Hi everyone, I am a bit confused with xhr? and respond_to. I have the folloing code in my view to update the ''emails'' ID link_to_remote(image_tag("refresh"), :update => "emails", :url => { :action => "list_emails" }) in the controller side i have somthing like : [..] respond_to do |type| type.html { render :action

Searched around this forum, but didn''t find an answer for this question. Can you help this newbie understand any overlap and/or difference between request.xhr? and respond_to? If request.xhr? is true, should I expect it wants.js below? respond_to do |wants| wants.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) } wants.js wants.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include

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

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

Hi I have a window that looks like this -------------------- | | Enter -------------------- That box will take a command that the user enters and runs it on a server in the background loading a new window for the user to view the results. Is there a way to take multiple xhr requests so that the next request the user enters , a new window will pop up right away, instead of

Getting a strange error. In a story I have the following step: When "I submit a search name" do xhr :post, ''/searches'', {:search => {:given_name => "bob", :family_name => "smith"}} end I am getting: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (4 for 3) stories/searching_story_spec.rb:45 in "I submit a search name" But I only

Saw a lot of recommendations for Firebug (http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/) on this list. I''ve scanned its docs and tried it--many useful features. But I''m so dense that I can''t get it to spy XHR/AJAX requests and their response on FC5 running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Firebug 0.4. Can someone tell me how to get to

Hello, The documentation at api.rubyonrails.com for ActionController::TestProcess#xhr or xml_http_reponse gives method as the first parameter and action as the second parameter folled by the parameters hash, etc. But ActionController::Integration::Session#xhr has a path, followed by the parametes hash, and apparently no alias for xhr. Of course, the documentation in the AWDwR book would tend to

link_to_remote generates the javascript: new Ajax.Updater(...). Have I missed something or doesn''t this handle browsers with javascript support but without XHR support? What I''d like to do is: 1. If the browser supports XHR, use XHR 2. If the browser supports javascript (and perhaps even if the XHR request fails) do a POST via javascript 3. If the browser doesn''t

Hi. I am trying to do an ajax link in Rails 3.2.1 and jQuery. I am loading jquery.js and jquery_ujs.js. In my document ready, if I bind to the event "click," clicking the link fires an event, but if I click to ajax:beforeSend, it doesn''t. Nothing happens when you click the link in JQuery. The event does go to the controller, though. Works: $(document).ready(function(){

Hi, I have a link_to_remote to an action in my controller, which has an rjs file associated with it. In the action (where @request.xhr? is true), I have tried to redirect to another page or render to another page. When I do this, the log says all the redirections/renders were successful, but I remain on the same page. My rjs file at least does not execute though, which is good. Any ideas on

Railsters: The assert_select system has a submit_form method that reads your current page''s form, and submits all its fields with their data. This works great for Test Driven Development because it tests your current page''s form and your controller''s action at the same time. Is there a submit_form that calls xhr, to submit a FORM thru Ajax? How easy would that be to

I have the following tag in a view:- <%= form_tag url_for({:controller => params[:area], :action => :search, :area => params[:area] }), :method => :get, :remote => true do %> <%= label_tag(:query, "Search for:") %> <%= text_field_tag("query", params[:query], :autocomplete => "off", :onKeyPress=>"return

Hi I just wondered if there was a reason why Rails controller specs are not shareable? eg describe "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote", :shared => true do controller_name :gap # ... end describe "XHR POST /gap/calculate_quote with valid details" do it_should_behave_like "All XHR POSTs to /gap/calculate_quote" # ... end blows up with

... ok, I may be going about this the wrong way, or perhaps, a less efficient way than is optimal, but I would like to test a little bit of AJAX on one of my web pages. When I test this by hand, I bring up the page which shows a select box, I select an item from the drop down list, see another select box show up, go back to the first select box, select a different item, and see something

I''m using rails3. It does not seem to check the authenticity_token when doing a POST using Ajax. I traced this to: module ActionDispatch class Request < Rack::Request ..... def forgery_whitelisted? get? || xhr? || content_mime_type.nil? || ! content_mime_type.verify_request? end end so you don''t check if its a get? or a xhr? (ie ajax request). Is this correct? --

Hi all, This question might be a long shot, but I''m going to ask it anyway. In my application, I''ve created a before_filter that does some magic. It looks like this: if request.xhr? then render :update do |page| page.redirect_to url_for_thingy end else redirect_to redirect_to url_for_thingy end This works perfectly, however, I have one annoyance. On the server side,

Hello! First, thank you Julian for the useful plugin ''unicode_hacks'' < http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/unicode_hacks/>. I have found some problems running my app in development on Webrick and looking at it with Safari (MacOS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2). Some files are sent with different sizes (e.g. default css example, or controls.js ), and it

Hello all, I am getting Really Simple History working in rails. I''ve got this history content up etc, but I am a bit lost on how to capture the XHR response data from the Rails app to insert into the history. My understanding would be to have some way of grabbing the response data from the Rails app, inserting that into the history with dhtmlHistory.add(''PageName'',
