I decided to create an advanced search form which is stored in a partial
called:
_search.html.erb
Right now the partial just contains a simple two box nested form_tag..
In my index.html I have the following:
<% form_tag controller.controller_path, :method => ''get''
do %>
Advanced Search
<%= check_box "search", "info" %>
<%= observe_field(:search_info,
:on=>''click'',
:frequency=>0.25,
:update => :submit_div,
:with => :search_info,
:url => { :action => :search_form }) %>
<div id="submit_div">
</div>
<% end -%>
Which basically monitors the search_info from the check_box and when it
hits an event onClick it goes to the search_form method specified in my
controller, updating :search_info..
So, in my controller I tested all of the returns:
def search_form
validate_date_form
if params[:search_info] == "null"
#render :text => ""
render :text => "Debug search_info unchecked = " +
params[:search_info]
else
#render :partial => "search"
render :text => "Debug search_info checked = " +
params[:search_info]
end
end
When I fire up my page, if I click the checkbox I receive:
Debug search_info checked = "1"
If I uncheck the checkbox I receive:
Debug search_info unchecked = "null"
If I comment out the debug lines and uncomment what''s listed above the
following occurs:
Firefox:
If I check the box the partial is rendered. If I uncheck the box, the
partial is removed.
Internet Explorer:
If I check the box, nothing happens. If I uncheck the box, I can see a
slight buffer from the empty div showing so the "null" is accepted.
Why is the partial not rendering in I.E.?

Update: Firefox 3.5 => partial renders OK Opera 9.6.4 => partial renders OK Safari 4.0 => partial renders OK Internet Explorer 8 => partial does not render -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

What do you suggest I do regarding what I''m trying to accomplish? I just want a checkbox that when checked displays my search form and when unchecked displays an empty rendered text. Should I place the rendered form in another area that makes it unnested? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Sorry Fred,
I''m dense this morning - I figured it out:
<td align="left" valign="middle">
Advanced Search
<%= check_box "search", "info" %>
<%= observe_field(:search_info,
:on=>''click'',
:frequency=>0.25,
:update => :submit_div,
:with => :search_info,
:url => { :action => :search_form }) %>
<div id="submit_div">
</div>
</td>
I forgot that I was going with an older model where I''d verify a
submit.
I didn''t need the first form at all. I forgot to remove that..
Thanks!
