Rails - Nov 2005 - ajax problem

Hi All,

I have an element in a table, and on a callback after an AJAX call I''d 
like to change the font-style of the text in the element.

I currently have

Calling view
 <div id=''<%= position.id %>''>
  <tr>
    <td align="left" valign="top"><%= link_to
position.job_title,
:action => ''show'', :id => position %></td>
    <td align="left" valign="top"><%=
position.salary %></td>
    <td align="left" valign="top"><%=
position.location %></td>
    <td align="left">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="left" rowspan="5"
colspan="3"><%= position.description
%></td>
    <tr><td><%= link_to ''Edit'', :action =>
''edit'', :id => position
%></td></tr>
    <tr><td><%= link_to ''Destroy'', { :action
=> ''destroy'', :id =>
position }, :confirm => ''Are you sure?''
%></td></tr>
    <tr><td><%= link_to_remote(''close'',
                :update => "#{position.id}",
                 :url => { :action => :close, :id => position },
                :confirm => ''Are you sure you wish to close this
position?'',
                :complete => <do something?>
%></td></tr>
    <tr><td><%= link_to ''apply'', { :action
=> ''apply'', :id => position
}, :confirm => ''Are you sure you wish to apply for this
position?''
%></td></tr>
  </tr>
 </div>
Controller

  def close
    position = Position.find(params[:id])
    position.close
    if position.save
      render(:layout => false)
    end
  end

returned view

<%= update_element_function(
  ''1'', :action => :update, <something?>
) %>

I''ve been trying to track this down for a while now and I
can''t find an
example of anything similar.  Does anyone have an example of something 
that manipulates the original text of the div?  Most examples of 
link_to_remote seem to add text, I haven''t seen anything that alters
the
text style

Kev

You don''t want the :update => ''element_id''
parameter in that case (as
you''re not going to update the contents of the element).

You want

	:complete => "$(''#{position.id}").style.textDecoration =
''line-
through''"

without the :update stuff. (note this is from memory, untested!).

Cheers,
Thomas
