Rails spinoffs - Sep 2006 - Can't get Scriptaculous indicator to work!

I have a div for my indicator, but it isn''t working. Please help!!!

Here is the javascript:

new Ajax.Autocompleter("DCO_Number", "autosuggest",
"DCO_Manage_Project.cfc?method=getHTML",
{afterUpdateElement:getInfo,indicator:''JSMX_loading'',frequency:0.1});

Here is the CSS for the div (below).

div#JSMX_loading{
        position:static;
        top:0px;
        left:0px;
        margin:0px;
        padding:0px;
        width:112px;
        height:30px;
        display:none;
        background-color:#FF0000;
        background-image:url(../_images/processing.gif);
        background-repeat: no-repeat;
        z-index:200;
}

although, I override some of the styles as such:
style="position:absolute; left:743px; top:167px;"

Hey there,

mobrien118 a écrit :
> new Ajax.Autocompleter("DCO_Number", "autosuggest",
> "DCO_Manage_Project.cfc?method=getHTML",
>
{afterUpdateElement:getInfo,indicator:''JSMX_loading'',frequency:0.1});
First, you might want to be more consistent with this API, and provide
the "method=getHTML" part as the ''parameters'' key in
the options hash:

new Ajax.Autocompleter(''DCO_Number'',
''autosuggest'',
''DCO_Manage_Project.cfc'', {
    parameters: method=getHTML'',
    afterUpdateElement: getInfo,
    indicator: ''JSMX_loading'',
    frequency: 0.1
});

Second, and herein lies your problem:
> div#JSMX_loading{
...
>     display:none;
...
> }
Prototype mandates that items to be toggled *never* use display: none in
 a stylesheet.  It should appear in an inline style attribute for the
element, for reasons related to the behavior of the CSS cascade, in
order to be browser-portable.

Therefore, try to remove this property from your stylesheet, and create
an inline style attribute on the DIV with this single property (yes,
this is a minor infraction to the content/appearance separation
principle).  This should work.

''HTH

Thanks Christophe! That works great for the indicator!

About the parameters, I didn''t see that attribute documented, and I
also wasn''t sure it would work with CF (i''m using a remote
.cfc file to
handle this), but I just tried it and it works like a charm!

You are amazing! Fast response!

Thanks so much!

p.s. I am going to start a thread about another problem I am having in
a couple minutes, maybe you can help with that, if you have a sec

mobrien118,

Just as an aside, you might find one of my plugins useful for helping
with displaying indicators during remote calls...

Hope it helps if you check it out.
