Rails - May 2006 - passing data from controller to rjs and then to partial

Hello Experts,

I am fetching data in my controller from a web service

def search
   response = @@api.DoSearch()
end

and in my .rjs template, I am doing

page.replace_html  ''fields_chooser'', :partial =>
''fields_chooser''
,:locals =>{:response => response}
page.visual_effect(:Appear, ''fields_chooser'')

and in _fields_chooser.rhtml, I want to use response. But I can''t see 
response in my .rhtml file.

what am I missing here? how do I pass data "response" from controller
to
the .rhtml file or should I be doing this in a different way?

Thanks guys for any help.

The response variable that you have set

response = @@api.DoSearch()

is only local scope.  When you enter your rjs, it has gone out of scope.

Use
@response = @@api.DoSearch()

and in the rjs
page.replace_html  ''fields_chooser'', :partial =>
''fields_chooser''
,:locals =>{:response => @response}
page.visual_effect(:Appear, ''fields_chooser'')

I think this should fix it.

Did you mean @response instead of "response"?

Hi,

I am actually using response.

strangely, If I do @response = @@api.DoSearch()

I get this error:

undefined method `body='' for #<Array:0x36accd0>

Stack trace below:

however, if I just use response, I can see the response fine in logger, 
but I am not able to pass the response to the rjs template.

I am a NewB, so apologize if am not very clear.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,

I haven''t been able to get the :locals parameter to work in an RJS call
either, so what I''ve done in cases like this is to use an instance 
variable.  @response is a reserved attribute so you might try a 
different variable name in such a case.
