I''m new to Ruby on Rails and came across a problem I could not solve
alone.
I''ve a pretty simple RJS file that looks like the following:
3.times do
page.insert_html :bottom, ''messages'',
''test''
end
page.call ''updateMessageWindow''
However this snippet gives a syntax error:
ActionView::TemplateError (compile error
D:/Eigene
Dateien/Programming/Web/AjaxChat/app/views/chat/update.js.rjs:1: syntax
error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting kEND
3.times do
page.insert_html :bottom, ''messages'',
''test''
end
page.call ''updateMessageWindow''
^) on
line #1 of chat/update.js.rjs:
1: 3.times do
page.insert_html :bottom, ''messages'',
''test''
end
page.call ''updateMessageWindow''
What is wrong with it? If I remove the last line (page.call
''updateMessageWindow'') everything works as expected.

Thus, the above should have been developed as follows: 3.times do |page| page.insert_html :bottom, ''messages'', ''test'' end page.call ''updateMessageWindow'' Good luck, -Conrad --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

You don''t need the block variable (and in your example it''s doubly bad because you would be overwriting the magic page variables with the integers 0 to 2. What''s the whole of the rjs file ?

After struggling a day with the code and not being able to detect any syntax error whatsoever I checked the encoding of the line endings. To my surprise they were encoded as carriage returns (CR, Mac style). Changing them to Linux (LF) or Windows (CR+LF) style solved the problem and the parser was happy again. I have no clue why my editor (intype) suddenly inserted CRs instead of line feeds (other files I''ve written with the same editor have a correct encoding of the line endings). To conclude, the syntax error hadn''t anything to do with RJS templates in special. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
