Hey All,
I''ve got the below partial rendering each item of a collection to a
table row, with some nice ajax magic for hiding the row if the user clicks a
link. It works very nicely, except for the bit that assigns the class=
attribute to the tr tag. For some reason I can''t figure out, every row
is getting class="line-even". Does anybody have an idea why the
cycle() call wouldn''t work here?
For extra weirdness, if I include this html comment line right before the line
w/the opening <tr> tag, it *does* work.
<!-- class="<%= cycle(''line-even'',
''line-odd'') %>" -->
############### non-cycling partial ########################
<% this_found_project_id = "fp_#{found_project.id}" %>
<tr class="<%= cycle(''line-even'',
''line-odd'')%>" id="<%= this_found_project_id
%>">
<td><%= found_project.name %></td>
<td>
<%=
link_to_function ''add'' do |page|
page.insert_html :bottom,
"roster",
:partial =>
''tumor_sites/tumor_sites_project'',
:object => TumorSitesProject.new(:project_id =>
found_project.id)
page.hide this_found_project_id
end
%>
</td>
</tr>
############### non-cycling partial ########################
Thanks!

Dude, you have blown my mind. ;-) That explanation makes perfect sense--the
partial I call in link_to_function there does indeed have an identical call to
cycle (for coloring rows of another table).
I haven''t tried link_to_remote, but giving cycle a :name parameter to
distinguish it from the other cycle call seems to do the trick--e.g.
cycle(''line-even'', ''line-odd'', :name =>
''found-rows'')
Many thanks!

You have written a real tongue-twister here; two minor misunderstandings that
lead to the cycle() canceling itself out!

eRB cannot comprehend <!-- (because you could eRB any other language with its
own comments). Hence, the cycle() runs, and pushes one of those classes into a
comment! If you viewed the source, or wrote puts @response.body in your unit
test, you would see them.
That increment''s cycle''s ticker by one.

This is not Ajax. The code calculates this partial once, at page render time. If
that partial calls cycle(), it will increment its tick again. That might cancel
out the last cycle().
Then, all this extra HTML gets shoved into this <a> tag''s onclick
attribute. And this happens for every <tr> in this table. This is just
normal JavaScript, not Ajax.

Comment the comment out with <%# cycle ... %>. Then use link_to_remote(),
not link_to_function(). It''s only Ajax if the render :update is inside
a real controller action.
