather busy at the moment - last couple of month/years - with not having time to fix some bugs and unfinished stuff i have on CPAN. If you really want the new features added, feel free to add them. I kindly release them for you or hand over the whole project. cheers, esskar On Mo. 28.
