• Added tapestry wrapper around dojo Dialog widget. Also enabled hiding dialog on server via hide() function. (JK)
• tacos.js processAjaxResponse was incorrectly getting the contents node on certain repsonses..Fixed logic to loop over child nodes and find the correct node with a matching attribute. (JK)

• Started adding in FisheyeList dojo widget. (JK)
• Started adding drag and drop functionality via dojo. (JK)
• Autocompleter component was incorrectly getting a NullWriter during list render because it wasn't using clientId to get the writer from AjaxEngine. Component now checks for writer with clientId as well. (JK) Thanks to Scott Russell.
• Changed all ResponseBuilder implementations to check IFormComponent clientId values for response writer matches. (JK) Thanks to Scott Russell.
• Added openIcon/closeIcon parameters to Tree so that default icons can be overridden if desired. (JK) Thanks to Paolo Dono.
• Finished most of the drag and drop functionality as well as demo. (JK)
• Added encoding parameter to all dojo io requests to help i18n of encoding of form values. (JK) Thanks to Felix Sun.
• Modified InlineEditBox to correctly only update the inlineeditbox widgets value when it is refreshed. (JK) Thanks to Markus Joshko.
• Took out unneccesary dojo.require() calls so that __package_.js includes don't appear everywhere. (JK) Thanks to Markus Joshko.
• Added acceptsTagType parameter to DropTarget component. (JK)
• Updated script.aculo.us to 1.5_rc4 (as well as prototype dependency). (JK)
• Added check for ajax request/triggered render to Autocompleter so that unneccesary scripts aren't written to response. Submitted patch to tapestry to enable doing this for all components in a much more transparent way. (JK) Thanks to Scott Russell.

• Autocompleter input field wasn't validatable. Updated to correctly use clientId and all other tapestry-ish logic. (JK)
• Added InlineEditBox component using dojo, of course..;) (JK) Thanks to Markus Joshko.
• Implemented back/forward semantics of form submissions using dojos bind protocl. Hitting back and forward on web-browser should work with ajax forms, as long as parameters for this actions are bound on the AjaxForm component. (JK)
• Tree component was incorrectly assuming ajax requests were always valid. Changed to check validity before accessing methods requiring a valid ajax request. (JK)
• Added targetLink parameter to tacos.defaultLinkAction so that links clicked on in ajax requests will have their cursors turned on as well as the rest of the document. (JK)
• Changed Autocompleter to use getClientId() instead of name so no more form name collisions. (JK) Thanks to Scott Russel.
• Re-factored tacos.js methods to use js structure for method arguments. (JK)
• Added submitElement to tacos form submit block so that people can set onClick values for submit buttons and have tapestry correctly process whatever action/listener they may have specified on the submit button. (JK) Thanks to Felix Sun.
• Moved all but dojo javascript package files to core tacos js includes so that tacos installation is a little bit easier. All that is required now is to download dojo. (JK)
• Added statusElement parameter to AjaxDirectLink/AjaxForm which allows the contents of a status block to be updated from a response. Similar to what happens when you send an email with gmail. (JK)
• AjaxDirectService now places AjaxWebRequest into the IRequestCycle if it is a valid request using AjaxWebRequest.AJAX_REQUEST as the attribute name. Getting access to these services is now a little bit less cumbersome. (JK)

• Added in the very nice looking fvlogger javascript logging toolkit mentioned here . It is a visual component rendered on the page. Makes things easier. (JK)
• Using dojo added a demo page of their dialog component. Just like how flickr pops open little dialogs/areas. What it pops open can be anything inside an element, but seems to be most useful when the item being popped is a form. Dojo is awesome. (JK)
• Stage 1 of dojo re-factorings. AjaxDirectLink is now using a new calling mechanism for dojo IO calls. (JK)
• Page exception logic is now handled differently. Instead of checking headers for a content-type of text/html to determine page re-directs or tapestry exception pages am now simply checking for ajax-response xml element nodes, if none exist but there is content to be rendered it replaces all current document nodes with the returned value of responseText (JK)
• Added DojoResponseBuilder, as well as a PartialForBean component that is a copy of tapestrys For component, with additional ajax rendering logic. Component will smartly only render nodes that are required for a particular type of response. Demo page is much much faster now. (JK)
• Added processScripts parameter to url invoking the AjaxEngineService, which prevents any javascript normalization (xml compliance) logic on the server end, which has sped up performance quite a bit on non-javascript return calls. (JK)
• Changed type of collection in AjaxWebResponseImpl from a simple list to a SortedSet (via TreeSet) so that containsComponentId(String id) method calls perform a little better. (JK)
• For now, took out annoying failed method calls on enhancement workers. Still no resolution on actually preventing the exception at all. How do check if an abstract method is implemented by the class I'm enhancing??.. (JK)
• Added highlight parameter to AjaxDirectLink, enabling dynamic component highlight effects without requiring extra javascript to be written. (JK)
• Added fadeShow parameter to AjaxDirectLink. (JK)
• Added highlight/updateObject/fadeShow parameters to AjaxForm. (JK) Thanks to Markus Joshko.
• Eliminated most of the hand-written javascript in demos by adding more core logic to tacos library. Also eliminated most dependencies on prototype/rico through the use of dojo. (JK)
• Change documentation for tree/IContentProvider interface to require a List and not a Set. Sets being unordered will cause random ordering results on partial refreshes which will cause inconsistent state problems with the tree render. (JK)
• Finished re-writing core tacos js logic, now uses dojo entirely for all requests by default. Have also made changing/overriding most stages of the request cycle fairly easy to implement, either through updateObjects , or by subclassing the main tacos methods. (JK)
• Re-wrote Tree logic relying on PartialForeach to use the new PartialFor component instead. As a result, removed old Part/PartialForeach/PartialLink components in favor of newer model. (JK)
• Fixed Autocompleter component so that it behaves correctly in forms. Component now renders it's own input field and builds the div blocks on the fly via javascript. (JK) Thanks to Scott Russel.
• Fixed IE glitches occurring with form js include package loading logic. (JK)
• Added jsincludes logic to ajax response, allowing arbitrary js packages to be loaded from within ajax requests. Form.js now no longer needs to be included in anyones application. (JK) Thanks to Juan M. Sanmarco.
• Added new DatePicker component using dojo library. (JK) Thanks to Juan M. Sanmarco.

• Convert Tacos documentation over to a more comprehensive framework, using forrest. (JK)
• Add support for tapestry .script javascript inclusion in ajax responses. All scripts written to the PageRenderSupport object are now captured and written to a special "scriptblock" div element on html pages. (JK)
• Added more client side control over the request/response cycle of ajax logic by providing optional object methods that are called before sending and ajax request, and after sending an ajax request. (JK) Thanks to Markus Joshko.
• Created the start of a more flexible error handling infrastructure in relation to ajax requests. Now almost all scenerios are accounted for. The default display of an error is still the normal Tapestry exception page. (JK) Thanks to Markus Joshko.
• Added SiteMap component, mainly to help clean-up the demo. Thanks gabe :) (He also likes to write mac screensavers ). (JK) Thanks to Gabriel Handford.
• The current regexp pattern being used on the server will cause StackOverflow exceptions to be generated if the javascript blocks are over a certain size. This is due to the fact that most threads have a default stack size of about 350k, which apparently isn't enough in this instance. Adding a -Xss1m parameter to the server jvm fixes the problem, but smells like bad design. Regexp pattern is much more performant now. (JK)
• Scriptblock responses were previously being ignored if they didn't already exist on the html page, added prototype call that inserts the scriptblock element at the end of the body if it doesn't exist. (JK)
• AjaxForm client side validation handler was incorrectly using field.name to identify fields, it now uses field.id which is unique per field. (JK)
• DirtyFormWarning component script was broken due to new tapestry form naming conventions. Re-factored script to use prototype to access form and it's values. (JK)
• Fixed node selection css attribute on FileTreeDemo so that previous nodes that were selected are refreshed in addition to the currently selected node so that the css class is properly changed. (JK)
• Added SiteMap component to demo so that the navigation area is less unruly. Also added some pages describing these new navigational groupings. (JK)
• Tree component wasn't properly refreshing old nodes during ajax requests. Added logic into demo and tree to handle refreshing old nodes as well as new ones. (JK)
• Made tree component use new Ajax library calls. Part and PartialLink should be almost completely deprecated now. (JK)
• Fixed writer end tag bug in tree partial logic that would improperly call writer.end() on a node tag that had never been started. (JK)
• Updated UI of tree demo to include scrollable area, highlighting nodes with mouse cursor as well as using new effects to properly scroll the scrollable area to the node recently refreshed. (JK)
• Tree wasn't properly closing previous node tags during partial renders, added fix for this into tree component. (JK)
• Tapestry begin and end comment tags for javascript blocks were causing js errors in internet explorer. Added logic to parse these fields out. (JK)
• SimpleTree look and feel was broken because of PartialTree css enhancements. (JK)
• Updated documentation of use of partialBlockClass in tree component. (JK)
• Allowed for processScripts parameter in AjaxForm so script processing via client libraries can be enabled/disabled for ajax requests. (JK)
• Merged prototype-ajax branch back into cvs head. (JK)
• Changed interface for IContentProvider to require a List instead of Collection. (Caused problems with sorting when people returned sets). (JK)
• Added direct parameter to Autocompleter component and made default value false. (JK)
