similar to: conditional form element

I''m using Rails Recipes to create a login form but instead of username and password, my setup is firstname, lastname, password. I seemed to be gramatically challenged and not sure how to set up the parameter list. Can anyone offer up a suggestion. The book shows the method starting like: if request.post? user = User.find(:first, :conditions => [''username = ?'' ,

I''m thinking of experimenting with some currency conversion. However, I''d like the conversions to be in synch with the current rates. Anyone know (and this maybe out in left field) if there is some online (perhaps xml) or other data stream I can connect with in my code to output values based on user selection ? TIA Stuart

Didn''t know what else to call this subject, sorry. Anyway this is more a general discovery question then a coding one. Is it possible (and I already know it should be) to create forms where depending on a particular choice in one select tag, one or another select tags would be presented in the form. As an example, a shopping site , where a dropdown has options of: 1-Men''s shoes

I''m trying to figure out things like this by myself so I don''t bother my developer and slow him down. How do I add class or id css attributes to tags like this: <%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => "send_url" } %> <%= link_to_remote "My Profile URL", :url => { :action => "send_profile_url", :id => @user.id } %>

I have the following code in my index.rhtml: <div id="how_many_images" style="background-color:#eee;"> <%= render(:partial => ''form'') %></div> ...and the following in my _form.rhtml <%= form_remote_tag(:update => "images_div_main", :url => { :action =>

Hi all, I have a really simple web page. Right now, it''s just a button and a square div. What I want to do is to change the background color of the div to red when the button is clicked. My form code looks like this: <%= form_remote_tag :url => {:action => ''color_show''} %> color_show.rjs looks like this: page <<

perhaps someone can take a little time to give me a better understanding of how to use form helpers. Here is what I''m working with in my app: user model - (the table where a user registers their information) it contains the following fields - first_name last_name email account_type (currently set to string but will probably be a select box with options) password_salt (I''m

Sorry - working on a simple tutorial but something is throwing me here. I''m supposed to get a Time.now() print to the page but it''s not working and I can''t figure out why. No errors are thrown my the page shows: Howdy, world! My name is Stuart Felenstein. This was verified at . So no time stamp showing. I went into IRB , did a Time.now() and it''s working

I''m running script/console but keep getting the message that irb.bat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I''m using form_remote_tag like this: <%= form_remote_tag \ :update => "div_id_dataentry_bottom_ajax", :loading => "document.getElementById(''wait'').innerHTML=''Loading...'';", :url => { :action => "dataentry_bottom_edit" } %> And it makes this code: <form

Hi guys, it''s me again ;) is it possible to put forms into forms? My problem is, i have a form which gathers informations about an SSL Certificate order. There is a field which holds the SSL CSR file. Now i wanted to put in a subform which has an form_remote_tag and decodes that CSR file and returns if everything was okay or not. Now if i put in a submit_tag it submits my form which

hi, what''s the way to reset the form generated by the form_remote_tag after the successful submission of the form? thanks

Does form_remote_tag supports multipart/form-data ? My form looks like this: <%= form_remote_tag :url => { :action => ''do_image_upload'' }, :html => { :enctype => ''multipart/form-data'' } %> <%= file_field ''image'', ''file_data'', :size => 32 %> <%= submit_tag

I know this shouldn''t be in the view but to test the code it is. Anyway if I do just session[user] I get back the user id (the id from the user table) which is good. However this code does not work. <% a = session[:user] %> <% uname = User.find(:first, :conditions => id = a) %> <%= @uname %> TIA Stuart

I''m using ROR 1.0 and the included prototype.js to do some AJAX stuff. I''m using the form_remote_tag to submit a login form using AJAX. So, any error/failed login will be displayed using AJAX. But, for successful login, I would want it to reload the wholepage, not just update the <DIV>. How can I achieve this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi I played a little bit with rails+ajax, works fine... but how do I reset the form? I tried: --- <%= form_remote_tag(:html => {:name => ''form_update''}, :url => :url_new_item_with_ajax, :update => ''container'', :loading => "Toggle.display(''new-item''); $(''new-item-desc'').innerHTML =

I have a site that is PHP on Apache / RedHat , but will send requests to a subdomain (running Rails) for database operations. I believe the set up should be to have ROR using Mongrel, and an Apache virtual host passing requests from apache to mongrel. Does this sound correct ? I believe the Virtual Host is set up in Apache. One of my problems is I can''t find the httpd.conf file for

I really hope this is not a bad question (as in he''s abusing the list). However I could use a little direction (even though I''m reading books, tutorials) Right now I''m getting a undefined method `category'' for 4:Fixnum The specific lines from the rhtml file are: <td><%= link_to position.category_id.category, :action => "show", :id =>

I asked the other day about this problem but haven''t received a response. Trying again: I just downloaded 1.6 and can''t get a simple draggable to work, which is weird. I know it''s not my browser since the demos are working. Here is my simple code. I''ve also had the "new Draggable" between the select tags. Didn''t change anything.

Hello, I'm very new to R, and so my question is simple. I have data record with 80 years of daily temperatures in one long string. The dates are also recorded, in YYMMDD format. I'd like to learn an elegant simple way to pull out the annual averages. (Obviously, every 4th year has 366 days.) I know I can set up a formal loop to create annual records and then average. But R
