search for: xhr

Searched around this forum, but didn''t find an answer for this question. Can you help this newbie understand any overlap and/or difference between request.xhr? and respond_to? If request.xhr? is true, should I expect it wants.js below? respond_to do |wants| wants.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) } wants.js wants.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include => @company) } end Is it fair to say the functionality of res...

Hi! I try to get AJAX running on a mobile Windows Mobile 5.0 based device and failed. There should be a JavaScript support but nothing happens.

Hi everyone, I am a bit confused with xhr? and respond_to. I have the folloing code in my view to update the ''emails'' ID link_to_remote(image_tag("refresh"), :update => "emails", :url => { :action => "list_emails" }) in the controller side i have somthing like : [..] respond_t...

Dear everybody I''m trying to develop a web application that makes use of AJAX, but also works if a user has no (or doesn''t want to use) JS. For normal requests, this is pretty easy. Almost every action ends with render blahblah, :layout => !request.xhr? This way, I can use the same action to render a full page (with layout) as well as rendering an AJAX request (only the div, no layout) The problem occurs when doing a redirect_to in an AJAX request (e.g. if a form post request was successful and the user is redirected to the list action). The...

Getting a strange error. In a story I have the following step: When "I submit a search name" do xhr :post, ''/searches'', {:search => {:given_name => "bob", :family_name => "smith"}} end I am getting: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (4 for 3) stories/searching_story_spec.rb:45 in "I submit a search name" But I only have 3 argument...

Hi all, In my application, I want seamless degradability so I use request.xhr? to check whether a request is an ajax call. However here and there, I need to use redirect_to - in this case the request is not xhr anymore, and the check doesn''t work as expected. Is there a way to make xhr- like redirect (which allow to get to another controller+action)? Thanks, - Chuo...

Hello, The documentation at api.rubyonrails.com for ActionController::TestProcess#xhr or xml_http_reponse gives method as the first parameter and action as the second parameter folled by the parameters hash, etc. But ActionController::Integration::Session#xhr has a path, followed by the parametes hash, and apparently no alias for xhr. Of course, the documentation in the AWDwR book...

link_to_remote generates the javascript: new Ajax.Updater(...). Have I missed something or doesn''t this handle browsers with javascript support but without XHR support? What I''d like to do is: 1. If the browser supports XHR, use XHR 2. If the browser supports javascript (and perhaps even if the XHR request fails) do a POST via javascript 3. If the browser doesn''t support javascript use POST via a standard form Is that possible? Than...

Saw a lot of recommendations for Firebug (http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/) on this list. I''ve scanned its docs and tried it--many useful features. But I''m so dense that I can''t get it to spy XHR/AJAX requests and their response on FC5 running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Firebug 0.4. Can someone tell me how to get to http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/screens/spy.png ? Thanks in advance! Doug. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Still a semi-newbie, but so far I''ve managed to solve most things with a bit of help from the Agile book, some googling around, and a bit of trial-and-error, but I''m really stuck with this one (very much an Ajax newbie): I know how to gracefully degrade an AJAX newpost type call so it can appear inline or (for those without JS support) go to a new page (put an ":href

Hi I have a window that looks like this -------------------- | | Enter -------------------- That box will take a command that the user enters and runs it on a server in the background loading a new window for the user to view the results. Is there a way to take multiple xhr requests so that the next request the user enters , a new window will pop up right away, instead of stalling for the first xhr request to finish? thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi I just wondered if there was a reason why Rails controller specs are not shareable? eg describe "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote", :shared => true do controller_name :gap # ... end describe "XHR POST /gap/calculate_quote with valid details" do it_should_behave_like "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote" # ... end blows up with the following error:...

hey guys, i am writing a couple of actions which are only used with an xhr. I ''protect'' them all against a direct access with the ''verify'' method in the controller verify :only => ..., :xhr => true it would be cool if the system would automatically recognize the xhr actions and protect them ... i want to postfix methods with ...

I have an Ajax responder method which uses respond_to to make sure it only works with Ajax. I''m having trouble figuring out how to call this action successfully. I''m using Rails 1.2.x.

Hi, I have a link_to_remote to an action in my controller, which has an rjs file associated with it. In the action (where @request.xhr? is true), I have tried to redirect to another page or render to another page. When I do this, the log says all the redirections/renders were successful, but I remain on the same page. My rjs file at least does not execute though, which is good. Any ideas on what''s going on? -- Respectfu...

I''m using rails3. It does not seem to check the authenticity_token when doing a POST using Ajax. I traced this to: module ActionDispatch class Request < Rack::Request ..... def forgery_whitelisted? get? || xhr? || content_mime_type.nil? || ! content_mime_type.verify_request? end end so you don''t check if its a get? or a xhr?
