Future plans/timeline for Mochikit?

maskl...@gmail.com (Masklinn) — Thu, 11 mar 2010 09:18:37 UT

I only recently discovered that, as opposed to what the website itself
let believe (release feed, official blog, and even Bob's blog),
MochiKit was not unmaintained since November 2008, and that there was
in fact quite a bit of activity on 1.4.3 and 1.5 branches, and even a
sizzle/selectors branch.
So my question is, is there any timeline for the 1.4.3 release, and

Patch for ticket #329

niek.kouwenb...@gmail.com (Niek Kouwenberg) — Mon, 22 fev 2010 13:00:42 UT

MochiKit.Base.serializeJSON fails for objects with a 'length' property
This method used an 'is array like'-like check, instead of a strict 'is
array' check. The provided patch replaces the if-statement with the isArray
checks as implemented in Prototype.js and jQuery. This does not break
existing functionality, but prevents the errors for objects with a lenght

Providing patch for ticket #361

niek.kouwenb...@gmail.com (niek.kouwenberg@gmail.com) — Thu, 18 fev 2010 11:18:51 UT

Hi,
I've just created a ticket for which I have a patch. Since editing and
replying to tickets seems to be disabled since 2008, I have no way of
attaching this patch.
Since I've been using MochiKit quite some time now in several
projects, I am keen on helping a little with development (which seems
rather slow). Not being able to provide patches or comment to tickets

Async issue in FF

leonco...@gmail.com (LeonCowle) — Wed, 17 fev 2010 12:03:05 UT

Hi,
I'm having some problems with the mochikit.async code in FF (only
tested in 3.6), whereas it works as expected in IE6/7 and Chrome.
I do something akin to:
function doIt() {
...
var myresult = doSimpleXMLHttpRequest( url, { foo : bar } );
myresult.addCallback( function(result) {
alert("test");

Packing on the function level

eoghanomur...@gmail.com (Eoghan) — Tue, 09 fev 2010 17:25:57 UT

Has anyone made an attempt to pack up MochiKit omitting functions that
are not used?
e.g. include DateTime.toISODate but not DateTime.toPaddedAmericanDate
if the latter doesn't happen to be called in a given file.
I realise this would be non trivial to do automatically..

connect to keyboard events not working in FireFox?

ssade...@gmail.com (SimonS) — Fri, 05 fev 2010 07:34:32 UT

Hi,
The following works for me in IE, Chrome and Safari, but fails in
FireFox 3.6 (running on Vistax64). The 'key down' event just doesn't
seem to get received:

<html>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript' src='MochiKit.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>

MochiKit.Animator and sizzle branch

chris.leemes...@gmail.com (Chris Lee-Messer) — Wed, 06 jan 2010 05:11:13 UT

I was updating one of my projects which uses MochiKit and I thought to
look what's new in MochiKit development. My project doesn't use
visual effects, but I thought with the next version I might do some
effects. I found that Karl Guertin's Animator pages weren't up.
From emailing him, I learned that he's done some upgrades to his site

JSON.parse & MochiKit.Base.evalJSON

cederb...@gmail.com (Per Cederberg) — Sat, 28 nov 2009 22:18:38 UT

I just tried to modify MochiKit.Base.evalJSON() to use the new
JSON.parse() function when available. This would give us the following
advantages:

1. Speed (but, well... eval() is probably fast enough already)
2. Security

Unfortunately we would also get a nasty regression issue due to the
stricter syntax enforcement in JSON.parse() vs. eval(). It seems that

Google Closure includes MochiKit

Hi,

Google recently announced their core javascript library - Closure.

When browsing the code I noticed it uses parts of MochiKit:

MochiKit.DOM.getElementsByTagAndClassName performance

bea...@gmail.com (takashi mizohata) — Tue, 03 nov 2009 22:23:09 UT

Hi All,
Forgive me, if this is a recurring argument.
Today I was looking at Firebug profiler and I realize that
getElementsByTagAndClassName takes certain percentages of processing
time. And I took a look at the code, and I did a little bit of hand
optimization. It doesn't change any semantics of code, but just

MochiTAL

silas.sant...@orange.fr (ss) — Thu, 30 jul 2009 15:55:31 UT

Hi,

I am new to JavaScript and to Mochikit, but I've seen enough of it
(Mochikit) to get very much interested about it. I am currently
looking into the Ajax Tables example from the Mochikit web site, and I
have to confess that I am a little bit confused about the MochiTAL
processing. So, I thought I'd drop a line to check if anyone is kind

Ticket #352: Adding MochiKit.DateTime.toISOTime arguments to the API

cederb...@gmail.com (Per Cederberg) — Tue, 21 jul 2009 07:41:22 UT

In ticket #352 the realISO parameter in the
MochiKit.DateTime.toISOTime() function is discussed:

It was introduced by Bob in r377 (some 4 years ago), but never added
to the documentation or the official API:

Is it time that we now add it? Or is it just one of those hacks that

Base.js unescape reassignment and intrusion protection systems

mstras...@gmail.com (Michael) — Fri, 17 jul 2009 01:34:17 UT

I have found a problem with MochiKit Base.js and the intrusion
protection system at work. The IPS truncates Base.js because it
assigns the unescape() function to a variable (in parseQueryString(),
line 1225 in version 1.4.2 of Base.js). The IPS response is documented
here:

Error running tests with Opera 10

giulio.ces...@gmail.com (Giulio Cesare Solaroli) — Sat, 11 jul 2009 16:57:52 UT

Hello,
I was having some issues running Clipperz test suite with Opera 10.
Looking closer at the failed tests, I have find out that Opera 10 is
returning a messed up name and description for Exceptions.
This problem is triggered also running the default MochiKit tests; in
MochiKit.Async test actually.
