I am using the drop shadow technique described at http://www.1976design.com/blog/archive/2003/11/14/shadows/ to give several of my divs drop shadows. That part works fine. What doesn''t work so well is when I try to BlindDown a div in Firefox and it ends up ignoring the content below it and just overlapping it. In IE this problem does not occur. In Firefox the overlapping does

I am implementing some AJAX features into a web forum, and one feature works fine in Firefox and in IE, but it is choking in Safari. Safari will send the request fine and the data will be stored in the DB, but it is not responding correctly to the RJS that is being sent back. Anybody notice issues with Safari parsing the javascript sent back to the browser? -- Timothy Johnson

Hello all, I''m in my second day of working through the various Ruby on Rails tutorials, I''m already hugely impressed by the potential speed of developing database driven sites, especially via the use of scaffolds. Which brings me on to my first question (apologies if it''s a simple one, but like I said it is only my second day!) I am aiming to develop an application

Hi Guys, So creating a forums application seems like something that rails can handle easily and well, and whatever implementation that came to fruition would be head and shoulders above existing products like vBulliten and phpBB. Even the existing rails forums are using php-based forum products! An insult if you ask me. So my question -- is there any current development of a rails-based

Hello everyone :) Love the mailing list! I read it as much as I can! Thanks all you RoR guru''s for providing so much help. Anyways... So say I have Users, and each user can have a list of Plants that they like. I would want to give each user a table that has many entries to show me which plants they like. How could I do this? I don''t know if there''s a way to do

...these relatioships seemless? Should I use single-table-inheritance with the User in order to give users specific roles (even though sellers and managers need to have all the same priviliges as buyers, so it could end up conflicting that way too). Thanks for all your help. Timothy Johnson www.foundinteractive.com -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have one dedicated server for all my various projects (both PHP as well as Rails) and will be getting a second server to run only the Rails apps on. What is the ideal server setup in terms of RAM vs. Processor Speed (more RAM or more processor speed?) and should I use Apace, lighttpd, mongrel, or what? I''ve got the money to afford something pretty solid...just don''t know

I''m looking for a RoR VPS with mySQL, mongrel, apache, and possibly PHP. Westhost has some really darn nice pricing for VPS. Anyone have any opinions? I''m looking at something that will scale with our needs. Not necessarily the cheapest, but something with good value. However, we are in a bootstap situation. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I wanted to add a mash up to my website and was wondering if there were any recommendations? I saw that there is a cartographer plugin (http://cartographer.rubyforge.org/) and also something else called YM4R (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/YM4R). I have no idea if they are up to date or not or whether this is currently the easiest/best way to go about it short of rolling your own.

Hello, I have a big controller of about 1000 lines and whenever I make changes to views the browser does not show the updated code. I am running in development mode which makes it all more confusing. This happens in both rails 1.0.0 and 1.1.2 and both in ruby 1.8.2 and 1.8.4. It also happens for fcgi and scgi. Also for apache, webrick, and mongrel. At this point I have no idea what is going

Do you design first the develop? Develop first then design? Do both simultaneously? Just curious, because I''m working on a site right now doing a little of both at the same time. -- Matt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I have a User class with a field called admin which is a boolean that determines if the user is or is not an administrator. I want to make it impossible for the last administrator for an account to be removed from the system. I need to protect against this both when deleting a user and when editing a user as you can revoke a user''s administrator privileges via a form. User

Hi all, Has anyone ever thought about or implemented a way to use Rails to pull content from a database and actually *generate* static html pages from view templates? I want to throw a bunch of content into a db using rails and then put all my website templates into the views dir and write the files out with the content inside. The funny thing is that the html pages Rails normally outputs to

I have a list of categories, when I delete one of them, I want that item to fade and then get removed. So I do the following: 1. home_controller: def delete @category = Category.find_by_name(params[:name]) @element_id = @category.name Category.delete_all(["name = ?", @category.name]) end 2. delete.rjs: if @element_id page.visual_effect :fade, @element_id

I''ve written my app already. It outputs valid xhtml and I need a stylesheet to drop over the top. How hard is it for people to understand that? It''s a small project, they''d have to do the main design/layout, and then a little custom styling for some specific elements which don''t appear on every page. That''s the point of CSS right? write once, use

I posted this to comp.lang.ruby and comp.lang.smalltalk, and my blog. I will likely get destroyed, but it will be worth it if at least one nugget of information helps the Ruby IDE makers. ----------------------------------------- Hi all -- I shout my question to the entire Ruby + Smalltalk community: Smalltalk has had amazing IDEs for decades, why not Ruby? Smalltalkers, Ruby needs your help!
