I have a table that I automatically generate on the fly from all the
Positions in teh database, I want the user to be able to click on a
close link next to a position and for the list to be automatically updated.
I currently have
<tr><td><%= link_to_remote(''Close'',
:update => ''position'',
:url => { :action => :close, :id => position,
:closing_date => Date.new } ) %></td></tr>
and in my positions_controller
def close
#@position = Position.find(params[:id])
#@position.closing_date = params[:closing_date]
#if @position.save
render(:layout => false)
#end
end
So all I''m trying to do is update the view right now
And it doesn''t work.
As there are no form elements (buttons, input etc), I''m fairly sure
that
I shouldn''t be using the form_remote tag, but how do I get this to
work?
Looking through the Agile book I can''t see what I''m doing
wrong,
Kev
What''s the element referenced by id="position" ? If you''re on IE and the element is part of a HTML table, you might be in trouble. What Rails version are you on? And what Prototype version (see beginning of public/javascripts/protoype.js)? Btw, Rails 0.14.x should work fine with IE table elements.

Basically I want to affect the style of the text (strike-through) when clicking a link_to_remote, but during debugging I''ve just switched to using highlight so that I can see if anything is working. I''ve posted more code and explanation under a different topic (ajax problem) Thanks for the reply Kev
I''m getting a strange behavior as well:
<%= form_remote_tag(:update => "results", :url => {
:controller =>
''admin'', :action => :search } ) %>
<!--[form:search]-->
<table>
<tr><td><label>search:</label></td>
<td><%= text_field_tag :phrase %>
<%= observe_field(:phrase,
:frequency => 0.5,
:update => :results,
:url => { :controller => ''admin'',
:action
=> :search }) %></td></tr>
</table>
<!--[eoform:search]-->
<%= end_form_tag %>
But I''m getting an error stating that the object is nil when it
contains ''jim''. Take a look at the parameters passed. Quite
odd?
Shouldn''t it be {"phrase"=>"jim"}
TypeError in Admin#search
cannot convert nil into String
