An implementation of lightbox style dialogs to replace native browser dialogs (alert, confirm, prompt).
- Sprocketized
- Effects are optional
- Customizable via css and asset paths
- Easily extendable
- Unit tested
Dialog.alert('This is a dialog');
Dialog.confirm('Are you sure?', function(yes) {
if (yes) Dialog.alert('Good for you');
else Dialog.alert('Boohoo');
});
Dialog.prompt('What is your name?', function(answer) {
if (answer) Dialog.alert('Hi, ' + answer);
else Dialog.alert('How rude!');
});
new Dialog.Ajax('/path/to/content');
new Dialog.Base({
content: '<form action="/#" method="post"><p><label for="login">Login</label><br/><input type="text" name="login" id="login"/></p><p><label for="password">Password</label><br/><input type="password" name="password" id="password"/></p></form>',
buttons: [
{text: 'Login', close: false, onclick: function(event) {
event.stop();
event.element().up('.dialog').down('form').submit();
}},
{text: 'Cancel', close: true, onclick: Event.stopper}
],
afterShow: function() {
Dialog.current().contents.down('input').activate();
}
});
You can set protototo defaults via DialogOptions.
By default protototo assumes that asset paths are:
- /images/protototo
- /stylesheets/protototo
If you want these to be different you can specify options before loading protototo:
DialogOptions = {
assetPrefix: '/your/prefix',
stylesheetPath: '/path/to/stylesheet.css', // will look in /your/prefix/path/to/stylesheet.css
busyImage: '/path/to/ajax/working.gif' // will look in /your/prefix/path/to/ajax/working.gif
};
Other default options for all dialogs (these are the actual defaults):
DialogOptions = {
overlayOpacity: 0.75,
transitionDuration: 0.4,
defaultWidth: 400,
Buttons: {
template: new Template('<a href="#" class="#{className}">#{text}</a>') // how to build buttons
}
};
Options you can pass to dialogs to override defaults:
width: overrides the default widthmodal: true if you want to simulate a modal dialogtransitionDuration: overrides the default transition timebuttons: an array of button descriptions
Button descriptions depend on the template used to create buttons. For a template like
<a href="#" class="#{className}">#{text}</a>
the description should include at least text and optionally a className.
Additionally each button description accepts
close: true if you want the button to close the dialogonclick: a function to execute when the button is clicked
- Prototype 1.6.1
- Script.aculo.us effects 1.8.2 (preferred but not required)
- Download http://cloud.github.com/downloads/dwg/protototo/protototo-v1.0.tar.gz
- Extract tar ball
- Copy the contents of dist to your server
Then include the following in the html where you want protototo:
<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/prototype.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/effects.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/protototo.js"></script>
