A Sequence Diagram for Scriptaculous

This post was previously on the Pathfinder Software site. Pathfinder Software changed its name to Orthogonal in 2016. Read more.

In reverse engineering the Scriptaculous into GWTaculous, I’ve done a bit of spelunking and produced a few artifacts to explain Scriptaculous to myself. I thought I’d share one of them — a sequence diagram for Effects — in the hopes that someone else will find it useful. The diagram below isn’t complete — it doesn’t contain the event calls — and it doesn’t cover the Parallel effects, but it does give a decent overview for anyone trying to understand the Event lifecycle or someone trying to write their own effect.
