similar to: Is there such a thing as button_to_remote?

I would really appreciate some help with changing a link_to_remote call to a button of some sort. Here''s a little background. On the page there are two <div>s. One is a form that lets the visitor enter items. The second <div> is where the entered items get displayed, each in it''s own item <div>. Each item <div> has two <span>s. The first one

All, I want to do an AJAX request using a custom image button. I currently have this as a standard button action using "button_to". What I need is the button equivalent of "link_to_remote". Is there a helper that I can use, or do I need to build it by hand? I see button_to_function(), but that sets me up to call a Javascript function, not post to a Rails action. Or can

Has anyone gotten the :html option for specifying a ''fallback'' action if javascript''s not enabled working on form_remote_tag (or remote_form_for)? I can''t figure out how to specify the action that''s supposed to be invoked if js _is_ enabled. Or maybe I''m just misunderstanding how this thing is supposed to work. I was assuming

I''m trying to use respond_to to redirect visitors who have JS turned off to a different page. The problem I''m having is that respond_to is sending *everybody* there. It''s not recognizing that JS is turned on in the browser. The wanted_html.rhtml file below is rendered whether I''ve got JS turned on or off. I''ve looked at the Accept headers being sent

I''ve been trying for days now to figure this out on my own, but I can''t, so this is my cry for help. Here''s my situation: I need to update multiple <DIV> elements on a page, each with its own HTML, but I just can''t figure out how to get it to work. That is, I want to replace everything within each <DIV> element with something new. When I try what

Hi, I''m creating a list of ingredients on a page. When the user clicks the ''Add Ingredient'' button a record gets added to the db and the ingredient gets added to the page. On the page, each record is represented by a <div> with three <span>s inside. One of the <span>s has a link_to_remote to ''delete'' the ingredient. When the link

I used RJS extensively in my last web app with no problem. I''m just beginning a new one and having a very odd problem. The called method, get_names, retrieves some values from the database, then ends: render :layout => false the get_names.rjs file is rendered into Javascript, but then is just dumped as Javascript (text) into the browser: e.g: try {

Ok i''ve done a bit of hunting around and I can''t find much documentation on how ensure an ajax call through an rjs file degrades with javascript off. Essentially, if javascript is off, I want to refresh the page and pass a variable from the controller to the page the user is on. Not use the rjs file. At the moment i have this: <%= link_to_remote("Advanced Search",

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

Hi, I have a page containing 3 views (2 are partials). One of the partials needs to have a button that will clear a table called "messages" in the database. I can put a button like this "<%= button_to "Clear Messages", :action => ''clear_messages'' %>" and have the controller do "Message.delete_all". But the problem is that the

I AM TRYING TO MAKE A DAMN TOGGLE BOX, BUT USING MY OWN GRAPHIC AND HAVING THE MOUSECLICK TRIGGER BOTH SWITCHING THE GRAPHIC (via AJAX) AND SAVING THE STATE IN THE DATABASE. I GOT IT ALL WORKING WITH NORMAL HTML GET CALLS TO THE SERVER, BUT I NEED IT TO BE AJAXIFIED SO THAT THE PAGE DOESN''T RELOAD. AND TO COMPLICATE MATTERS, IT HAS TO WORK IN A TABLE WITH AN ARBITRARY NUMBER OF ENTRIES,

Hi, Problem Summary: I have been trying to add the highlight effect to my table but everytime a new record is added the highlighting gives an rjs error. However when i click the add to cart button on a product that already exists inside the table, the highlight effect works. Is this because the partial must only have only one <tr></tr> in it and the <table> must be on the other

Hi All - I have a form_for that I''m trying to convert to remote_form_for, and I keep get this error: ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken (ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken): /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action_controller/request_forgery_protection.rb:86:in `verify_authenticity_token''

This is driving me nuts:-) I''ve brought it down to a simplified case where I''m rendering this rjs template: page.insert_html :top, ''cat1'', "<li>Some list item</li>" According to FireBug, this is what I''m actually getting in the browser: try { new Insertion.Top("cat1", "<li>Some list

Hi all, This is my first post to the list, so I hope it gets through and I don''t do anything wrong :) Here''s the issue I''m having... I have an rjs that''s doing: page.replace_html ''myid'', :partial => ''my_partial'' And in my my_partial I have: <script type="text/javascript">

I''ve been banging my head against the wall trying to update a table (add/delete rows) using Ajax. It seems simple enough but just doesn''t work for me. I can get it to work using DIVs instead of a table, but doing the layout with DIVs is much more cumbersome and I know it works for others with a table (though I haven''t been able to find an exact example code anywhere).

Greetings! I''m new to Ajax and am trying to get a basic app working as a vehicle for learning it. The app is an extension of the cookbook tutorial. My intent is to be able to add a list of ingredients for a recipe. The page to add ingredients uses Ajax. As ingredients are added to the page they''re displayed in a "green-bar" format like that used in the Depot

I am looking for a way to update the text-value within a textarea from an Ajax render call inside of a controller. Is there a way to do this without rendering an the partial containing the textarea? Thanks, Andy -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In my blog a user can add comments. I want an Ajax call to add the comment to the bottom of the comments list. How to i return a comment thats is in the comment template and add it to the bottom of the page. I have gotten as far as rendering some text back to the form and the comment doesn''t display until i refresh. This is my _newcomment.rhtml form to create a new comment <div

I suspect this has been asked 400 times, but Google yields 2-3 rather complex gymnastics in blogs (and possibly dated), and searching list archives on ruby-forum proves kinda useless. Using standard forms, it''s fairly easy to use @object.errors[:field_name] in the form to embed an error message right next to the field that has the invalid entry. The controller uses a simple conditional
