Granted, I''m still very much a newbie, but after reading an article on AJAX that basically states at one point that just because you can use AJAX doesn''t always mean you should, I have to ask: Why bother contacting the server (even if it is an insignificant amount of bandwidth) to validate the sanity of form data (unless you''re actually validating against something in

I made a pretty lengthy post on what I''m doing here: http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/89a2b8e54a874dd9 Short version: I have a radio_button group of two. If one is clicked another pair of radio buttons is added, if the other is clicked it is removed. observe_form does not work for elements added after initial page load. observe_field does not work

Hi, Is it normal that a call to $(''some_form'').submit() doesn''t result in the execution of an onsubmit event handler on ''some_form''? Thanks, - Rowan -- Morality is usually taught by the immoral. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

How would I set up a model stub so that <%= error_messages_for ''some_model'' %> doesn''t complain? I started going down this road: @some_model.stub! (:errors).and_return(ActiveRecord::Errors.new) but it seems like a long, hopefully uneccessary road. Cheers, Michael

Hi all, I just started using prototype 1.3.1. I''ve successfully used Form.Element.EventObserver on a select list and recently tried to add it to radio options. However, I think there is a flaw in how it works with radio options. Radio options are a little unusual in that there are multiple distinct elements, tied together by a common name, where changing one element causes a

I''ve noticed that using several TimedObservers (prototype.js) on a page to watch for changes to text fields (haven''t tried forms) can have a non-negligible effect on the CPU cycles used by the browser process. Nothing dramatic, to be sure, but unnecessary. Autocompleter.Base (controls.js) follows a smarter strategy to watch for changes. Currently this functionality is tied

I''m trying to use a different layout for just one action in my controller, all the other actions use the application.rhtml layout, so what i''m doing is ... class SomeController < ApplicationController layout "simple", :only=> :some_action ...... end and the "simple" layout is applied to all the actions, can someone please give me a hint?

I have this in my routes.rb: ... map.connect ":action/:id", :controller => "default_controller" .. It worked nicely, until I added a second controller to my project. The new (second) controller is "Admin". The problem is I cant reach the actions in the second controller. http://mysite.com/some_action is routed to some_action in default_controller. That is

Hello everyone, I have a page that populates/updates make, model and year select lists via Ajax.Updater and I think that an EventObserver is causing a conflict. Here''s what I''m trying to do. I''m using this page as a create and edit page for a car database. If I''m calling the page in edit mode, I''ll want the make, model and year set (using the

Hi, I''ve got some Ajax stuff that shows more or less of a complex form based on a radio button selection. A "radio_handler" controller action is the action for a form handler. Some seemingly simple "replace_html" fires as a result of different radio buttons being chosen (which should then show more or less of the form). This all works just great on Mac Safari and

I have been trying to pass a collection_select parameter and a text field parameter to observe_field so that it watches both the parameters simultaneously. but what i can see is , when i select some value from drop down and dont write anything in text field its giving correct results.parameters are also correct passed, but just after that if i write something in text field that value also get

First things first: Hi all! I''ve been sucked into prototype and script.aculo.us develpment thanks (because of?) the Symfony PHP framework... I''d like to implement a feature on some admin pages, but I can''t seem to find the right search term to google it; I want to ask the user to confirm exit of a page, if she has changed anything on the forms displayed on it. I have

Hi All, I want to refresh a partial onClick, onClick i am making ajax call and getting the data but i am unable to refresh the partial. here is the code IN views: home.html.erb $(document).ready(function() { var currentCellText; $(".inline").click(function() { currentCellText = $(this).text(); $.ajax({ type: ''GET'', dataType: "json",

I want to make use of a form_remote_tag to submit a form asynchronously. Easy done. However, we also want to add an observe_form tag to check for some value changes while the form is being entered. The observe_form tag needs a dom id to work on but I can''t see how to enter an html option for the dom id of the form on the form_remote_tag. Any ideas? Here is the form tag so far...

Right now I have a simple form hooked up. Now that the form is smooth and functional, I want to add a feature that I''m not sure how to implement. After a user modifies a form, I''d like to have a visual cue appear somewhere to show that the form has been changed and needs to be saved. It could be a red div at the top of the screen - anything - it is doesn''t matter. Just
