Hi, I''m using scriptaculous to provide an auto complete textbox - and it works perfectly - but I was wondering if there was anyway to let users navigate the choices using the keyboard i.e the curor keys as opposed to having to use the mouse?

My call is like so: <%= collection_select(:consultant, :lastname, @consultants, :id, :lastname, { :selected => @current_consultant.id } ) %> which is not working, I debugged so far that I know that @current_consultant.id contains the correct value. Any tips? cheers

Howdy folks, As I was putting together a rough form for a rails app, I got to thinking how much smoother (in my siytuation) a little calendar widget would be than the default date picker selects. Does anyone know if such a thing exists ? I suspect it would have to be somewhat designed with rails in mind to populate the right kind of post params for convenient use at the controller end.

Here''s what my method looks like that takes in a tag name, finds all the members that share the tag and then displays all the members. Nothing too fancy

Hello, The problem I am having is I have a form where a user can edit their data that does not include their password. I have another form that I allow them to change their password. Both forms use the before_update method that hashes the password. There is no password in the first form. Am I making this too complicated? How do I call the hash_password for only the second form? Both forms use

...thout generating a migration for it. The biggest problem with writing unit tests for this is that (AFAIK) there is no simple way to apply migrations to the test database instead of the development one. Is there a simple switch or something in rake that will make it use the test database? _Kevin -- Posted with http://DevLists.com. Sign up and save your time!

I have a view with a form and i want to be able to process the button selected in a controller - not sure how to do this. The form does not map directly to a model - all I want to do is be able to pass back the selected button and know which one it is.

I have a model where I want to change the display for a single attribute such that if the value is an integer, it displays with no decimal point (e.g. "1"), but if it is non-integer, it displays with a decimal point (e.g. "1.25").
