This is related to Selenium/Watir usage along side webrat in story testing. MHS_Testing and Rspec-ui provide some great help for testing through frameworks like Selenium/Watir. But there is something missing, Webrat has changed the landscape somewhat with Acceptance Tests/Story Driven development. Now I have a choice: 1. Tests and rails process run as one test process (Webrat) 2. Use

Still a semi-newbie, but so far I''ve managed to solve most things with a bit of help from the Agile book, some googling around, and a bit of trial-and-error, but I''m really stuck with this one (very much an Ajax newbie): I know how to gracefully degrade an AJAX newpost type call so it can appear inline or (for those without JS support) go to a new page (put an ":href

Hi! I try to get AJAX running on a mobile Windows Mobile 5.0 based device and failed. There should be a JavaScript support but nothing happens. Have any of you experience with the rails javascripts on a this platform or are there any hints, documentation on the net? tia, -- Daniel V?lkerts Protected by Anti Pesto.

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

I have an Ajax responder method which uses respond_to to make sure it only works with Ajax. I''m having trouble figuring out how to call this action successfully. I''m using Rails 1.2.x. Any thoughts? -- Cheers, Kevin Williams http://www.almostserio.us/ "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic." - Arthur C. Clarke

When a controller responds to a link_to_remote with a redirect_to, the link_to_remote gets a success callback, this would seem like a bug to me, at a minimum it should return a failure? This is driving me crazy because all the login engines/generators respond to an authentication error with a redirect_to. The work around is to change them to all do a render :layout => false, :status => 500

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

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 all, I have been developing some ajax stuff all week. Just this morning the ajax calls quit working in Safari, and Firefox. I backed out to a last known working state and they still were not working, so I added some handlers to see if I could sniff out the problem. ... onException: function(transport){$ ("serversaid").innerHTML=transport.toJSONString();}, onFailure:

Hi, I''ve never posted here before so please forgive me if I''m not observing proper decorum, yadda yadda yadda :-) I''ve ran into a very, very strange bug with Prototype I wanted to share and see if anyone else has seen this. In a few of my projects involving Ext JS, I''m using the TreePanel control, which uses AJAX to load child nodes asynchronously. Because I

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? --

Hello, I''m interested in learning the correct/smart approach for implementing a web page with tabs and a content panel... When the tab is clicked by the user the tab''s content is fetched and inserted with jQuery... no page refresh... Example, Facebook, when you click Photos or Events, it doesn''t refresh the browser, just replaces the content with AJAX in the

For the life of me I can''t figure this one out, although I can''t find anyone else who''s attempted to do this, and probably with good reason. Context: blog using AJAX What I''m trying to do: when the user initially saves a blog entry, or when auto-saving, I want subsequent saves to not create a new blog entry Why I can''t just reload the partial: -

I am using the firebug plugin to debug my javascript code, and I get the following message while debugging. Anyone familiar with this error? See my code below: <title>My Test </title> <script src="json.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="prototype.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Hello, I am updating an object with an AJAX form: view: <% remote_form_for(@sample, :update => "content2") do %> <p> parameter: <br /> <%= select("sample","parameter",Parameter.find(:all).collect {|p| [p.description.gsub(''_'', '' ''),p.id]},{},{:size => 4, :multiple => true}) %>

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(){

For a company study I am trying to come up with what would one need to replicate *grosso modo and at the functional level* what we get in Rails. This does not need to be an "equivalent" solution, just what a Java programmer would build upon, the canonical aggregation of components, the usual tools. My first fraft is: Struts -> C layer Hibernate -> M

Hello everyone, I''m a newbie at Ruby on Rails. I spent nearly two days of the Memorial Day weekend stumbling upon making Ajax working in Rails. At this point, I''m so exhausted and hope that I can get some help to move forward. I have tried nearly everything I found on Google but still not successful. Initially, I tried the Ajax approach offered by Rails but did not work, so I

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
