Control.Tabs

AquilaX — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:15:48 +0000

I spend half of the day today, wondering why Control.tabs didn't work properly. The non-active div-s didn't hide on page load and the only way to initialize them as hidden was to set style="display:hidden" on every div, which makes the code very ugly.

So I decided to debug the problem and it turned out that the prototype version I'm using is 1.6. Unfortunately (for me) there were changes in hash handling. In fact the old method of setting and getting values doesn't work anymore.
The solution is to use prototype 1.5 or the new method:

 
this.containers.set(link.key, $(link.key));

and

 
this.containers.get(link.key)

My first Google Gadget

A while ago I decided to give Google Gadgets a try. I looked at the API and decided to create small gadget, which shows how much time I spend on the iGoogle page. The gadget itself can be found here and the source code can be downloaded from here.

The main idea is to use _IG_Prefs to store the time every 10 seconds in the user's server session and to load it on initialization.
