This is driving me nuts:-)
I''ve brought it down to a simplified case where I''m rendering
this rjs
template:
page.insert_html :top, ''cat1'', "<li>Some list
item</li>"
According to FireBug, this is what I''m actually getting in the browser:
try {
new Insertion.Top("cat1", "<li>Some list
item</li>");
} catch (e) { alert(''RJS error:\n\n'' + e.toString());
alert(''new
Insertion.Top(\"cat1\", \"<li>Some list
item</li>\");''); throw e }
This all looks right to me, though I''m no Javascript expert. The
headers
have
Content-Type: text/javascript.
But what is actually being displayed instead of a new list item is
something like:
try { new Insertion.Top("cat1", "
o Some list item
"); } catch (e) { alert(''RJS error:\n\n'' + e.toString());
alert(''new
Insertion.Top(\"cat1\", \"
o Some list item
\");''); throw e }
(...where the o''s represent the little list-item dots -- the two
instances of "Some list item" are actually being displayed as list
items).
Can anybody throw a clue to a clueless man?
Thanks in advance!

If you are using :update => ''someid'' in your link_to_remote this will happen. See if that''s the cause. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RJS----What-am-I-missing--tf1858282.html#a5075103 Sent from the RubyOnRails Users forum at Nabble.com.
I recently ran into this, though it''s an easy fix. Whatever the remote call is (link_to_remote, form_remote_tag, etc) have a first parameter of which DOM element to update. The RJS returns the javascript string, so the Ajax call promplty updates that element with the new text. However, RJS want''s to update elements itself. So just give the remote link a blank string where it asks for an element to update, e.g.: link_to_remote '''', url_stuff Jason Al Evans wrote:> This is driving me nuts:-) > > I''ve brought it down to a simplified case where I''m rendering this rjs > template: > > page.insert_html :top, ''cat1'', "<li>Some list item</li>" > > According to FireBug, this is what I''m actually getting in the browser: > > try { > new Insertion.Top("cat1", "<li>Some list item</li>"); > } catch (e) { alert(''RJS error:\n\n'' + e.toString()); alert(''new > Insertion.Top(\"cat1\", \"<li>Some list item</li>\");''); throw e } > > This all looks right to me, though I''m no Javascript expert.

Are you doing a remote call (what you should be doing) or are you just doing a normal action call? It sounds like your rjs is correct but your controller is not rendering what you want.

You just want the javascript to execute, so take out the :update and let it do its thang. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
