Alexander Holbreich» javascript http://alexander.holbreich.org Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud. ~Hermann Hesse Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:44:21 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 LightWindow: loading problemhttp://alexander.holbreich.org/2008/01/lightwindow-loading-problem/ http://alexander.holbreich.org/2008/01/lightwindow-loading-problem/#comments Wed, 02 Jan 2008 22:00:35 +0000 shuron http://alexander.holbreich.org2008/01/lightwindow-loading-problem/ I think nearly everybody have already seen Lightbox script in action. It’s often used to present Pictures nicely. LightWindow is one of general purposes, cause it’s not only suitable for pictures, nearly every content can be presented with it. I use it now in one of my small projects where i have to present several beauty pictures (I’ll show it you later :) ).

But there is one small problem i found, LightWindow does not work till the whole page is loaded. But that is not good, when i have multiply images on the same page and network speed is not good. LighWindow bases on prototype and I’m not familiar with that in the moment, and so unsure whether there is a way to quick as possible enable javascript execution.

I know, in jQuery it would work, cause there is a way to start execution of javascript already when DOM is loaded. Just put your code inside of:

$(document).ready(function() {
// put all your jQuery goodness in here.
});

Is there something similar in the Prototype? Does anybody know?

P.S. PlugIn WordPresss that enables LightWindow for WordPress, i have not testet it.

OK earlier i had just to adopt some of part of scripts for my needs, but with emerging of Ajax and Web 2.0 also i have more often do deal with JavaScript. So i need one appropriate Editor or better an IDE special for JavaScript. But it comes better, Felix Geisendörfer (Man behind “ThinkingPHP and beyond”) , tells me that he is using Notepad++ and Aptana. Aptana seem to be that IDE for JavaScript i was looking for.
The focus of Aptana is development of Ajax enabled web applications. The Aptana IDE is based on Eclipse Rich Client Platform, and ins available as Standalone Application and also as Plug-in for Eclipse IDE. Both have the same features set. And it is of course perfect for me, because i try to use Eclipse for everything (And it it possible ;) ). To install the plug-in use this Update-site: Aptana perspective. There you can for example create a new project based on some famous JavaScript Frameworks:

Creation new Ajax Library project in Aptana

You can select some famous Java Scripts(AJAX) Frameworks that will be automatically added to your project.Select Ajax libraries in Aptana

In the created project you will find already working examples wit the core libraries you has selected in the wizard before.
Finely here is an screenshot of auto-help, and auto-suggestions. This looks real powerful at for me.

Autocomplition in Aptana
Aptana is a new IDE, the current version is 0.2.7 but it already has some interesting features and it the best for me and my Java-scripts. Aptana rapidly gains community, and i thing this project will succeed in the future, and do it already right now. With new versions of Eclipse PHP IDE and Aptana, developers have, open source web development oriented IDE of the first class!
