Hey guys, i''ve the following question: how can i parse the value of a selectbox within a div-tag (with the id "ma") via AJAX and use the parsed value for reading out some data from my database. the parsing request should be started by selecting another selectbox. My mainquestion is: how can i parse a selectbox (if possible with rjs) an get the value in ruby (not just in javascript) for further actions (like reading out some data from database)? thank you for your response!

At that point, it will be a normal Rails request, and you''ll have the values. Your server will respond with the result. There are helpers (or used to be in Rails 2) to generate this JavaScript for you, but it''s important to understand that you can''t (from Ruby, in Rails) ask the browser anything. You have to be waiting for it to ask things of you. The Prototype-flavored JavaScript to do this would be something like this: $(''mySelectBoxId'').observe(''change'',function(evt){ new Ajax.Request(''your/server/endpoint'',{ parameters:{mySelectBox:this.getValue()}, onSuccess:function(transport){ //do something with transport.responseText }, onFailure: function(transport){ //sad face } }); }); You can probably get similar code injected into your page for you by one of the Rails helpers, but that''s the basic mode by which it will work.

Thanks for the fast request. Do you also know how it''s possible to read all values of different selectboxes in different div-tags (but all with the same name "algo") with prototype: Is there a way to loop over all those div-tags and read the value of the selectbox in each div-tag? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi All, Apologies if this is verging on O/T for the list, but I do see some job ads and I''ve been trying to contribute substantively to the list for the last couple of months. I''m in the horrible position of having too much work, but some of it isn''t that profitable so I can''t go to my regular guys who are $100+/hr. Simple content management systems, etc. All in Rails 3.0.x with Ruby Enterprise 1.8.7 being deployed on Heroku using SendGrid, etc. I need someone to create a good first cut of sites. They need to use rvm, use git and create meaningful commit messages every 15 mins to 2 hours as they complete discrete chunks of work, name their fields and classes intelligently, keep method sizes low (most 6-8 lines, all under 20 or so). They need to know Devise for authentication, Cancan for authorization, Paperclip (with S3) for file uploads on Heroku and be equally comfortable with haml and erb. They also need to naturally write at least some acceptance tests first using cucumber and capybara, and write some rspec tests for any areas of business complexity. I''m not looking for high levels of coverage in rcov, but a decent effort to have some degree of smoke testing of the app which we can upgrade over time. Some of the apps may need a little jQuery loving, but nothing too complex. I have a specific project now, and then 2-3 a month coming down the line. Anyone who feels they meet the criteria and would like to build a relationship, please drop me a line off-list (peter-AS9tOuWgs4cAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org) with some information about yourself and your rates. To give you an idea, depending on your productivity this is the kind of work that would make sense at maybe $20-25/hr assuming you can knock out sites pretty quickly, so it''s either offshore or "beer money" work. Eventually I''d want to just pay hourly so we''re both focused on doing things both well and quickly, although I might give some specific well specified stories for a fixed bid to try things out on the first project. And now back to our regularly scheduled tech conversations - apologies for the interruption.

If you have multiple elements on your page that have the literal value name="algo" then the last one will "win" and only that one value will be submitted to the server by the browser. If they are actually name="algo[]", then you will receive an array of values for algo and you can iterate over them on the server with each(). In Prototype, you can get all of the values for the current form in one serialized string like this (inside your Ajax Request): ... parameters: this.up(''form'').serialize(), ... Then your controller method can pick out the ones you want with :params[:algo] or something like that.

Hey guys, I tried the following (in a RJS-Template), but it doesn''t work: page[:ma].select(''select#makro_ma_attributes__algorithm_id'').each do |sa| puts sa.getValue end => i want to loop over all selectboxes and read out the value with RJS => "ma" is a div tag which contains many other div tags => every div tag in "ma" contains one selectbox => every selectbox contains the id "makro_ma_attributes__algorithm_id" -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Run the page through the w3c html validator and make sure the html is valid before trying to get the script to run. Then run it in firefox with the firebug addon to see if the script generates errors. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
