Monday, June 16 2008 22:25tons of tiny bug fixes for ajax

The past days have been hectic. I was really fed up with the small bugs related to ajax edit/update/remove/etc.

The beasts were:

One page – many forms.

This bug prevented from adding comments to multiple items on a single page. There were also problems with opening many ‘edit’ forms.

Drop within each

Because of this one, you could not produce a list of drop boxes by using ‘each’ (<r:tags do='each' do='drop' set='tagged'/>). This was a pity.

Unlink same object in different contexts

If an object appears inside many contexts (tag boxes for example), unlink was removing the wrong element (duplicate dom_id).

And as a bonus for clearing all this, we can now unlink by clicking on an image/div/text instead of the default delete ().

Example involving most of the bug fixes above:

<ul do='images in site'><li do='each' draggable='true' do='img' mode='mini'/></ul>

<ul do='tags in site'>
  <li do='each' do='drop' set='tagged'>
    <ul do='tagged'>
      <li do='each' do='unlink' do='img' mode='pv'/>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

I am happy.
