I've created a new class using prototype.js. After I make the
ajax.request all references to this.myClassMet hodorVariable are lost.
Does the ajax method blow out the object persistance? I'm fairly new to
OOP javascript so could be (and probably am) overlooking some detail.
Below is the logic of what i'm trying to do.
//Javascript code
var myClass = Class.create();
myClass.prototy pe={
initialize: function(fm) {
//Static Variables
this.myMessage = 'hello';
this.myName = 'Nick';
this.frm = fm;
this.WSURL = '/some/Server/script';
this.frm.onSubm it =
this.submitForm .bindAsEventLis tener(this);
},
submitForm: function(evt) {
var pars = myMessage;
var myAjax = new Ajax.Request( this.WSURL, { method: 'get',
parameters: pars, onSuccess: this.myHandler} );
},
myHandler: function(ajaxRe sponse) {
this.myMessage( ajaxResponse.re sponseText);
},
myMessage: function(str) {
alert(str);
}
};
//HTML Code
<form name="someForm" id="someForm" method="post" action="##">
<input type="text" id="myText" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</form>
<script>var testClass = new myClass('somefo rm');</script>

There above is 99.99999999% of your problem. Using a worthless piece of
junk script library.
After I make the ajax.request all references to this.myClassMet hodorVariable
are lost.
Stop using prototype.js, you don't have an issue with it anymore.
Why do people come here asking for help with a specific library instead
of going to the inept programmer who wrote that library?

wow that was a useful contribution to the programming community.
I know how about nobody develops any libraries and we all take 2 months
to accomplish what can be done in 2 days.
better yet, lets boycott javascript altogether, after all it was prolly
written by some inept programmer.
Dont get me wrong I still dont think this is the place to ask for help
with other libraries they should have there own group and if they dont
have one its pretty easy to make one. (thats what I did for
scriptaculous anyway)
But its not fair to call the programmers of thsoe libraries inept, its
usally the person using the control who is inept.

Most people here would agree.
Creating a js library using questionable programming techniques, then
providing very little documentation and no tech support seems kind of
anti-social, IMO.
But its not fair to call the programmers of thsoe libraries inept, its

I think inept is a bit much. Clearly, the author of prototype.js has
technical knowledge and skills far beyond most js coders.
I think 'misguided' may be a better term.
But then, different people would apply that label to almost anyone, myself
included ;)

Programming community? This is Usenet. Its a discussion group, nothing
more and nothing less.

If you are that inept, have at it.

Probably so. But I bet they can spell probably.

That is part of what makes them inept.
inept - lacking sense or reason : FOOLISH
And anybody that creates code such as prototype.js with it's complexity
without supporting it or even documenting it is, guess what? Inept.

That may be true also. But I doubt it. The same can be said for eval.
eval itself may or may not be evil, its just the person using it, right?
Well, anybody that understands the problems/drawbacks of eval enough to
know when to use doesn't use it. Same with prototype.js. If the
programmer understands enough to wade through that code to determine
what it does can write there own in less time and have the added benefit
of knowing exactly what it is doing.

In this case (Prototype) it is. For it has been shown here that its author
ignored existing language features in favor of a newly invented wheel that
does not run with carriages that are little older than that he rode on, and
there are many examples on how to do much better than that.

Expect to see it more as the popularity of Ruby on Rails grows. This
framework is tied closely to Prototype.js.
There appears to be plenty of documentation at http://www.sergiopereira.com/articles/prototype.js.html, might be a good
place to send people who ask here.

That last sentence seems to mean the the knowledgable don't ever use
eval. Doesn't JSON absolutely require the use of at least one eval? I
don't mean this to be nit picking. I'm curious if there is another way
to deal with a JSON response or if you think those using JSON should be
doing something else?

in section 10.1.8 (Arguments Object) it is stated that the "internal

One 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:
