The releases are coming fast and furious for Prototype and script.aculo.us. Thomas Fuchs has sync’d up to the latest Prototype adding features along the way:

  • Merge assertElementsMatch and assertElementMatches from Prototype’s
    [4986] unittest.js [Sam Stephenson]
  • Add assertRespondsTo and shouldRespondTo assertions

// object
var testObj = {
isNice: function() { }
}

// test
assertRespondsTo('isNice', testObj);
  • Make Sortable.serialize handle DOM IDs like ’some_element_1′ correctly, fixes #5324
  • Add support for onStart, onDrag and onEnd events directly on Draggables (invoked from the Draggables.notify), fixes #4747 [thx scriptkitchen]

new Draggable('some_id',{
onStart:function(){ /* ... */ },
onDrag:function(){ /* ... */ },
onEnd:function(){ /* ... */ }
});
  • Add autoSelect option to Autocompleters to auto select an entry if only one is returned, fixes #5183 [thx cassiano dandrea]
  • Added delay option to Draggables and Sortables, see test/functional/dragdrop_delay_test.html for usage, implements #3325 [thx lsimon, tomg]

    existing DOM elements, added a assertRaise method to unit tests

Builder.dump();
var element = DIV({id:'ghosttrain'},[
DIV({style:'font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;'},[
