Dean, with regard to semicolons; What if you were to add semicolons back into the origonal source, before packing rather than trying to make packer handle the missing cases.

I believe you could probably use Firefox’s Function.toString to your advantage as i believe if you give it code that doesnt have semicolons, the toStringed version will have had the semicolons inserted into the correct place.

I haven’t looked at the code for the new packer so i dont really know how viable that is sorry.

sorry, i am a muppet!

JFYI, only people on the project’s team can edit the wiki. It’s still a nice service though, thanks for making Base2 open source

Hey Dean, thanks for all the great work! This is going to be so helpful!

I have, what I think, is quite the newbie question. I’ve downloaded the base2-dom-fp.js file, then added the following in my page:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”base2-dom-fp.js”></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”> var e = base2.DOM.Document.getElementsByClassName(“something”); </script>

When I open this page in Firefox (2.0.0.3 on my Mac), I get the following error:

b has no Properties (base2-dom-fp.js)

Am I missing something here? Just playing around with it to see how it worked…

If you add ping+gaezydgn@cia.vc to the list of addresses to email, you can have better CIA stats. At the moment I’ve set it to poll the svn once an hour.

Sorry, but I couldn’t work out what the various builds did? What’s the difference?

Comment: #8

I have never used google code before but it seems that there is only the svn working on yours.

Comment: #9

@Thomas – I will explain the various libraries at a later date. For the time being I am only supporting base2.DOM:

http://base2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/lib/base2-dom-fp.js

The -fp suffix indicates that it is a full package (includes all dependencies) and that it is packed.

Hi Dean! I just was looking on the Google-site, but under “downloads” there are no files to download. Is this just a page build to inform about the project?

Comment: #11

There are no downloads. The code is still being developed. You can access a developers cut at the address above. Eventually I will serve the code directly from Google’s servers at a permanent URL.

Is there a workaround for the iframe-load thing? Or could it be just an IE problem?

Comment: #13

It really lets JavaScript look like JavaScript:) I think the idea behind Base2.DOM is great. Let’s make all browsers behave the same by implementing missing features, fixing broken ones and implementing new features. Great stuff, Dean

Comment: #14

@ RV : An IE problem I think, but perhaps dean would add more explanations.

Comment: #15

What “iframe-load thing”?

I would like to extend your Array2 class, but you’ve deleted the extend function from it. When I tried to comment that row out I got an error so instead of figuring out how all your code works I thought I’ll just ask you.

How can I extend your Array2 class to create a customized collection?

/JT

Oh and have a look at some other questions I wrote here before I found base2. you’ve probably solved some of them in base2 already.

Comment: #17

@Johan – base2 already has a Collection class. If you want to augment Array2 then use the implement() method.

Comment: #18

Dean, how can I take part in your community?

Comment: #19

Dean, thanks for this great resources. base 2 is awesome!
