I have a link_to_remote that updates the content of a hidden div and makes it appear.. But I want it to hide the div and not execute the link_to_remote function on the second click. What''s the best way to do this? I''m thinking I can do it in RJS maybe, but I''m not sure if there''s a nice Rails-y way to tell if a div is hidden or not.. I''d also need to conditionally do the :loading and :success effects (show/hide spinner) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Use the prototype function Element.toggle for toggeling an element on and off.

I think with a link_to_remote, it will call the action regardless. I think you would need to handle the login in the controller or RJS template.

It also doesn''t stop the spinner from firing even on hide, which is annoying. I could in theory do the same if(Element.getStyle()) inside the :loading => '''' block.. but.. gross.. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I assume this is very common for users toggling detail information for list where they want to load the data on the first click, but just remove it on the second and so on.

But you only display one link at any one time, so if they''re in the same place it just looks like one link that''s changing from "Show" to "Hide" or whatever. So when you click on the "Show" link, as well as loading and displaying the new content, it hides itself and displays the second link. And when you click on the "Hide" link that''s just been revealed, as well as hiding the new content, it also hides itself and re-displays the first link. The way I look at it is that you''ve got two fundamentally different actions going on, so you might as well use two different links.

I''d do it like so:
<%=link_to_function "Link",
"if(Element.visible(''divid'')) {
Element.hide(''divid'')
} else {
" + remote_function(:url=>{:action=>"blah"},
:loading=>whatever) + "}" %>
and you could write a helper function that would take the arguments
name, element id and options and output the above too.
