Anyone have an idea how I can shoehorn (or workaround) a submit_to_remote to accept html options so that I might put an image to it?

Janna,
image_submit_tag has a nasty effect of not applying rollover but I got
it to work by calling javascript directly:
<%= image_submit_tag(''/images/your_main_image.jpg'',
:title => "Search",
:class => "btnsearch",
:onmouseover =>
"this.src=''/images/your_rollover_image.jpg''",
:onmouseout =>
"this.src=''/images/your_main_image.jpg''") %>

Ok, but I cannot have a submit_to_remote with an image, right?

Fred,
I thnk you may be wrong on this (for once!) -or-, more likely, I cant
find the right hash key for the image (I''m unable to discern the
correct syntax).
For example, the following works, but, my problem is that it doesn''t
pick up the values of other controls on the form:
<%= link_to_remote image_tag("/images/icecube.gif"), {:url
=>{:action
=> ''freezer''}} %>
when I follow what (I think) you have suggested:
<%= submit_to_remote ''Freezer'',
''freezer'', {:url => { :action =>
''freezer'' }, :name =>
image_tag("/images/icecube.gif")} %>
doesn;t pick up the image. But The hash key may be something other
than ''name'' (I have tried, ''image,'' and
''img'' but I dont see how this
would map to the name parameter in link_to_remote) -Janna B

The JS helpers work great for the things they were designed to do. Many people prefer simply to use Prototype or jQuery without any Rails magic. It''s not much harder and you your own code almost always bends to your will. Just a thought.
I wanted to something similar and ended up monkey-patching JavaScriptHelper ... http://groups.google.ca/group/rubyonrails-talk/browse_thread/thread/244e24285d3d883d On Jul 9, 8:44 pm, JannaB <mistressja...-PkbjNfxxIARBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Anyone have an idea how I can shoehorn (or workaround) a > submit_to_remote to accept html options so that I might put an image > to it?
