Hey all, Here''s my situation: I have a pair of controllers with associated models (called Services and Testimonials) that are quite similar. Because their CRUD behavior is executed via AJAX, the "templates" for the actions are all short .rjs files. Now, because of the similarity of the models, most of the templates are exactly the same, with only the object names changed. That

Hi, I''ve been able to succesfully queue page.visual_effect commands in my RJS templates. Each command will wait to execute until the previous command is done executing. But I''d also like to execute a page.replace_html command AFTER the page.visual_effect commands. I have a series of five DIVs: div1 div2 div3 div4 div5 When the user clicks on div1, a page.visual_effect

Is there a way to toggle an effect in an RJS? If not, anyone have recommendations for how to manually make it toggle? I guess I would assume some boolean that the rjs checks everytime it''s called and depending on whether it''s true or false it will do page.visual_effect :appear or page.visual_effect :hide -Ben Lisbakken -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

what is the correct syntax for changing an effect like :highlight? i tried looking through the api, and found it, but i can''t seem to get it right. i want to change the start color of visual_effect(:highlight, ''user-list''). i tried visual_effect(:highlight, ''user-list'', :startcolor = ''#990000'') and several other variations of

I just upgraded Ruby to 1.8.4 and Rails to 1.1 and I''m in the middle of changing my Javascript code over to the Scriptaculous helper functions. page.visual_effect :highlight, "some_div" seems to be broken. Instead of fading, the background color of the element stays highlighted. page.visual_effect works for other effects, though. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Posted via

Hi. I was wondering if it''s possible to combine effects for individual elements with RJS templates. I notice that scriptaculous has support for a concept called effect queues (http://www.railsdevelopment.com/2006/01/15/effectqueue/). Is there anyway to use these queues from rjs?

This code was working before I created the update_link_list method in the helper below (everything was in the controller). I can successfully create a new link but I get a TypeError when I leave all form fields blank -- I expect to see validation error messages. --- #link_controller.rb: def create link = Link.new(params[:link]) saved = link.save num_links = Link.find(:all).size

Within the RJS template is there a way to specify when the visual_effect should occur? I''m trying not to repeat the :before and :success blind_down visual_effect statements throughout my views. It seems like the rjs templates can only take visual effects statements in the form of page.visual_effect :blind_up, ''divname''. I can''t figure out how to add

Mike and I demo an Ajaxified version of the Depot application in the Rails Studio. Part of the demo is a cart in the sidebar which updates when you add a product to it. As well as updating the div, it also highlights the most recently added link item. Right now, we do it with: <script language="JavaScript"> function flash_cart(request) { var id =

Hi, I am having trouble with rjs templates. Basically I want the item_div to fade if its already open and then display the new item that the user selected with the visual effect: appear. The code below causes the browser (firefox on osx) to open the div and then close it again as soon as it is open: page.visual_effect :fade, ''item_div'', :duration => 0.5 page.replace_html

Hi, I have a contact object .

How could I check the value of an javascript object''s attribute? <div id="new_item_details" style="display:none"></div> <%= link_to_function("Show details...", nil, :id => "show_details") do |page| page.visual_effect(:toggle_blind, :new_item_details) if (page[:new_item_details].style.visibility ==

I''m trying desperately to get visuall effects callbacks working in rjs templates to no avail What I''m trying to do is fade an image, change the div with the image to a new image, and then fade the new image back in. How would I go about this in RJS Here''s a simple line from my rjs that I can''t get to work. It is not using callbacks so the

I''m trying to have one image fade out and then another slidedown upon completion of the ajax call. I can''t get the timing correct. How do you do it? Here''s what I''m trying (this does not work) <%= link_to_remote(image_tag(url_for_file_column(product, "image_url"), :update => ''right_content'', :url => {

Hi all, I just upgraded a half baked app to RC2 and found a problem with passing parameters to the visual_effect method, particularly :enddcolor and :startcolor. Firebug does not report any error but the method just fails silently. If i remove the parameters, the method works just fine albeit with the default colors. Has anyone else found this problem?

I have some code that will do the highlight, fade effect on a block of text. It seems to work just fine until it is fired multiple times very rapidly. The end color matches a grey background and the start color is a yellow. Say its run 4 times a second for 3-5 seconds. When the flashing catches up the text will fade for the last time to the end color, then the background will switch to a

Hi, If I want to have helper method for my rjs, where''s the best place to put it? so for example: --- bla.rjs: page.replace_html ... page.visual_effect ... --- somewhere: (currently I put in application_helper.rb) def replace_with_effect(page) page.replace_html ... page.visual_effect ... end --- bla.rjs: replace_with_effect page and is there a way to define the helper so we

I''m trying to implement a remove from cart method based on the examples in the second edition Agile book. I have everything working except for the RJS that removes items from the cart. Ideally what I''d like to do is highlight an element that I am deleting only if there is more than one of that particular item in the cart. If the item deleted is the only of

In my RJS template this works: page.visual_effect :highlight, "test#{@test.id}", {:duration => 5} but not this: page.visual_effect :highlight, "test#{@test.id}", {:duration => 5, :startcolor => "#FFFFFF"} Am I misunderstanding how to pass in additional parameters? _______________________________________________ Rails-spinoffs mailing list

Does RJS inherently support the Element.toggle effect? I haven''t been able to call it the way you call "appear", "fade", etc... Jeff -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
