Hello,
I have just subscribed to the list. I am having problems with the
Ajax.InPlaceEditor. I am getting different results when I use Firefox
and IE.
The problem is: On IE, when I click submit in the InPlaceEditor form,
the form posts to itself (my InPlaceEditor code is on /test/index.html,
and the form posts to /test/index.html) and passes a paramater of
''value'' which contains the correctly edited text from the
form......
Yet: On Firefox, when I do the exact same thing the form posts to the
correct URL that I specify in the code, yet it does NOT pass the
paramater of ''value'' nor its value... In fact it passes NO
paramaters to
the URL I specify, it just hits the URL....
So... On IE I get the value, but its not posted to the URL I
specify(/secure/updateContent.cgi?....)
And... On Firefox it posts to the correct URL, but I dont get the value....
Heres my code:
<span id="edit $title" style="text-decoration:
none;background-color:#36475E;">$title</span>
<a id="edit $title control" href="#''
onClick="return false;"
style="color:orange;">Edit</a>
<script
language="JavaScript">
new Ajax.InPlaceEditor("edit $title",
"/secure/updateContent.cgi?edittitle=$esctitle",
{externalControl:"edit
$title control"});
</script>
I have this code wrapped up in a loop inside a perl module... As you can
see I have played around with passing variables directly thru the URL...
But unfortunatly the content which I pass thru this way is the UNedited
content, not the EDITED content which the form should be posting....
I hope this all makes sense... Hopefully I am just overlooking something
or not properly using the InPlaceEditor function... I also looked around
in the list archive but could not find an answer to my problem... If
anyone needs more information, clarification, explanation, etc. please
dont hesitate to let me know!!!
Thanks,
Erik

You are right! There is a bug in both IE and Safari (works only on Firefox) which makes the form post and refresh the entire page. I''m not sure how to fix it though, so all you clever JavaScript gurus out there should have a go at it. I''m returning ''false'' from the onsubmit handler function which seems to work in Firefox but IE and Safari ignores it. Could it be a case of just doing ''event.stop();''?

Hmmm I think it might have something to do with your cgi, I have done this in php and it works in firefox and IE both. -----Original Message----- From: rails-spinoffs-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org [mailto:rails-spinoffs-bounces@lists.rubyonrails.org] On Behalf Of Jon Tirsen Sent: Saturday, September 03, 2005 8:16 PM To: rails-spinoffs@lists.rubyonrails.org Subject: Re: [Rails-spinoffs] Ajax.InPlaceEditor You are right!
