DESCRIPTION

GvaScript (pronounce "gee-vascript") is a javascript framework born in Geneva, Switzerland (GVA is the IATA code for Geneva Cointrin International Airport). It is built on top of the prototype object-oriented javascript framework (http://prototype.conio.net).

It contains three core components :

  • protoExtensions : some extensions to the prototype javascript framework (mainly walking the DOM searching for collections of classnames).

  • event : registering and firing application-specific events (in addition to the standard W3C event model)

  • keyMap : managing maps of handlers for key events (similar in spirit to Emacs keymaps)

and three widgets:

  • choiceList : dropdown list of choices with navigation

  • autoCompleter : autocompletion on form input fields

  • treeNavigator : navigation in a tree structure, opening and closing nodes

TARGETED PLATFORMS

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, version 6.0 and higher

  • Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and higher

  • may work on other platforms supported by prototype.js, but was not tested
