JD:
I setup a mailing list see: http://lists.bluga.net/mailman/listinfo/html_ajax-devel

We can discuss a solution for reserved words there.

hi josh

a mailing list might be helpful if you’d like to leverage other developers’ input/patches.

there are a couple minor issues I’d like to raise - for example, in my application, I’m exposing DB_DataObject classes with HTML_AJAX - one of the methods in the DB_DataObject base class is called ‘delete’, which is also a Javascript reserved word. I hacked a patch into an extended HTML_AJAX class but as I thought more about it - it might be useful to others to have the base class compare method names with a list of Javascript reserved words and throw an exception, or provide a facility for creating a function mapping - but of course I’m not going to make any changes to the base classes without approval from the leads for a patch..

Hi Josh, David

Do you have a mailing list created for HTML_AJAX? (aside from the pear lists)

Fantastic news on the license, and on the release. I look forward to giving it a try.

Josh,

Unless you use superglobals, which the script doesn’t check for. In which case its 4.1.0

The checking of PHP 4 stuff is pretty rock solid, taking all the data from the manual. Its the 5.x stuff that causes some problems.

Both those items are bugs, I just fixed them locally.

I’ll do a point release with those fixed this afternoon.

Are those “alert(’throwing the exception’);” messages really necessary? I get one in IE (not in FF) and when displaying the e.message too I get ’self.callback’ is empty or no object (translation from Dutch).

Well build.php doesn’t actually ship, and there is no instanceof, i belive that that the mbstring stuff is optional, so that should mean 4.0.6 is my real dep?
