similar to: ajaxy select boxes and existing records

Hi all, I''ve been trying to figure this out by myself and while I feel I''ve made some progress, I feel kind of stuck. Let me see if I can explain what I''m trying to do. I have a very simple form with a text box and a text area. The text in each of these will eventually make it into a row in a table in my database. For now, the value in the text box represents a

Hi, Yet another newbie here... I''m writing an appliction in Rails, and I''ve Ajaxified my select boxes so they update dynamically. I used the "observe_field" method to monitor changes to my select box. I find that it''s kind of erratic... it updates constantly and makes the selection for me, based on where my mouse happens to be hovering when it does its

Hello Again Rails Folk! I''m trying to creat a page similar to what the person is doing here... http://mudabone.com/aietc/?page_id=410 Instead of doing it the way he/she has, I decided to use RJS files, or at least I tried. Here''s my view <%= start_form_tag %> <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %> <p> Union: <div id="union">

Hi everyone, I am a newbee in RoR and i could use some help. I have a select box populated by: <select name = "test_company" id = "test_company"> <option selected value=test.company.to_s>Create New </option> <%= options_for_select Company.find(:all, :conditions => ["name =?", test.company], :order => "id asc").collect{|c|

I want to load a form when a "select form" is changed. I have done this but it doesn''t work( i do not have an error but nothing change when i change the select list): in the view: <code><% form_tag :action => ''update'', :id => @cour do %> <!-- we choose the type of document (which will determine the form to include) -->

Before I waste more time trying to figure that out, I was wondering if it''s even possible? The Rails Way says that observe_field by default will trigger changes in text fields and text areas, and on clicks for radio buttons and check boxes. So perhaps I''m using the wrong tool here? Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you

I have a form where I dynamically add form elements based on user input. An example is that when a user selects a "server" from a select box I add (via AJAX calls back to server) a "type" select box pre-populated with valid choices for that server. I do this by using observe_field on the "server" field and update a div on the page with the new "type"

The subject pretty much says it all: I can''t?get observe_field to take a variable for a field name I''ve tried: <%= observe_field(var_name, ... <%= observe_field("#{var_name}", ... <%= observe_field(:"#{var_name}", ... No luck. Am I missing something? Thanks, : ) Jason -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m getting a really strange result using RJS page.replace_html and wonder if anybody knows anything that could help me figure it out. I''m rendering a partial in a loop in edit.rhtml that puts a set of <div>s on the page, each <div> containing a checkbox_tag with an associated observe_field and a text_field_tag also with an associated observe_field. When the

Hi, I have observers for a group of radio buttons, an observe_field for each radio button (I think its not possible to have one observe_field for a group of radio buttons). Now, the problem is that when I click on one radio button, all the observers get trigerred, so the method which the observe_field calls gets the wrong result. I just want that method to get the radio button that is

I'm looking to buy a new workstation, and it looks like Thinkmate makes what I need -- their vsx "virtually silent" variety. I hestitate because I wasn't happy with a laptop I bought a few years ago from a small outfit that sold Linux boxes exclusively. Does anyone have experience with Thinkmate, and in particular, the VSX line? If the later, is it really quiet. I run Centos

I have been trying to pass a collection_select parameter and a text field parameter to observe_field so that it watches both the parameters simultaneously. but what i can see is , when i select some value from drop down and dont write anything in text field its giving correct results.parameters are also correct passed, but just after that if i write something in text field that value also get

Hi- I''m trying to implement an auto-complete using Yahoo''s autocomplete server, which basically suggests search completions: http://ff.search.yahoo.com/gossip?output=fxjson&command={your searchterms}'' if you want to see the results in your browser, use xml instead: http://ff.search.yahoo.com/gossip?output=xml&command={your searchterms}'' So, I can

Hi, I m using the observe_field helper with the :function attribute. If I do the following everything it works without any issue: <%= observe_field ''select_gender'', {:function => "(value == ''2'') ? $(''record_ohrmarke'').value = ''a boy'': $(''record_ohrmarke'').value = ''a

I''ve done the ''Googling'' for days now to find an example of using two dependent select statements on a form where the user selects the parent record value and the observe_field ''kicks in'' to create another select that shows parent.children offerings. Is there anyone I can pay to provide me with the simplest example? If so, please contact me by email.

Hi all, I''ve just started working on another RoR project after a couple of months away. I''m having trouble with named routes, specifically root_* In previous apps I''ve used root_path and root_url without any problems, but in this project (2.3.2 - the same as my last project where I used it) it comes up undefined. I''ve double and triple checking my routes.rb,

Hi, I need to observe a set of radio buttons but am having great trouble. My observe_field looks like this: <%= observe_field :user_select, :frequency => 0, :url => { :action => :admin_control } %> Now it works fine if I use a text_field like this: <%= text_field :user, :select, "size" => 20, "maxlength" => 16 %> But I want a radio button, and

I''m sure this is a simple problem, but I''ve been working on it for a couple days and can''t seem to figure out the correct way to structure my observe_field call.
