#157752 by quicksketch: extend AHAH functionality to most types of form elements, without writing JavaScript. Also AHAH enable the blocks admin page.

#177906 by douggreen: JavaScript cookie detection should use path=/ to avoid broken situations when run at a 'subdirectory'

#118026 by kkaefer with fixes from myself: JavaScript translation support and script.js as a default theme JS file to use, if found

#127539: progressive operation support, refactoring update.php code to a generic batch API to support runnning operations in multiple HTTP requests
  - update.php is already on the batch API
  - node access rebuilding is in the works
  - automatic locale importing is in the works

 Thanks to Yves Chedemois (yched) for the good code quality, very wide awareness of issues related to batches,
 and the fantastic turnaround times. Hats off.

- #88642: Change drupal.js function separators to semi-colons.

1) There is a race condition created by calling send() before setting the callback function. Admittedly, this race shouldn't be lost, but it's not good practice to bet on winning races in code.

2) Line 55 is redundant. Since the value of bAsync is based on the non/existence of callbackFunction, there is no need to check both variables later.

- #31968: IE
- #41743: Safari

- Fix collapsible fieldsets (broken since to 'IE5 icons alignment' fix)
- Fix JS upload (broken due to mysterious form submission abortion bug)

Thanks Bèr for letting me use VNC :).

  Comment from Steven: It does this by redirecting the submission of the form to a hidden <iframe> when you click "Attach" (we cannot submit data through Ajax directly because you cannot read file contents from JS for security reasons).  Once the file is submitted, the upload-section of the form is updated.  Things to note:

    * The feature degrades back to the current behaviour without JS.
    * If there are errors with the uploaded file (disallowed type, too big, ...), they are displayed at the top of the file attachments fieldset.
    * Though the hidden-iframe method sounds dirty, it's quite compact and is 100% implemented in .js files. The drupal.js api makes it a snap to use.
    * I included some minor improvements to the Drupal JS API and code.
    * I added an API drupal_call_js() to bridge the PHP/JS gap: it takes a function name and arguments, and outputs a <script> tag. The kicker is that it preserves the structure and type of arguments, so e.g. PHP associative arrays end up as objects in JS.
    * I also included a progressbar widget that I wrote for drumm's ongoing update.php work. It includes Ajax status updating/monitoring, but it is only used as a pure throbber in this patch. But as the code was already written and is going to be used in the near future, I left that part in. It's pretty small ;). If PHP supports ad-hoc upload info in the future like Ruby on Rails, we can implement that in 5 minutes.

  NOTE: this patch works well, but the improved node edit form still has
        some rough edges.  It is important that we continue to improve
        usability.  Give it a try.

Return of the JavaScript!
