I''m atm programming a webform that allows users to order different flyers with various sizes etc, now this is all dynamically updated (meaning Flyer X can have Sizes A,B,C while Flyers Y can have Sizes A,B,D,F). How ever it''s also possible to select different options, options like cutting/rounding to edit the end product, these options cost extra and need to be calculated into the price. These options are listed as a list of Check boxes called: options_ids[] Meaning if i submit the form i end up with an array called "options_ids" which i can get all the information from i need. Now the problem i have is that i need to "send" this array before the form is submited to calculated the price (which is dependant on Size, Product, Quantity and Options) Now since the other options are dropdown boxes i can simply send the value along in in ajax statement as follows: <%= observe_field("format[id]", :frequency => 0.25, :update => "infoprijs", :url => { :action => :getprijs }, :with => "''format_id=''+encodeURIComponent(value)+ ''&quantity=''+encodeURIComponent($(''quantity[id]'').value)+ ''&product=''+encodeURIComponent($(''product[id]'').value)") %> Now to add the options i thought i had to add the following (which is clearly wrong since ruby keeps hating me for it) ''&options_ids='' +(''options_ids[]'') Since i couldn''t find any documentation about passing an array through ajax i hope one of the guru''s on these forums could help me out.

Telling me that javascript is expecting a ''}'' which effectivly tells me nothing, i read around a bit aswell but haven''t found any one having any problems so i''m guesing im making some real novice mistake but what that mistake is i have no idea yet. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you do a view source on your generated page to see what the generated Javascript is, you should be able to spot the stray or missing "}". After a few times, you''ll almost get used to parsing all of the }''s and )''s. :).

It''s a plugin for Firefox that will let you monitor your XHR type requests and look at the response. It is invaluable when debugging AJAX code. You should be able to see your problem right away if you use it.

Owkay so i had another go, first thing i noticed is since i never loaded the page in firefox (yes yes i know.. shame shame... i recently formated and hadn''t bothered installing it yet! >.<) That the page wasn''t working at all for me... And well since i got rather fed up with my own messy programming i rewrite all the views to actually use the FormTagHelper, having done this my views etc now looking alot cleaner i went back to trying to get the darn thing to Form.serialize... The lovely plugin/addon you suggested (firebug) gave me the following message: missing } after property list prototype.js?1163... (line 181) new Form.Element.Observer(''format[id]'', 0.25, function(element, value) {new Ajax.Updater(''infoprijs'', ''/bestel/test'', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:''Form.serialize(''bestel'')='' + value})}) Basically the same problem i already had, so ill keep bashing my head against this, if you have any other suggestions please keep them coming since i have the feeling i''ll be stuck on this for a while >.< -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Owkay, i have no idea why... But after messing around with this for far to long... I finally found the problem about 15 minutes ago... the code has to be.. <%= observe_field("format[id]", :frequency => 0.25, :update => "infoprijs", :url => { :action => :test }, :with => "formdata = Form.serialize(''bestel'')") %> Notice the formdata variable getting the Form.serialize data assigned, i dont know why but all of the sites i spend hours on trying to find the solution listed it as :with => "Form.serialize(''form'')" Well if any one out there is bashing his/her head against the same problem... just assign add a variable... I just knew it had to be some shitty easy to solve thing.... >.< -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

######################## ### NEXT PROBLEM! :D ### ######################## Owkay, next problem :D still an ajax/form problem so ill keep it in here (hoping people will read it anyway) I have a list of multiple options users can select, with checkboxes! (i could make it a select list but i think that''s an ugly way to do it in this case) Now the check boxes are called: option_ids[], this for the simple reason that i want ruby to get a nice array of the different option id''s a user has selected. Now i also want the price to be calculated when a user selectes (or deselects) an option, now i tried to do that with... <%= observe_field("option_ids[]", :frequency => 0.25, :update => "infoprijs", :url => { :action => :test }, :with => "formdata = Form.serialize(''bestel'')") %> Because the X amount of checkboxes are all called option_ids[] it only observes the first checkbox, is there a way to get around this? I could ofc name the fields differently like option_ids[1], option_ids[X] etc etc.. But this would call for an X amount of observers, which i personally think is an unwanted solution. Any of you RoR gods have any briliant solutions for me maybe? :) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
