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.

Hi: does button_to_function allow the use of an image? I tried it in place of the text with "image_tag" and it doesn''t work. Maybe some form of button_to? Any direction you can give would be great!

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

Given three models: a design model, a votes model, and a users model the problem is a user can only vote for a design once. If I do a validates_uniqueness_of :user in the votes model that means a user can only vote once, period. What I want is to say a user can only vote for a single design once. Anyone know the best way to do this? Thanks. JB

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

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?

I have a site with a complex database and about 10 models. The main page of the site has around 5 tables/models bringing data in, so conceptually it seems like I should use a controller on each model. Is there a way to render multiple controllers on a page or am I going about this the wrong way. I''d like to keep the size of my controllers down so writing the entire application in one

Can you have a Javascript function with a param that''s defaulted if it isn''t present? function X(a, b = false, c = ''dog'') { } X(5) calls X with a=5, b=false, c=''dog'' X(4, true) calls X with a=4, b=true, c=''dog'' X(3, true, ''cat'') calls X with a=3, b=true, c=''cat'' ? -- Posted via

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, Brand new to this so please excuse anything obvious that I don''t yet get.

Is the remote_function still valid in Rails 3 as it seems many of the Prototype helpers have been replaced ? (link_to_remote, ...) where can I find any link on it ? not in the standard doc I guess .. thanks for you feedback -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Hi there! I did implemented the radio button with remote_function to update some div via RJS. It works perfect with FireFox, but behaves weird with IE.

It''s weird =( Here is the snippet from .rhtml code <td>
