Cheers, I uploaded my Ruby presentation that I held in March for some colleagues to my blog. The presentation is an introduction and overview to Ruby in German. There is also a small part about Ruby on Rails but the focus is on the features on Ruby. Maybe it''s of use for somebody. You can find it here: http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2005/05/29/my-ruby-presentation Jonathan --

Cheers, I have some elements inside a div with overflow:auto. When I trie to drag them outside of the div, the div starts to scroll. Is there a way to stop this behaviour for drag and drop? I thought of maybe using callback to disable the overflow and restoring it againg after the drop. Did someone implemented something like this? Thanks, Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss

I see at some point recipes were changed from project-associated to stage-associated, is there some explanation or examples of that use-case? Could I request we have both? In my current cap scripts, we don''t have any stage-specific recipes, but maybe I''m just not understanding this completely. On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 1:04 PM, Jonathan Weiss

I have the following code: <script type="text/javascript"> Event.observe(window, ''load'', function() { var updater = new Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater(''chatbox'', ''chat.php'', {method: ''get'', asynchronous: true, frequency: 0.55, decay: 2, onSuccess: function(){$(''chatbox'').scrollTop=$

I''m trying to call a simple javascript function from within an observe_field. It is possible to replace the :url with :function to call a function. But since there are no examples, and I''ve tried a bunch of iterations, can someone show me sample syntax? I''d like to do something like: <%= observe_field :FormOptions1, :frequency => 0.25,

I am developing an application in German. This means I have umlauts. When I was using rails version 0.13.1 there seemed to be no further configuration needed for umlauts to be shown correctly. Now I have upgraded to 0.14.2 and the umlauts are being displayed at ''?''s. I changed the encoding of the page and it is UTF-8. I have also tried the steps listed at

I hadn't noticed any interactive slowdown, but when I got around to running the notmuch performance suite, there seems to be some noticable slowdown with the glass backend (default in Xapian 1.3.5) compared to chert (using xapian 1.2.22) These tests are on an older i7 with 12G of RAM and an SSD. I'm reasonable confident they are CPU bound. One curious thing is the increase in system time

Cheers, I''ve just published a blog post about scaling Rails with Apache 2.2, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel. This way you do not need another proxy server or load balancer for Mongrel. Just use Apache 2.2 and mod_proxy balancer. http://blog.innerewut.de/articles/2006/04/21/scaling-rails-with-apache-2-2-mod_proxy_balancer-and-mongrel Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss

Is there a way to get access (via javascript) the page elements that were populated with AJAX (observe_field)? If you look at my source I have: <select name="resource[sub_focus_id]" id="resource_sub_focus_id"></select> But the actual select menu is filled with options because I used the observe_field to fill in the options. Now I want to be able to access

I have a form with a text area. I want to have an observer watch the text area and update a div with the running count of characters in the text area. I tried "onchange" but that doesn''t update until you leave the text area. I was able to get it working using AJAX, but it''s silly to make a needless round trip to the server, when the page already knows

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/.

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 all. I am trying to work with restful rails and have come across a quandry with observe_field. I basically want the observe field to call a show action on a restful controller. However I am unable to do so because I cannot get the damn thing to use the get request properly. If I use the following: <%= observe_field("project_selector", :update =>

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"

I can''t get observe_field to do anything with my date_select. Here''s the rhtml code: <%= date_select ''course'', ''lab_start_date'' %> <%= observe_field(:course_lab_start_date, :frequency => 0.5, :update => :course_lab_start_date_div, :url => { :action => ''preview_text''}) %> My

Hi I''ve just started experimenting with AJAX in Rails and have come across this issue. I''m trying to set up some ajax form validation on a login form. I set up an observe_field method for the username field but the action for the containing form is being called and rendered instead of the action I specify in the observe_field method. All of the observe_field examples

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 have a page that has a dropdown which i''m using observe_field on to make an ajax call back to my controller. The page initially displays fine. The method is invoked in my controller when i select a choice in the dropdown and I have an rjs file which is then invoked. The rjs file looks like this: page.replace_html ''embed_calendar'', :partial =>
