Loading amber with AJAX - request review

Hi,

I managed to make Amber loading through AJAX - that means I have some browser jQuery code like:

$('#someId').load('server/get_amber');

and this AJAX request returns the well known:

The problems were:

- document.write cannot be used from AJAX (used in loadJS)

- using jQuery.getScript the order loading order is not guaranteed

So I've managed to make this work in all desktop browsers, I think some code cleaning still needed but tired so review appreciated. May be there's also some side effects I don't know

https://github.com/lolgzs/amber/commit/67c745fca7997d14582bbc68b077ddb638993a72

Cheers,

Laurent

Re: Loading amber with AJAX - request review

Nice!

In near future I'll give another chance to my 'amber-y-where'. A
chrome/ff userscript to load amber in every site, and allow us to do
scripting a-la greasemonkey, but using amber.

I succeeded including the script tags, but when amber loaded, the
whole DOM was screwed.

I'll be following this thread closely :).

Re: Loading amber with AJAX - request review

That is exactly what I am waiting for! Being able to script any webpage with Chrome & Amber will be fantastic.

Can you say more about exactly how messed up the DOM became? Do you have any clues about the problem?

Cheers

I have some changes that I still need to clean up - but if you look at:

http://amber.st

https://github.com/johnnyt/amber/tree/gh-pages

I added a class protocol named 'loading-storing' which includes

Package fetch: 'Examples'

which would load Examples.js from the server.

Also - Id' love any feedback / thoughts / comments / help on the http://amber.st site. I'll be putting some more time into it over the holidays.

Cheers -

Hi,

I also want this amber everywhere. Now that it can be load dynamically we're getting closer.

A way is to create a bookmark like this:

javascript:var%20s=document.createElement('script');s.src='<a href="http://localhost/amber/src/js/amber.js';document.body.appendChild(s);s=document.createElement('script');s.text='loadAmber({">http://localhost/amber/src/js/amber.js';document.body.appendChild(s);s=document.createElement('script');s.text='loadAmber({"home":"http://localhost/amber/src/"});';document.body.appendChild(s);void(0);

Amber is loading but then fail to start.

Sorry for being late to the "party" - how does amber.st relate to
amber-lang.net?
