In November 2009 Google announced the release of Closure Tools which include the Closure Library. According to this post google closure library contains some battle-hardened parts and others more experimental. Could folks with experience using google closure share info on which parts are solid and which are iffy(er) or not ready for pr...
Considering business background community support available extensions default set of features simplicity of use and reliability why do you prefer one over the another? ...
I am looking for something like the $(document).ready function in jQuery, as I work on experimenting with using Closure. So, my question is simple, is there a function I am missing that will allow me to wait until my function is called when the DOM tree is done? I use unobtrusive javascript, so the idea of putting any javascript in my ...
By now, I'm sure a lot of people will agree jQuery is pretty much the standard JavaScript framework (or as much as one can ever be). I mean, it has been adopted by Nokia and Microsoft. Now that Google has put out it's own framework, is it worth my time learning it? Do you expect good adoption of it because of the Google name? ...
When using goog.require inside a <script> tag to load a script, the specified files aren't loaded. For example: <script> goog.require('goog.dom'); var mydiv = goog.dom.$('foo'); </script> Gives: goog.dom is undefined What's wrong with this usage? ...
Anyone have any experience of using Closure js lib and Mootools in the same page? Conflicts or works ok? ...
We are trying to switch the packaging for our project from dojo to google closure, but we haven't had any luck so far. Here is a simple example that illustrates what we are trying to accomplish: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="runtime/src/core/lib/goog-rev26/base.js"></scr...
We have an application that uses both the google closure and dojo libraries. We have the following in our index page which works as expected: <script type="text/javascript" src="runtime/src/lib/google-closure-rev26/closure/goog/base.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="runtime/src/lib/dojo_release_132_src/dojo/dojo.js"></s...
Hi, instead of domA.style.display = "none"; domA.style.display = "block; I could not find such functions in the library, but I guess they must have it somewhere. ...
I'm trying to build a grid the size of the browser window that has 20x20px squares. My first idea was to just construct a table with the following code, but IE8 (in any mode) will not render the cells unless they have non-white space content. According to this, it will if it has a , but from my testing, it only works if the table i...
I'm getting my feet wet with Google's Closure Library. I've created a simple page with a Select Widget, but it clearly needs some styling (element looks like plain text, and in the example below the menu items pop up beneath the button). I'm assuming the library supports styles -- how can I hook into them? Each example page in SVN see...
Looking through the dom.js source from the Closure library I found this (in goog.dom.getElementsByTagNameAndClass_): if (opt_class) { var arrayLike = {}; var len = 0; for (var i = 0, el; el = els[i]; i++) { var className = el.className; // Check if className has a split function since SVG className does not. if (typeof className.s...
A Google Closure library team member asserts that waiting for DOMContentReady event is a bad practice. The short story is that we don't want to wait for DOMContentReady (or worse the load event) since it leads to bad user experience. The UI is not responsive until all the DOM has been loaded from the network. So the prefe...
The Google Closure (GC) Javascript Library makes it very easy to create an AutoComplete UI, as this demo shows - http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/closure/goog/demos/autocomplete-basic.html . Basically, all we have to do is define an array and pass it on as one of the parameters. I'd like to be able to update the array dyn...
Hi, I'm using the Google Closure Library and goog.ui.tree in particular to build a tree structure GUI component. It works pretty well out of the box, but I'd like to add a few extra controls to each of the leaves (goog.ui.Checkboxes in particular). The problem is that Component.addChild has been overridden in BaseNode so that each add...
Google's Closure Library looks like it has a lot of great features, but I'm not seeing any examples of it used with ASP.NET sites. I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience using the two together and what parts. Is is a good or bad experience? EDIT: To clarify, I'm asking about Closure Library and not Closure Compiler or Closure T...
I recently switched to Google closure for a new project. I am having trouble adding the authenticity token to the headers in a ajax call. How do i go about it? My Ajax snippet (using goog.net.XhrIo class): var initialHTMLContent = superField[i].getCleanContents(); var data = goog.Uri.QueryData.createFromMap(new goog.structs.Map({ bo...
I get back the responseXml as a javascript object XMLdocument. How do i parse it to just return the body? here is my code snippet: goog.net.XhrIo.send("/blogs/create?authenticity_token="+ goog.string.urlEncode(authtoken), function(e) { var xhr = /** @type {goog.net.XhrIo} */ (e.target); var responseXml = xhr...
I'm trying to find a tool that generates HTML documentation for my Javascript source code. Does anyone know if the tool that Google uses to generate the interface at the following URLs is open source? Would I be able to generate similar output? http://closure-library.googlecode.com/svn/docs/class_goog_proto2_Serializer.html http://c...
hi everyone, could someone explain to me how the Closure works in more user-friendly form? Its help and documentation leads me nowhere really. How do you perform a simple task such as selecting and modifying the dom (e.g. select all on page and hide them)? ...
