Jquery - Dialogue not displaying correctly on IE6

- by ryeguy

I am trying to use bgiform but it seems to have no effect. The text in IE is pushed off of the screen of the dialogue box when its displayed. It works fine in FF. Any ideas? <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Zoleris</title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="jquery-ui-themeroller/theme/ui.theme.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.1.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="bgiframe_2.1.1/jquery.bgiframe.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-ui-personalized-1.5.3.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready( function() { $("#block").dialog({ bgiframe: true}); } ); </script> <style> #block { width: 150px; height: 70px; margin: 10px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="block" title="title">blah</div> </body> </html>

Why does coffeescript generate classes like this?

- by ryeguy

Given the following coffeescript code: class Animal constructor: (@name) -> speak: (things) -> "My name is #{@name} and I like #{things}" This is generated: var Animal = (function() { function Animal(name) { this.name = name; } Animal.prototype.speak = function(things) { return "My name is " + this.name + " and I like " + things; }; return Animal; })(); But why isn't this more idiomatic code generated? var Animal = function Animal(name) { this.name = name; }; Animal.prototype.speak = function(things) { return "My name is " + this.name + " and I like " + things; }; I know that coffeescript wraps a lot of stuff in anonymous functions to control scope leak, but what could leak here?

Is it possible for a parent to use a child's constant or static variables from inside a static metho

- by ryeguy

Below is an example of what I'm trying to do. The parent can't access any of the child's variables. It doesn't matter what technique I use (static or constants), I just need some kind of functionality like this. class ParentClass { public static function staticFunc() { //both of these will throw a (static|const) not defined error echo self::$myStatic; echo self::MY_CONSTANT; } } class ChildClass extends ParentClass { const MY_CONSTANT = 1; public static $myStatic = 2; } ChildClass::staticFunc();

Is there any reason I shouldn't do database calls from the destructor?

- by ryeguy

I want to create a sort of datamapper library, where you'd do something like this: $users = Users::getTable(); $users->add($newUser1); $users->add($newUser2); Now $users contains 2 user records, but they aren't yet persisted to the database. To be efficient, I'd like to flush them all at once. I would like to have a flush() method to do this (not an issue), but I'd also like for it to happen implicitly when the $users table reference falls out of scope. Is there any reason I shouldn't do this in the destructor?
