Hi Chris,
I appreciate your response. I''d found that through Google but
there''s no example of how I''d use it in Rails.
Curt''s "Ajax on Rails" article works great with lists, but I
can''t get it to do much of anything good with tables. ;-( Despite all
the praise I''ve seen for how easy Rails makes Ajax, I can''t
find much in the way of examples / tutorials.
Thanks again,
Bill

without knowing exactly what you want to do, i can only provide a simple
example. hopefully this is what you are after.
<%= link_to_remote( "Add", :update => "xyz", :url
=> { :action => "add" },
:position => "before") %>
what this will accomplish is to call the add action on the controller and
then insert the returned content before the element with the id of
"xyz"
so if i had the following as my update element:
<span id="xyz">bar</div>
and my remote link returned "foo"
the result would be:
foo<span id="xyz">bar</span>
if you were to look at the source, you would see something like:
<a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater(''xyz'',
''/controller/add'',
{asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, insertion:Insertion.Before}); return
false;">Add</a>
however, as tables have been known to be flaky across browsers in regards to
ajax, I have no idea if this would even work.
