new Event()
constructor won't work. Events are now normalised automatically. just e.stop();
update
: does not work outside of Request.HTML
. http://mootools.net/docs/core/Request/Request.HTML - also this.send(URL);
- you are better off doing:
$('myform').addEvent('submit', function (e) {
e.stop();
var log = $('log');
new Request.HTML({
url: this.get('action'),
data: this,
update: log,
onRequest: function(){
log.addClass('ajax-loading').empty();
},
onComplete: function(){
log.removeClass('ajax-loading');
// can also do:
// log.set('html', this.response.text);
}
}).send();
});
currently jsfiddle is playing up but when it comes back: http://jsfiddle.net/mFRZP/
Element helpers are all fine and lovely for quick jobs but you really want control and clarity to know what you are doing.
No need to use Request.HTML when you can use Request.
