Hey everybody, I am trying to create a button that, when clicked on, calls a method in a controller then changes the image on the button without a page load.

Can anyone help me out with this problem? Thanks,

I have an full ajax app doing crud operations for contact info for one section. I was using ajax calls to edit and cancel and also to add a contact. I am implementing a button_to_function instead of doing an ajax call to just edit/add/or cancel a contact. I am running into a memory issue using the button_to_function or link_to_function. I have this: <%= link_to_function ''Edit

Hi All, Inside my app\views\expenses\new.html.erb file, I had the code: <% form_for(@expense) do |f| %> [snip] <p> <%= f.label :vendor %><br /> <%= f.text_field :vendor %> <br /> <div id="vendor_droplist> <%= select_tag "test", options_for_select(@current_vendors.collect { |v| v.nickname }), {:multiple

I''m trying to use button_to and have it use an image in place of the submit button. I had figured it would work the same as link_to like so: button_to(image_tag("editicon", :size => "16x16", :border => 0), :action => ''edit'', :id => person.id) but this instead displays the image code as the button name. Surely there is a simple way to

I''ve changed my destructive link_to statements in favor of button_to. But what if I want to make an .rjs call with that button? Seems like we need something equivalent to link_to_remote, so that the button can make an ajax request instead submitting the form. Or am I missing the point entirely?

Hi. I am writing an application that has a lot of boolean conditional display logic, like this: <% if user.description then %> <p class="css_class"><%= user.description %></p> <% end %> Often the displayed content is more complex than the above, and to clean up my views I am trying to pull a lot of this sort of thing into partials. However, the problem

I attached a rails helper implementation of the fb_table described here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Facebook_Styles I included testing and comments. I hope you find it useful.

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

Hello, Can I pass a variable from a submit button only? I have a form that the user fills out and I need two different submit buttons - one for ''sync'' and one for ''full push''.

I am running Rails 1.10 and wanted to check out the RJS templates. Rails doesn''t seem to find them. I did issue the rake comment update_javascripts and that did not correct the problem. RJS is part of 1.1 right? Any ideas? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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.

With form_tag submit buttons I use the " :disable_with => ''button label while processing'' " option so that visitors with slow connections aren''t able to submit forms twice. How do I do the same thing with button_to? I''ve got several pages where there are multiple forms on the page being updated with Ajax so I can''t wrap the whole

Hello, I''m writting some helper methods to write forms, so I have this working code: class TableFormBuilder < ActionView::Helpers::FormBuilder ["file_field", "password_field", "text_field"].each do |name| define_method(name) do |label, *args| @template.content_tag(:tr, @template.content_tag(:td, @template.content_tag(:label,

I''m calling button_to in my page, and it renders a form with a submit button just fine.

Is there a way to do it? -- Tim Slattery
