Rails - Apr 2009 - link_to_remote clicking a link should replace that link

Hi,

I haven''t touched Ruby for a while. How do you replace link_to_remote
text after  user clicks on them? Once a user clicks ''Delete this
post,''
I want the text gets replaced to ''pending request'' -- is there
any easy
way to do this?

<%= link_to_remote(''Delete this post'', :complete =>
''pending request'',
           :url => { :controller => "posts",
:action => "delete",:id => "delete_link" +
post_item.id.to_s,
:post_id => post_item.id})%>

You''ll need a smidgen of javascript for this. if blah where the dom id
of the link, $(''blah'').update ''pending
request'' might be enough or you
might want to actually replace the link rather than just change it''s
text. The prototype api ( http://prototypejs.org/api ) has details on
both (obviously if you''re using a different js library, read that
api).

Depending on your app you might want to do with when the request is
started rather than when the request completes; one of the other
options like :before might be appropriate.
