This is a stupid question I know, but it is driving me crazy - I am missing something simple and basic here. I am trying to update missing zip codes on a data table. I am doing something incorrectly as the data in the Source table is not being updated, only the value in the array is changed. How do I get this to update the actual DB record instead? def add_missing_zips #find all records in

Hi- I am trying to find a way to diffuse GIS data on a European map. I have a dataset consisting of particular locations scattered across Europe, along with magnitude and value information.

I am attempting to use Ajax.Updater to update the innerHTML of a SELECT - that is, to feed it a list of <option>..</option> sets generated from a partial.

When I use the DOM viewer (or an alert()) to dump the value of innerHTML, it appears intact EXCEPT that the first <option> is missing with no

Quick question.

However, given that zip_codes.zip_code is itself a candidate key, I would much prefer to do the

This is a very simple example, but it illustrates a regular problem that I am running into.

i've search the email archives, searched the documention of various map packages and done an R-site search, but have been unable to find direct resources for creating maps of the US that are colored or annotated or ... by zipcode data.
