| == script.aculo.us web 2.0 javascript |
|
|
| The Web is changing. The 30-year-old terminal-like technology it was originally |
| is gradually giving way to new ways of doing things. The power of AJAX allows |
| for rich user interaction without the trouble that has bugged traditional |
| web applications. |
|
|
| Building upon the wonderful Prototype JavaScript library, script.aculo.us |
| provides you with some great additional ingredients to mix in. |
|
|
| For more information, see http://script.aculo.us/ |

|
| == What's new in this release? |
|
|
| See the CHANGELOG file for information on what's new. |
|
|
| You can follow http://twitter.com/scriptaculous if you want |
| to be updated as we fix bugs and add new features. |
|
|
| == Installation/Usage |
|
|
| script.aculo.us includes the Prototype JavaScript Framework |
| V1.6.0. You can use later versions, as they become available |
| (see http://prototypejs.org/). |
|
|
| Put prototype.js, and the six files scriptaculous.js, |
| builder.js, effects.js, dragdrop.js, controls.js and slider.js |
| in a directory of your website, e.g. /javascripts. |
|
|
| (The sound.js and unittest.js files are optional) |
|
|
| Now, you can include the scripts by adding the following |
| tags to the HEAD section of your HTML pages: |
|
|
| <script src="javascripts/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> |
| <script src="javascripts/scriptaculous.js" type="text/javascript"></script> |
|
|
| scriptaculous.js will automatically load the other files of the |
| script.aculo.us distribution in, provided they are accessible |
| via the same path. |
|
|
| See http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Usage for detailed |
| usage instructions. |
|
|
| == The distribution |
|
|
| Besides the script.aculo.us files in src, there's a complete |
| test tree included which holds functional and unit tests for |
| script.aculo.us. |
|
|
| If you need examples on how to implement things, the best place to |
| start is by opening test/run_functional_tests.html or |
| test/run_unit_tests.html in your browser, and looking at |
| the sources of the examples provided. |
