Retrieving AJAX container element name?

7 New Member
Is there any possible way (I'm using prototype framework) to glean what the name of the container element to be updated (using Ajax.Updater) is?

I have appended at the bottom of prototype.js a function that shows a loading dialog when any AJAX interaction takes place, but I need to cancel it for one particular element and cannot figure out a way without knowing the element name.

Here's the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Ajax.Responders.register({
  2.   onCreate:function() {
  3.     if($('busy') && Ajax.activeRequestCount > 0) {
  4.       // show the loading dialog
  5.     }
  6.   }
  7. });
I would love to do something like alert(Ajax.Upda ter.container); but that does not work, does anyone know how to do this?

The container is passed as the first parameter to Ajax.Updater.

Hi, I'm working on the following code, which works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. The problem is its not posting the variable to my page and I'm thinking its something wrong with the getElementByID but the code is as per an example on a tutorial website (http://www.tizag.com/ ajaxTutorial/ajax-javascript.php). The Select element is as follows: <select style="width:240px;font-size:8pt" id='servicet'

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
