Client-Side Unobtrusive Javascript

As I keep trying to dig into Rails 3, I keep running into things that make me learn more than I want to -see "My brain is full!"

Javascript is another one of those languages that I have used a lot, but only understand the basics. Rails 3 implements Unobtrusive Javascript (UJS) using either Prototype or JQuery. I have done quit a bit with Prototype and when I ported a Rails 2 application to Rails 3, a validation.js library I was using stopped working. I think because of a Prototype version upgrade that broke the library. This was one of those generic validation libraries that checked: empty, email, number, etc. The only thing I used was empty - and then I had to modify it to take care of radio and checkbox inputs in a sane manner.

Anyhow I decided to roll my own. My first attempt was to steal parts of rails.js and write kludges to suit my needs. It worked, but I was not sure I liked it (or understood)

#	This is yet another attempt at doing the elusive combo box.
#	Since I moved to jquery,I wanted to see if there was something out there
#	that was better then what I found a few years ago. There was
#	a jquery plugin, but I am not sure how it worked - didn't see where you could enter text!
#	You should be able to either select from a pulldown list, or add an item that is not in the list. 

# 	This in a nutshell overlays a 13em input text field over a 15em select tag. (css)
#	There is a helper method build_combo_box where you send the form_builder object, the method,
#	the choices and the current value. It builds the combo box.

  serialize library
  
  Serialize is beta library that seriailizes deeply nested collection into a blob.
  My need is that these collections never moved from a prototype implmentation in collections
  versues a table approach. The system is still in use, with hopes of moving off of 4D, but not yet!
  
  The current solution is to convert the collection to an objectTools object.  While it works, it is a little.
  slow, probably because as my parser. The xml is also bumping up against the 4.5 32k text limit.

A spreadsheet like controller for a table with two controllers with shared targets

Since I didn't get any opinions on last post https://discourse.stimulusjs.org/t/one-controller-and-multiple-repeating-target-or-multiple-controller-for-each-area/1087 (Is anyone using this site? Is Stimulus.js still alive?) I decided to try another approach.

Since most of my work is using `accounting like` applications, I have a lot of tables (ledgers etc). One of the applications I'm rewriting deals with keeping scores for a golf groups. You can look at a golf score card in visualize a spreadsheet. You put your scores down for each hole, sum the front and back and come up with a total score. We play teams so there are three or four players on the card, and there our four or so teams. Each team turns in their card with scores (front, back and total) and someone wins.

The scores are then entered into a Rails application and new quotas or a handicap is computed. That's the simplified version of ptgolf.us. The rewrite is de-jq
