So I have been at this all day. I am trying to trigger an Ajax request and
subsequent dialog popup in response to a change in a Select box. Heres what Ive
got:
<%= select_tag :player, options_for_select(...),
:onchange => "Ajax.Request(this.getValue(),
{ onSuccess: \"new Dialog().showMessage(''Dialog'',
''Ok''); return false;\"
});" %>
(the values of the select items are URLs)
The logs show the query runs and returns successfully, but I cannot get anything
to happen beyond that. There is nothing in the JS error console.
Can anyone see whats wrong with the above?
Alan.

It''s supposed to be FBJS ... alert doesn''t work in FBJS (AFAIK) so I see people recommending dialogs as a replacement. Alan. Bosco So wrote:> Is the following line supposed to be JavaScript?

You don''t seem to be using the FBJS ajax calls, is that intentional? http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FBJS#AJAX Lee. 2009/1/6 Alan Larkin <alan.larkin at gmail.com>:> So I have been at this all day.

Im thinking that this might be less wrong.
<fb:js-string var="successCallback">
new Dialog().showMessage(''Dialog'', ''Ok'');
return false;
</fb:js-string>
<%= select_tag :player, options_for_select(...),
:onchange => "Ajax.Request(this.getValue(), { onSuccess:
successCallback
});" %>
because I dont think the variables and functions in my original onSuccess code
were being subjected to FBJS renaming. I am _guessing_ that using fb:js-string
to prepare the code takes care of this, but there is still nothing happening in
response to a successful Ajax request.

Emmm ... Im using the stuff in facebooker.js (http://github.com/mmangino/facebooker/tree/master/generators/facebook/templates/public/javascripts/facebooker.js) which uses the FBJS stuff ... just because its there, and it shields me a bit from the javascript, which is not my strong suit.

Sigh ... facebooker.js#Ajax.Updater expects a function for onSuccess, not a
String ...
<%= select_tag :player, options_for_select(...),
:onchange => "Ajax.Request(this.getValue(), { onSuccess:
function(data) {
new Dialog().showMessage(''Dialog'', ''Hello
World.'');
return false;
}});" %>
does it XO
