Rails - Feb 2006 - RJS

I am playing with the new .rjs stuff in edge rails.
I am doing stuff like :
page.replace_html ''scoops_tot'', @scoops.size

1. I want to add my own javascript functions to the page object.
Is it possible and how ?


2. I am trying to update several fields, but i would like a to have a 
dekay between the updates :
@anoclicks.each{|aclick|
  page.replace_html ''click_number_''+aclick.scoop.id.to_s , 
aclick.scoop.clicks_tot.to_i + aclick.scoop.anoclicks_tot.to_i
  page.visual_effect :Pulsate, "click_me_#{aclick.scoop.id}"
}

Reading through the file*, I see this method which may be what you want:
   # Writes raw JavaScript to the page.
   def <<(javascript)
     @lines << javascript
   end

You want something like this (from the book):

page.delay(3) do
   page.alert @rails_version
end

which I''m sure you can adapt for your purposes.

Thank you for your answer
I have the book in front of me (the pdf of course)
I did not see this << method, but just found it in the last version of 
the doc ! Great !

For the delay, i cannot get it working more than once.
I want to execute an effect for each item in an array and each time 
apply the same delay... I am going to play with that << thing.

Thanks a lot :)

I haven''t tried it, but it may be possible to nest delay blocks.

page.delay(3) do
  page.do_something
  page.delay(3) do
    page.do_something_again
  end
end

I found a solution that is working great :

i = 0
@hp.each{ |hp|
  page.delay(i) do
    page.visual_effect :Fade, ''scoop_''+hp.id.to_s
    i+=1
  end
}

Thx for your help

More ruby-like:

@hp.each_with_index do |hp, index|
    page.delay(index) do
        page.visual_effect :Fade, "scoop_#{ hp.id }"
    end
  end
