http://canadaonrails.com/ (when you hover over news and events) I''ve seen this implemented on a few rails sites now and I was just wondering if it is just a simple javascript from the prototype library.

I''m writing a Rails plugin that builds up a menu in a view. I''m using *link`_`to* to build the link and *current_page?* to set class="active" on the current page. I''ve *include*d *ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper* so I can use *link`_`to*. To get *current`_`page?* working in the view, I''ve had to inherit the current class (apparently ActionView::Base)

Rails 1.2.3 It appears that the select_year helper doesn''t accept HTML attributes as part of the options array.

I have an application where I am allowing users to upload (or refer the app. to) arbritrary HTML that I am (currently) displaying in an IFRAME on a page. The users will be authenticated so it''s not open to the entire universe. I was always uneasy with this, but after reading the security chapter of AWDWR, I am even more concerned. What kinds of applications do people have out there

All, I have a little namespace collision here. I am trying to use both RubyfulSoup (an HTML parser - which I highly recommend by the way) and the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper class. Within the TextHelper class, there''s an attempt to create a new "Tag" object. However, Tag is also defined in the RubyfulSoup gem and it is _this_ Tag class whose initialize method is

Hi, I would like to ask how to override validation functionality in RoR? In active_record_helper.rb class there is "hardcoded" default html generated durning validation. If I will use {code:ruby} validates_presence_of :summary, :description {code} in my model class, there is html generated: {code:html} <div class="errorExplanation"

I''m having trouble succesfully getting access to the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper.strip_tags method from one of my controllers. If I try to call it directly using ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper.strip_tags I get undefined method `strip_tags'' for ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper:Module What is the preferred way to make ActionView helpers available to a descendant of

All, I have a left navigation partial that I want to dynamically generate CSS classes for based on the current controller action.

I have a regular plain old static HTML file under my RAILS_ROOT that I would like to serve as itself (without any dynamic anything). How can I write a route to "pass the request through" succesfully. I tried map.connect ''path_to_file'', :controller => nil, :action => nil, :id => nil but that didn''t work. Also, note that I have this route

All, I''m attempting to use "form_tag_with_upload_progress" http://railsmanual.org/module/ActionView::Helpers::UploadProgressHelper/form_tag_with_upload_progress However, I''m having a hard time understanding what I''m supposed to provide and where in order to take advantage of it.

All, I''m finally doing my first real form in Rails - the model object that I''m entering information for has 8 validations so far. If I type in good values for all the fields but one, I get the pretty validation, and the nice field highlighting, but all of the fields are cleared, forcing me to retype all of that info. That is a big drag. Is there a standard way to get the

All, My apologies if this is a little long-winded and stream of consciousness-y :). SUMMARY: Why do we extend ActiveRecord instead of mixing it in to our model classes? Been thinking about my app''s models and starting to want to build something of a hierarchy. I have some commonality across 3 of my model classes and I''d liek to aggregate the behavior in a superclass.

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.
