'''script.aculo.us''' is a [[JavaScript]] library built on the [[Prototype JavaScript Framework]], providing dynamic visual effects and user interface elements via the [[Document Object Model]] (DOM). |
|||
It is most notably included with [[Ruby on Rails]] and [[Seaside (software)|Seaside]], but also provided separately to work with other [[web application frameworks]] and scripting languages. |
|||
script.aculo.us was extracted by Thomas Fuchs from his work on [[fluxiom]], a web based [[digital asset management]] tool by the design company [[wollzelle]].<ref name="interview-thomasf">[http://ajaxian.com/archives/audible-ajax-episode-12-thomas-fuchs-of-scriptaculous Ajaxian » Audible Ajax Episode 12: Thomas Fuchs of Script.aculo.us]</ref> It was first released to the public in June 2005. |
|||
==Features== |
|||
script.aculo.us extends the [[Prototype JavaScript Framework]] by adding visual effects, user interface controls, and utilities. |
|||
===Visual effects=== |
|||
There are five core effects script.aculo.us offers: Opacity, Scale, MoveBy, Highlight, and Parallel. Through these effects there are over 16 additional effects using combinations of the core effects out of the box. Programmers can also extend existing and create new effects. |
|||
Enabling an effect is a matter of assigning an element with an ID name and one line of code for the effect. Below is an example for the Effect.Fade effect applied to a DOM element with an ID of 'message-box': |
|||
<source lang="javascript"> |
|||
new Effect.Fade('message-box'); |
|||
</source> |
|||
This will cause the target ID to fade in opacity and end by setting the CSS "display" property to "none". |
|||
Various other settings within the effect can be modified, such as the duration of the effect and the range of the effect: |
|||
<source lang="javascript"> |
|||
new Effect.Fade('message-box', { |
|||
duration: 2.0, |
|||
from: 0.0, |
|||
to: 0.8 |
|||
}); |
|||
</source> |
|||
This would fade the element, but stop when the effect is 80% complete (with an opacity of 20%). |
|||
===Controls=== |
|||
Controls offers user interface elements including: |
|||
* Drag And Drop |
|||
** Draggables |
|||
** Droppables |
|||
** Sortables |
|||
** Slider |
|||
* Autocompletion |
|||
* In Place Editing |
|||
===Builder=== |
|||
Builder allows creating DOM elements dynamically. Using the sample code below: |
|||
<source lang="javascript"> |
|||
element = Builder.node('div',{id:'ghosttrain'},[ |
|||
Builder.node('div',{className:'controls',style:'font-size:11px'},[ |
|||
Builder.node('h1','Ghost Train'), |
|||
"testtext", 2, 3, 4, |
|||
Builder.node('ul',[ |
|||
Builder.node('li',{className:'active', onclick:'test()'},'Record') |
|||
]) |
|||
]) |
|||
]); |
|||
</source> |
|||
...creates the following (without [[Whitespace (computing)|whitespace]]): |
|||
<source lang="html4strict"> |
|||
<div id="ghosttrain"> |
|||
<div class="controls" style="font-size:11px"> |
|||
<h1>Ghost Train</h1> |
|||
testtext234 |
|||
<ul> |
|||
<li class="active" onclick="test()">Record</li> |
|||
</ul> |
|||
</div> |
|||
</div> |
|||
</source> |
