I''m a real Newb; just bought AWDwR and using it with Win2000 - it took me ages, and only after reading Curt Hibbs Rolling with Ruby, to realise that I needed to use Cmd.exe before using AWDwR''s dave> instructions.

Hi, I''m currently learning Ruby on Rails using "Agile Web Development with Rails." I am using RadRails as my development environment. Everything has been going along well, until the end of chapter 7. Just before the end of the chapter, we set up our store pages so that they can be styled with the depot.css stylesheet. This is where I run into my problem. The stylesheet

I am trying to use an expanded version of the User Login from the Agile Web Development with Rails book. It takes the user name and password but then says "Invalid user/password combination". Looking at the log everything seems to be fine until it sends the query to MySQL. The query shows that the name is '''' instead of the name that was passed to the self.login

I''m new to Ruby and to fairly new to programming. I''ve been working through the "Agile Web Development with Rails" book, and I''m stuck on page 73 of the print version.

I''ve been following along just fine with the depot app, up until I make the catalog, where, when the price is displayed with formatting, the price shows up underneath the <div> bar for the next item in the catalog. If, in index.rhtml, I change the <span class="price"> to just <span>, or equivalently, remove the entire <span...> tag, it works just

Hi All, I''m a RoR n00b that has been lurking for a week or so. About two weeks ago I bought the text version of Agile Web Development with Rails. Today, I bought the .pdf version because I run a Sony Notebook and find a .pdf more user friendly. Therefore I have the text to give away for free. If anyone in the continental US would like the copy please let me know and I''ll mail it

hi, This is regarding the "Depot Application". Section 9.3, Iteration D3 -- Highlighting Changes. I''ve followed this exactly according to the PDF, but it doesn''t work. The Ajax cart works, the blind_up and blind_down works. But couldn''t get the highlighting of the current item to work. Tested in Opera 9, FireFox 1.5 and IE 6 -- no luck !! I even

My vote is that you maintain the hyperlinks! While working through the book, the code hyperlinks are essential to make sure one knows which version of depotNN is being referred to at the moment, for example, and as a convenient way of reviewing the code. And it is very useful to jump to in-depth references. I found the hyperlinks very helpful. cheers, Victor Kane http://awebfactory.com.ar

Hi, I''m running the code example for ''Dynamically Updating a List'' in Agile pages 404-406: When I enter a new to-do, and click ''New Item'', a new page is rendered only displaying the new to-do just entered. This isn''t what''s expected. The to-do list with id="items" should be updated so the to-do list dynamically grows.

Oops, I guess wishful thinking got the best of me ;-) (I misread the part about the PDF upgrades) > Maybe the easiest solution is to buy the PDF ? You can then upgrade it for free when a new edition comes out. See > http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/starter_kit/faqs/pdf_update_faq.html > > I don''t think a lot of publishers do that, and no garage I have heard of

I just started to learn RoR because I need to create a relatively simple but important application due next month. The Shopping cart app in this book is going ok but I have a question.
