Hello i ve been using RoR for about 3 weeks and i have create a very simple app to keep track of my tasks. I am having some difficulties on 2 things... First i have a column named ''priority'' on the table ''projects'' and i want to be able to change the color of the entiry row (or at least the cell) for that project. EX: i have 5 projects being displayed on a table two of them are priority 1 and the rest are priority 4. I want to be able to change the color of the row (or at least the cell) depending on the priority on the project (1 = red, 2 = orange, 3 = yellow... etc)... At the creation of the project i can specify the priority, but i am not sure how to get that number from the SQL database and then perform the if statements (if thats how it would be done).. Would this need JavaScript..? AJAX..? And second i have this check box linked to the ''done'' column on the ''projects'' table. The the i have the display set up is that it will display everything that has ''done = 0'' (or not done) so as soon i chekc the done check box it disappears from the list of projects. However there are 2 things i havent been able to figure out.. How can i have a prompt asking me if i am sure the project is done..? (similar to the ''destroy" action) And how can i create a timestamp, with the current date and time, and saved into the ''completed'' column....? here is what i have for the check_box list.rhtml: <td><%= check_box("done", "short", "onclick" => "document.location.href=''/project/toggle_done/#{project.id}''") %></td> controller: def toggle_done project = Projects.find(@params["id"]) project.done = !project.done? if project.save redirect_to(:action => "list") else render_text "Couldn''t add new status" end end Any inputs or ideas would be appriciated...
