Rails - Nov 2007 - using page variables in rjs templates

Hi everyone.

I have a CMS that uses a fckeditor-like WSIWYG setup. I''m writing an
ajax action that toggles the view between WSIWYG and a textarea that
shows the actual html.

To do that, I need to pull the existing content out of an iframe on
the page and reinsert it into the textarea.

page.assign(@content,
$(''edit'').contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML)

page.replace_html  "texteditor", ''<textarea
cols="40"
id="article_body"  name="article[body]"
rows="4">"#{@content}" </
textarea>''


It''s giving me syntax errors on the $(''edit'') line,
and I''m not at all
convinced that page.assign is what I''m looking for.

Help?

not to sure. but  there are 2 points to keep in mind.
1. the DOM is not cross browser compatible
 ie. innerHTML is deprecated and does not work in ie6
 so use prototype Event.update
 or JQuery (its not rjs but it could probable provide a graceful fix)

2. Ajax is communicating with the server. Your just doing DOM 
manipulation.


Sorry, I couldn''t be more help. When you figure it out please post the 
solution I plan to add similar functionality to an app of my own.
