Hello, I try to figure out how to use the script.aculo.us scripts and followed the example on their webpage, but still getting errors, like "element has no properties". I have the following code: view/add.rhtml ============<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <html><head> <script src="../javascripts/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="../javascripts/scriptaculous.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> // <![CDATA[ Effect.Appear(''edit_text''); // ]]> </script> </head> <body> <div id="edit_text"> <p id="editme2"><%= textilize(@fancy_text) </p> <script language="JavaScript"> new Ajax.InPlaceEditor(''editme2'', ''update_text'', {rows:15,cols:40,loadTextURL:''return_unformatted_text''}); </script></div> </body> </html> controller/shop_controller.rb ============================class ShopController < ApplicationController require ''in_place_editor'' def add #get the text to display initially @fancy_text = "Some fancy *bold* and _emphasized_ text." end def update_text #save your text here, and return the saved value @fancy_text = params[:value] render :layout => false, :inline => "<%= textilize( @fancy_text ) %>" end def return_unformatted_text #get your text and return it without the formatting @fancy_text = "Some fancy edited, *bold* and _emphasized_ text." render :layout => false, :inline => "<%= @fancy_text %>" end end I hope somebody can help me with this one. Another question: I am looking for an in_place_edit function (hopefully with script.aculo.us) to be used with mysql-database. Does anybody have code example on this? I found a lot of examples on the web but none of them worked for me Best regards, Mark -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
