similar to: How to redirect to other action when it is called using ajax

Hi all, I wonder if it is somehow possible to execture or redirect to a controller function from RJS? Right now I do: def foo() render :partial => ''executeagain'' end _executeagain.rhtml <script> new Ajax.Updater(''elmntID'', ''/test/foo/'', {evalScripts:true}); </script> This will loop I know :) How can I achieve the same

I ran into this error message a quite a few times since my app requires branching to different pages from the same action... say using a switch statement. Ofcourse I found that you can use multiple redirects or renders if you do render :action => ''new'' and return false I hate to code something I don''t understand fully. Any explanation of this will be greatly

I am doing an Ajax call in my page to a controller method like so: new Ajax.Request(''<%= url_for(:action => "target_list_add" )%>'', { asynchronous:true });" In my controller method "target_list_add", I do something and then I say: redirect_to( :action => ''target_list_upload'', :layout => false ) I know for certain

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

Hello - I am fairly new to Ruby on Rails, but feel like I am learning quick. I have what seems to be a fairly unique issue as I cannot find much out there that describes what I''m seeing. Hopefully it''s a very simple fix, and I simply can''t see the forest through all the trees! I am attempting to create 2 related drop-down lists in the same form_for, both using

I am new to rails and want to learn the ''best practices'' up front. So I have a few questions and hope someone can help: 1. Using Ajax to update a div. The remote_function must call an action on a controller. This causes me two problems: 1.a The action is only ever used by the ajax call, but can now be accessed through the browser. I want ajax to call a method/action

Hi, I want to update a select box depending on another selected option thru ajax. Heres how I do it # _form.rhtml <select id="budget_coordinator_id" name="budget[coordinator_id]" onchange="<%= remote_function(:update => "budget_project_number", :url => { :action => :get_projects }) %>"> <%=

i don''t even know if this is possible, so I''ll just ask. say I have a remote form. the form data gets submitted to the backend via AJAX. if there is a validation error in the form, i handle that on the AJAX side. however, if the form validates, I''d like to redirect the browser to a different page. Will a redirect_to work with an AJAX call or do I have to handle that

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, - Chuong

I''m trying to add an application enabled/disabled flag in my application.. This is my code. [code=] # application.rb ... before_filter :check_enabled_flag private def check_enabled_flag application_flag = ApplicationFlag.find(:first) if application_flag.application_enabled redirect_to application_disabled_path and return end end[/code] and for some reason

I''ve tried moving the code around in different ways, but so far I haven''t gotten remote_function to work for me (I''m using Rails 2.3.2 on my Mac). I want to make an AJAX call when I double-click a word on my page, and the Javascript function is being called when the ondblclick event is fired, but nothing happens when it gets to my the "new Ajax.Request" part

Hi there, I need to have a checkbox which ajax-submits a form. The following code throws an error "index 112009 out of string". What''s wrong here? ============================================== <% form_remote_tag :url => { whatever_url } do -%> <%= check_box_tag ''whatever'', nil, whatever, { :onclick =>

I have a login form, in which I use a "form_remote_tag". I''m redirecting users to this form when they fail authentication as well... and using the "jumpto" method of capturing they original URL they requested via request.parameters, and redirecting to this URL after they authenticate. Problem is, if I try to do a "redirect_to", this won''t work, as

I''ve got a form on my page, and when the user submits it, sometimes I''d like to update an element on my page, and sometimes I''d like to redirect the browser to another url entirely. However if I do redirect_to, it just updates the element with the results of the redirect. Is it possible to do what I want, or will I need to use RJS to do this? Pat

When a controller responds to a link_to_remote with a redirect_to, the link_to_remote gets a success callback, this would seem like a bug to me, at a minimum it should return a failure? This is driving me crazy because all the login engines/generators respond to an authentication error with a redirect_to. The work around is to change them to all do a render :layout => false, :status => 500

Hi, Is there a simple way to redirect towards another page (controller, action) when using form_remote_tag ? I used it tipically to check fields of a account login form. I''d like if the user exists, he''s redirected towards another page, otherwise I display some error div''s. Any ideas ? Thanks a lot. Seb

Hi, I have a standard type authentication technique direct from AWDWR, so there is a before_filter :authorize_employee, :except => :login in my employees_controller.rb the authorize_employee is in application.rb def authorize_employee unless session[:employee_id] flash[:notice] = "Please log in" # save the URL the user requested so we can hop

This is my code and I am trying to call remote function when somebody click on add button after selecting something from select_tag. Please tell me where I am wrong ?

I have a table and when I mouseover a row I want a pop-up with some additional information for that specific row (called remotely). I can do this easily with something along the lines of... onmouseover="<%= remote_function(:updated => "notediv", :loading => " Element.show(''note'');", :url => {:action => ''get_note'', :id

This one''s kicking me in the *(&#^. All I want to do is create a draggable item and then detect the coordinates where it is dropped. So my first approach was to just use the draggable_element with :revert => false, like so: <%= draggable_element "my_element", :revert => false %> That works great and lets me drag stuff all over the place.
