If only I could get ''observe_field'' to fire?
I''ve been programming in Rails for about a year and have made great
progress. If I could just fire an event inside a form and respond with
code, I could go much further.
I''ve created an example using the observe_field javascript applet and
can''t get it to respond. Here''s a very simple example where
the user
is selecting from a SELECT statement and once this hurdle is jumped
the observe_field should fire by showing all the params.
<p><b>Category:</b><br>
<select id="ecat_id" name="eitem[ecat_id]">
<% @ecats.each do |ecat| %>
<option value="<%= ecat.id %>"
<%= '' selected'' if ecat.id == @eitem.ecat_id
%>>
<%= ecat.description %>
</option>
<% end %>
</select></p>
<%= observe_field "ecat_id",
:update => ''params.inspect'' %>
I don''t seem to be getting the consolidated list of this forum anymore
and would appreciate a reply to my email address below.
Thank you,
Kathleen

One or the other is required. In a situation like this, always look at the generated JavaScript to make sure it''s generating what you expect. Also, use Firebug so you can trace XHR and see if it fires and if any errors are returned.> I don''t seem to be getting the consolidated list of this forum anymore > and would appreciate a reply to my email address below.Um, no. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
