Hey guys, I am trying to build an web app. I am running Rails 3. I just
want to make a call to a controller method from my javascript(view
part). Most of the links says AJAX. But I dont know whether its my
search part on the internet causing me problems, but I just could not
find a simple way of calling a Controller Method from Javascript.
My javascript function:
home.html.erb
function test_call(val)
{
alert(val);
new Ajax.Request(''/SessionsController/test_call_cont'', {
method: ''post'',
parameters: {
menu_id: val,
}
});
}
And in my sessioncontroller.rb
def test_call_cont
puts "Printing from Controller"
end
Where am I going wrong, should I have to include any js files, or is my
syntax wrong? Totally confused.
Please do guide me.
Regards,
Nikhil

Hi Colin,
Im sorry but in the url, I am supposed to put up the path of my
controller method right?
Yes, my controller method is under main-application/app/views/sessions/.
So should I put it up like sessions/test_call_cont in the request? I
will also have to pass few parameters later on to that controller method
and render new page based on some operations in that controller
method(test_call_cont).
Regards,
Nikhil

Colin,
Sorry again. It was a typing mistake I believe. My controller is
rightly placed in app/controllers. Though I have given the url as
/sessions/test_call_cont, Nothing seems to be happening. I am not
getting any error but neither I am getting the required output. Where
can I have gone wrong?

No Colin. I kept track of line numbers in development.log . After I make that click, there seems to be no action happening. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Just a quickshot, but is your javascript function really triggered when clicking the link? Perhaps you could show that part of the view?

If I put in an alert before the ajax call, the alert gets displayed.
This is what you meant you by triggering the javascript right?
<script type="text/javascript">
function test_call(val)
{
alert(val);
new Ajax.Request(''/sessions/test_call_cont'', {
method: ''post'',
parameters: {
menu_id: val
}
});
}
</script>

Hey Guys, let me explain you all my scenario where I am stuck.
I got a table filled with cells. When I right click on any cell, I got
to display a context menu and then call a controller method on left
clicking the context menu. I got to send in a parameter to my controller
code and return what controller sends back. I am using jquery right
click for my context menu. I have the clicked cell value. I just need to
call a ruby controller method.
This is my home.html.erb code:
$(document).ready(function() {
var currentCellText;/*this variable will have the clicked cell value*/
$("tbody td").mousedown(function(e) {
currentCellText = $(this).text();
});
$.contextMenu({
selector: ''.context-menu-one'',
callback: function(key, options) {
var m = "clicked: " + currentCellText;
window.console && console.log(m)||
test_call(currentCellText);
},
items: {
"Menu 1": {name: "Menu 1"},
"Menu 2": {name: "Menu 2"},
}
});
});
function test_call(val)
{
alert(val);
new Ajax.Request(''/sessions/test_call_cont'', {
method: ''post'',
parameters: {
menu_id: val
}
});
}
And my controller code is
def test_call_cont
puts "Printing from Controller"
end

Jim,
I have removed the prototype.js file from app/assets/javascripts
folder. I will look into the link which you have posted.
Thanks,
Nikhil

Colin,
I have installed firebug for my Browser and after I left click my
right click menu option, I get the alert in the firebug console. No
errors there too. But how do I call the controller method?

If you substitute jQuery for Prototype, you also need to alter your code to be jQuery-compliant. Now if you have more Prototype than jQuery in your hand-written code, you can make Rails use Prototype in place of jQuery for all of its core unobtrusive functions (:remote => true and so forth). Just make sure you have the proper (prototype) version of rails.js in your project, and only include prototype.js (not both prototype.js and jquery.js) in your application.html.erb template. Make a scratch Rails project with: rails new foo -j=prototype Have a look in that project for the relevant files.

Finally got it working. I thank you all for your support, time and
patience.
$(document).ready(function() {
var currentCellText;/*this variable will have the clicked cell value*/
$("tbody td").mousedown(function(e) {
currentCellText = $(this).text();
});
$.contextMenu({
selector: ''.context-menu-one'',
callback: function(key, options) {
var m = "clicked: " + currentCellText;
window.console && console.log(m)||
test_call(currentCellText);
},
items: {
"Menu 1": {name: "Menu 1"},
"Menu 2": {name: "Menu 2"},
}
});
});
function test_call(val)
{
$.ajax({
type: ''GET'',
url:''/leave'',
data:{ foo: val },
success:function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
