Rails - Feb 2009 - jQuery's fancyZoom and delayedObserver conflict.

Hello list,

I know this is more client-side stuff since I''m using Rails js helpers,
I
thought I would be posting here. http://pastie.org/379754 -- the
delayedObserver simply doesn''t work when fancyZoom is activated (it
simply
fails silently). If I remove the fancyZoom related code, it works ok.
Here''s
a sample code: http://pastie.org/379754. Does anyone know why?

Thanks,

Marcelo.

Ok, here''s why:

fancyZoom hides the target div, and its show() method then creates a
duplicate of this DOM subtree. The problem is that it keeps the same ids,
and we all know we can''t have elements with the same ID -- thus, $()
and
getElementById fail. The solution was to be more specific and select like
this: $(''#zoom-content #id''), where #zoom-content is the name
of the
duplicated div that fancyZoom creates, which is different from the hidden
div.
