Rails - Jun 2006 - Get value from form using rjs, and problem with Safari

Hi,


I have got two forms, the first is a textarea plus a link that activates
some javascript to change the form, the second activates some javascript on
the onchange event which changes it into a textarea form.

This works in Firefox, but not in Safari.



Also, I need the value which is selected. I''ve found an example that
gives
the parameter to the javascript, like this:

  <input type="checkbox" name="name"

    onclick="new Ajax.Request(''<%= url_for(:action =>
''update_attribute'',
:id => obj) %>'',
{parameters:''name=''+this.name+''&value=''+this.checked})"/>



How do I get the value which is selected when the onchange event occurs
using RJS?





View:

<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>



<h1>Test for Safari</h1>



%= form_tag :action => ''do_something'', :id => @survey
%>



<div id="form1_1">

<%= q_item(1, 1)%>

</div>



<div id="form1_2">

          <%= text_area("row1", "col2", { :cols =>
"20", :rows => "3" }) %>

  <div class="change">

                   <%= link_to_remote("change",

        :url => { :action => :change_back_div,


:id => "form1_2" },

                                      :id => "change") %>

          </div>

</div>



  <%= submit_tag ''Send'' %>

<%= end_form_tag %>





helper:

module AdminHelper



  def q_item(row, col)

            return select("row"+row.to_s, "col"+col.to_s,
%w{ Text Rating3
Rating4 ListItem GrantAccess},

                  {:include_blank => true},

                                { :onchange => remote_function(

                                                                  :url => {
:action => :change_div,


:id => "form"+row.to_s + "_" + col.to_s } ) } )

          end



  def to_question_item_form

    id = params[:id]

    remote_function( :url => { :action => :change_div,

                               :id => id } )

  end





admin_controller:

  def change_div

    pos = args_id(params[:id])

    html_options = { :class => "change" }

    render :update do |page|

      page[pos[:form]].replace( tag("div", "id" =>
pos[:form]) <<

        text_area(pos[:row], pos[:col], {:cols => 20, :rows => 3})
<<

        tag("div", "class" => "change")
<<

        link_to_function("change",

          remote_function( :url => { :action => :change_back_div,

                                     :id => pos[:form] }),

          html_options))

      page.visual_effect :highlight, pos[:form], :duration => 2

    end

  end



  def change_back_div

    pos = args_id(params[:id])

    render :update do |page|

            page[pos[:form]].replace( tag("div", "id" =>
pos[:form]) <<

            select(pos[:row], pos[:col], %w{ Text Rating3 Rating4 ListItem
GrantAccess},

                                { :include_blank => true },

                                { :onchange => to_question_item_form } ))

      page.visual_effect :highlight , pos[:form], :duration => 2

    end

  end




Thanks,


Jens
