Simple javascript XHR object with fix for missing onreadystatechange event in Firefox (for synchronous calls)

This code fixes the issue in Firefox where the onreadystatechange event is not called for synchronous XHR requests. It is based on the XHConn script from http://xkr.us/code/javascript/XHConn/, patched with the fix documented at http://lukav.com/wordpress/2007/04/12/firefox-firebug-and-synchronos-calls-problem/

YUI DataTable - Understanding ISO / SQL Date Time Formats

As of YUI 2.5.1 the DataSource utility (which feeds the DataTable widget) only accepts either native Javascript Date objects or a string formatted to the North American locale (mm/dd/yyyyy) when using parser: "date" in your schema.

This can cause problems outside the USA, particularly if you are using ISO date formats say from MySQL DateTime columns. So let's fix this and include a Calendar widget for editing.

First, we depend on Datejs so ensure you've already got this loaded into the application. Next you need a couple of custom callback methods

/**
 * Accepts a date string in any format that datejs.com's library can recognise.
 * Returns a Date object if successful, false otherwise
 */
parseSQLDate = function(data)
{
       var date = null;
       try {date = Date.parse(data);return date;}
       catch(e) {return false;}
};
/**
 * This is a formatting callback for YUI DataTable to present date in ISO format
 * instead of American mm/dd/yyyy
 */
formatDateInDataTable = function(elCell, oRecord, oColumn, oData)
{
       var oDate = oData;
       elCell.innerHTML = oDate.toString('yyyy-MM-dd');
};


Now to activate modify your schema thus:

dataSource.responseSchema = {
       resultsList: "items",
       fields: [{key: "created_on", parser: parseSQLDate}]
};


And in your columnDefs:

dataSource.columnDefs = [
       {key: "created_on", label: "Created", editor: "date", formatter: formatDateInDataTable}
];


Lastly we set up an editor for cells:

dataTable.subscribe("cellClickEvent", dataTable.onEventShowCellEditor);


Using the mousewheel to zoom in or out an SVG document

This code was originally copied from Mouse wheel programming in JavaScript [adomas.org]. I replaced about 5 lines of code to get the mousewheel controlling the zoom feature in the makeZoom.svg [dzone.com] file.

  /** This is high-level function; REPLACE IT WITH YOUR CODE.
 * It must react to delta being more/less than zero.
 */
function zoomInOut(delta) {
	if (delta >= 0)
		zoomIn()
	else
		zoomOut()
}

function wheel(event){
	var delta = 0;
	if (!event) event = window.event;
	if (event.wheelDelta) {
		delta = event.wheelDelta/120; 
		if (window.opera) delta = -delta;
	} else if (event.detail) {
		delta = -event.detail/3;
	}
	if (delta)
		zoomInOut(delta);
        if (event.preventDefault)
                event.preventDefault();
        event.returnValue = false;
}

/* Initialization code. */
if (window.addEventListener)
	window.addEventListener('DOMMouseScroll', wheel, false);
window.onmousewheel = document.onmousewheel = wheel;

Reference of keyCodes

    switch (oEvent.keyCode) {
       case 38: //up arrow  
       case 40: //down arrow
       case 37: //left arrow
       case 39: //right arrow
       case 33: //page up  
       case 34: //page down  
       case 36: //home

       case 27: //esc  
       case 16: //shift  
       case 17: //ctrl  
       case 18: //alt  
       case 20: //caps lock
       case 8: //backspace  
       case 46: //delete
           return true;
           break;

       default: 

Note: When capturing combination keys there is dedicated boolean attributes for each of the special keys (CTRL, SHIFT, ALT).
