The subject line says it all. -- Is there a way to do something like: page.replace_html "#{var_containing_id_name}", :partial => ''edit'' That line of code does not work, but I would like to pass the name of a variable to page.replace_html.

As ingredients are added to the page they''re displayed in a "green-bar" format like that used in the Depot

I sure hope so: http://duckdown.blogspot.com/2006/03/additional-thoughts-on-why-ruby-isnt.html Seems like it''s getting genuine rebuttals, though. It''s actually kind of amusing.

Didn''t see it on the trac--is there a way to subscribe to commit msgs on the rails trunk? How about on the CHANGELOGs for actionpack & activerecord? Thanks.

All, I whipped up a small extension for Prototype to solve some modeling issues I was having on a large JS project. I know there have been serveral alternative "write JS in Ruby" type efforts, including ruby.js, rb2js, and prototype.js itself, but I was hoping to keep it as light as possible while gaining the most powerful aspects of derivation/mixins/callbacks. Much like the prototype

I''ll pose a question partly for fun, partly out of interest to see what everyone else is doing to survive the pain of the day job. It''s for the professional J2EE developer converts out there. Let''s say someone hired you to write a Basecamp clone, but it has to be done in Java, say on the Tomcat or JBoss platform. What does your stack look like now that you''ve
