I''m trying to add a simple search to an index page of my project. It
takes a term, does a ''like'' query and populates a common
partial which
is displayed with javascript in the div ''search_remote''.
It runs fine, once. If you run multiple queries without hiding the
div, it works fine. If you close the div and attempt to search again
you get nothing. The console shows that the controller method is
firing but the div isn''t getting updated.
In the view:
<% form_remote_tag :update=> "search_remote",:url => {
:action =>
"search_remote" } do %>
<%= ''Search for Description:'' %>
<%= text_field "description", "description" %>
<%= submit_tag ''find'' %>
<% end %>
<div id="search_remote">
</div>
In the controller:
def search_remote
if params[:description]
search_term = params[:description][:description]
search_term = ''%'' + search_term + ''%''
@search_results = Item.find(:all, :conditions => ["description
LIKE ?", search_term])
render :partial => "search_remote", :locals => {:aGroup
=>
@search_results, :show_hide => 1, :aToken=>
''search_remote''}
In the partial _search_remote:
<%= link_to_remote ''hide'',
:update => ''search_remote'',
:url => {:action => "search_remote", :token =>
''search_remote'' },
:complete => visual_effect( :blind_up, ''search_remote'',
:duration =>
0.2 )
%>
Thanks

Thanks Fred. You pointed me in the right direction. The problem seemed to be in the form_remote_tag element. I changed "text_field" to "text_field_tag" which got rid of the double params for description. I also changed the div name by adding "_div" to it on the possibility that having the same method and div name might have caused the confusion. Then adding a "render :nothing => true" to the search_remote method cleaned out the div. In the future, I think I''ll add a separate search page.
