Rails spinoffs - Sep 2005 - FW: externalControl for in-place editing Browser in-compatibility

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Anyone have any ideas on this one, it appears that that $() is not working
to get object by id in Mozilla based browsers.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I am a n00b to javascript.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Can someone please confirm
this.

Subject: externalControl for in-place editing Browser in-compatibility

I am not sure if this is a bug or my syntax is wrong but when specifying an
external control for the inplace editor, this works fine in IE but not in
firefox or netscape. The error that returns in the javascript console on
mozilla based browsers is edit_50 is not defined.


<script language="JavaScript"> new
Ajax.InPlaceEditor(''cmt_50'',
''mypage.php'', {rows:8,cols:40,externalControl:edit_50});
</script>


If someone knows how to correct this issue please let me know I really need
to get this done and cannot wait for the final release.

Btw I am using 1.5 pre3

It seems you''re not quoting the element id name (it''s supposed
to be a string).

Replace this:
> <script language="JavaScript"> new
Ajax.InPlaceEditor(''cmt_50'',
> ''mypage.php'', {rows:8,cols:40,externalControl:edit_50});
</script>
With this:
> <script language="JavaScript"> new
Ajax.InPlaceEditor(''cmt_50'',
> ''mypage.php'',
{rows:8,cols:40,externalControl:''edit_50''}); </script>
or this:
> <script language="JavaScript"> new
Ajax.InPlaceEditor(''cmt_50'',
> ''mypage.php'',
{rows:8,cols:40,externalControl:$(''edit_50'')});
</script>
Note the quotes around edit_50, they can be single or double quotes,
doesn''t matter.

Hope this helps.
