Hello All, I have just joined rails-spinoffs mailing lists and I would like to introduce myself. My name is Casey and I am a professional Web and J2EE developer currently working out of New York. I am very interested in contributing to the Scriptaculous javascript library. For the past few months I have been using certain functions in the library and I have to say that it has taken my

Hi everyone, I need to trigger a Rails action after the autocompletion is completed (when the user has selected an option). From the scriptaculous doc, I figured out ''afterUpdateElement'' is the place to be but I wonder if/how and where I can hook my javascript code to this event in Rails code (I''d like to keep using the helper, if possible)? I tried passing many

I had to make a sort of slideshow for a site I''m working on, and I was thinking of making it into a Scriptaculous object. Anyone think of reasons why I shouldn''t? You''d have to pass in all the image urls and a div id, with an optional delay parameter to determine how long to leave each image up before moving on. I could also have a ''randomize''

I''m running into the need (on at least one project now) to implement end-user-customizable "metadata" or properties on model objects. The standard example would be a Person class that had first_name, last_name, etc. but would need to be extended real-time (through the web admin interface) with properties such as phone_number : varchar (30). I''ve done some basic

I really like how Active Record logs the SQL that is executed inside of rails. Is there a way to get the SQL output when using Active Record outside of rails?

1. Create a separate class that has your highlight/unhighlight behavior in it, and extend just the element you want to highlight with that class... like this (also allows you to easily apply this behavior elsewhere when you need it in the future): Object.extend(this.el, HighlightBehaviorClass.prototype) 2. When defining your event handlers, assign them to variables so you have a

Hi all, I understand how rails is supposed to work when dealing with one entity input form. However, when I have a relation between two objects (composition): Customer(1) --------> (1)Address How can you create a inputform where both the properties of a Customer and Address can be filled in?

Hi, I''m newbie to rails, so please be gentle with me. I got one of the new powerbooks that apple just released last month (october 2005). I installed rails using RubyGems and also the installer for mac osx found here http://www.tonyarnold.com/articles/2005/08/10/rolling-with-ruby-on-rails-on-mac-os-x-tiger-for-beginners everything seems to update and install fine. But when I type

Hi All: I''m writing my 1st Rails app and I can''t seem to find the answer on the web or in the book. I''m making a table, and I want to be able to expand a filename. The code is basically as as follows below. In the last <td> entry, I want to call an action and pass in the test_results_path, which I will go and read a file and munge the data for a separate

Is there a prototype / extension which will assist in cross-browser support of PNG images? http://www.alistapart.com/articles/pngopacity/ It seems to me that a class could be developed which would zip through the DOM and make changes where needed for IE 5.5 / IE 6.0 to handle PNG images. I don''t want to write one if it''s been done before. Sam

Hi All, In scriptaculous scripts, I don''t understand this syntaxe : $(element) --8<--------------------------------- Effect.Highlight = Class.create(); Object.extend(Object.extend(Effect.Highlight.prototype, Effect.Base.prototype), { initialize: function(element) { this.element = $(element); ... --8<--------------------------------- I had never seen this syntaxe, I

Hi: I had some issues and so switched to locomotive. I find it awesome. 1 click and its done. My question - what disadvantages are there, if any? What do I lose by using such a convenient solution. speculation as well as facts are welcome but please define which you are putting forwards. Thanks in advance, bruce

Example: if a ''foo'' has 3 ''bars'', bars_count == "0" # ERROR bars.count == 3 # OK It looks like a bug to me. Alain -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I know this doesn''t necessarily fall under AJAX, but does anyone have any plans of donating a RTE (Rich Text Editor) plugin to scriptaculous?

Hello Rails Community, I put this request out to the community a few weeks ago and got one reply and he ended up being too busy to do it. So, let me try again. I have a need to generate a shipping order from an application that is rails driven. All the data for the shipping order is contained within two tables. I feel like it it too cumbersome to map out all the coordinates for the

(This is a beginners'' question) I can''t seem to find this in the wiki or in the list archives. Button says "subscribe". User clicks. Button says "loading". Then button says "unsubscribe".

There must be a better way to write this code: @project_pages, @projects= paginate :project, :per_page => 10, :conditions => ["account_id = ?", account] ?! If only I could pass the sub-collection account = ... @projects = account.project to paginate, instead of letting it extract it with a find :all + sql conditions Alain. -- Posted via

I''m just picking up rails...I''ve got a few questions. First, I''d like to get some input and parrot it back. I''m trying the following in my .rhtml file but it isn''t working. What am I missing here? <html> <head> <title>Search</title> </head> <body> <h1>Search for Filings</h1> <p> Use this page to

Does anyone know if IE has a limit to how many object document.getElementsByTag can return? The main problem is that getElementsByClassName is not working on my page with IE but it works with Firefox. I''ve traced it back to the document.body.getElementsByTag(''*'') command. While inspecting the length Firefox returns 465. In IE the length alert returns [object]. When I
