Prototype Javascript Framework

Release candidate 4

We’ve squeezed a couple more bugs and decided to play safe by releasing yet another release candidate: Prototype 1.5.1_rc4.

   Is there any movement from the Scriptaculous camp? The latest SVN is still incompatible with Prototype 1.5.1, and I would try help but the both of you insist in not commenting your code at all.

   The lastest script.aculo.us SVN works just fine with Prototype 1.5.1 (it even includes a slightly earlier 1.5.1 rc). Could you please provide information as to what doesn’t work (use the mailing list!).

   I filed a bug http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7809 Your contribute page mentions a mailing list, but doesn’t link to it.

   @Kroc – try looking at the “Discuss” link. It will take you to the mailing lists.

   /me whispers: check it out, 1.5.1 is already here ;-)

   (and a 1.5.2_rc0, of course)

   cheers.

   When evaluating JSON prototype will not convert ‘true’ to boolean value. It is left as a string. Am I missing something?

   When sending a JSON string to the client it has no quotes around it.

   When evaluating JSON prototype will not convert ‘true’ to boolean value. It is left as a string. Am I missing something?

   Most probably. If you want true to be converted to a boolean, your JSON string must look something like this:

   var json = '{"bool": true}';
   json = json.evalJSON();
   typeof json.bool;
   // -> 'boolean'
   

   However, if your JSON string looks like the below… you’re obviously going to get a string instead:

   var json = '{"str": "true"}';
   json = json.evalJSON();
   typeof json.str;
   // -> 'string'
   

   There is no black magic involved in JSON, you’re just evaluating a string using eval.

   When sending a JSON string to the client it has no quotes around it.

   Are you sending your string in the body of a 'POST' request? Have you passed your string to Object.toJSON or called the String#toJSON method on it ? These questions are best asked (and answered) on the mialing list or irc.

   Hope this helped.
