I would like for several links (<a> tags w/ onclick events) to be
automatically clicked (to refresh data) after a secondary affecting
value has been changed. So I would like to do something like:
$$(''selectors'').each(click())
OR
$$(''selectors'').each().click()
But no matter how I rewrite it, it doesn''t seem to work. I''m
not
getting any javascript errors either, so I''m a little confused.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Sweet! Thanks! I just realized that my larger problem was that you can''t invoke click on <a> tags (unless I''m missing something). I changed those to buttons, and now it''s working like a champ! Thanks again! I''ll read that list. --Josh On Aug 17, 2007, at 2:31 AM, Jarkko Laine wrote:> On 17.8.2007, at 9.17, Josh Carroll wrote: > >> >> I would like for several links (<a> tags w/ onclick events) to be >> automatically clicked (to refresh data) after a secondary affecting >> value has been changed.

Josh,
Invoking click() on an element works for you?
I''m quite confused here, because there''s no such method in
prototype, afaik.
If we''re talking about creating custom event, then the proper way to do
this
(as of 1.6) is by callnig fire() on an element
$(''elementId'').fire(''click''); // simulates
click event on an element
$$(''a'').invoke(''fire'',
''click'') // simulates click event on all elements
these events should essentially trigger your observers (if any)

I was looking for something like that last night (same problem as the OP) and couldn''t find it. I arrived at the same solution, and it worked just fine. I see fire in the latest RC, but what about the current stable?

there''s no fire() prior to 1.6 everybody was using 3rd party extensions current RC is pretty stable... you should give it a spin -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/using-%24%24%28%29-each%28%29-and-click%28%29-together-tf4283891.html#a12205033 Sent from the RubyOnRails Spinoffs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Yes, using $$(''selectors'').invoke(''click'')
works in the latest
releases of Firefox and Safari for Mac anyway, as long as the targets
designated by $$(''selectors'') are buttons. I haven''t
tested in any
Windows browsers just yet.
I will try using
$$(''selectors'').invoke(''fire'',''click'')
if this gives
me any issues.
