I am using an observe field that completely re-renders a page based on
what language the user selects. I would like to do this and force the
action into a sychronous action so when the user wants to copy the url
and e-mail it to someone else, they get the same language. Any clue how
to do this? If you can do it without observe_field, that would be fine
with me, but it needs to happen as soon as the user picks a selection
from the drop down menu.
<%= f.select_tag :show_language, options_for_select(["English",
"French", "Spanish"]) %>
<%= observe_field(:show_language, :update =>
''wrapper'',:url => {:action
=> :search_language, :phrase => @phrase.word},
:frequency => 0.2, :on => ''focus'',
:with => "''language='' +
encodeURIComponent(value)") %>
Using rails 2.0.2 and leopard 10.5.

By "forcing a synchronous action" i meant that i wanted the page to refresh totally, with a new url and everything. When i use :onchange or observe_field, i can only :update => "a_portion_of_the_page" and my url doesn''t change. So if a user used my select box to change the language from english to french and then coppied the url and sent it to someone else, when the other person clicked the url, it will incorrectly take them to the page marked as english. AJAX is awesome, but sometimes its a pain in the ass. So if you know how to force the server to re-render the entire page even if the action is triggered with ajax, let me know, thanks!! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

In rails 1.6 when passing a ajax call such as <%= link_to_remote %> it used to be as simple as passing :type => :synchronous in the code, but this doesn''t seem to work anymore, and I can''t find any info on it online. can you point me to an example? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I think you must be imagining things. A ajax request can certainly be asynchronous or synchronous, but that''s got nothing to do with what you''re after.
