Rich Text Editor.. and another iteration

Posted on Wednesday 9 January 2008

The Rich Text Editor in all it’s glory..

One thing I haven’t figured out is how to register key event listeners on the iframe’s in Opera.
I managed to get editorKeyUpHandler being called in Safari and Firefox but haven’t yet tamed Opera - Any clues?

I am loving Prototype, as I’ve learnt more about it over the last week - I’ve updated the script to use more of it’s Class, DOM and Event functions. Writing cross-browser OO javascript has never been so easy.

The pageup website is about to get a facelift which is looking really good. Also, a section of the pageup people application named ‘the Hiring Manager Interface’ which is a subset of features of the app - Is soon to be put into a testing environment so my browser-compatible updates can be tested.

I’m enjoying my work at pageup, and enjoying doing more work with javascript.

    I’ve just started looking at jQuery as an alternative to Prototype. Check it out, it’s got some pretty nice stuff.

    …. not that Prototype isn’t good, but jQuery’s approach to certain things is quite different which makes it worth having a look at. For instance, $(’.myclass’) can return 0, 1 or many things, and you can use the same operations to manipulate all cases (so you don’t have to check for null).

    I will look into JQuery also,

    Prototype can do the same.. though you do need an extra dollar :)
    var classedElements = $$(’.myclass’);
    classedElements.each(function(elm) {
    // Will this get run 0, 1 or * times?
    })
