Good day. I have searched on the net and through the archives to now avail as of yet. I have a text_field_with_auto_complete that searches for company names. These company names obviously can have an ''&'' in the name of the company (example Barnes & Nobel). The auto complete works beautifully. However, the problem arises when I pass the name of the company to the

Good day all. This is one of the most frustrating days I have had with Rails in quite some time now (almost 8 months actually). Yesterday I complete my development and testing and everything is peachy. I head home for the evening and do my things there. This morning, I come back in and do my typical morning routine of starting up eclipse and the usual "ruby script/server" command in

Hello all. I don''t suppose some enterprising soul with much more skill than me has whipped up a "validates_dateness_of" (Complete with leap year calculations) method for use with all the other validation methods and wishes to spread much much joy?

I am building a small app that reuires some clever text pattern matching... In my controller, I''ll have a string that I will want to parse out to a datetime and a message, a la Google Calendar Quick Add. Examples: 10/30/2006 7pm message 10-30-96 7:00 pm message 10/30/2006 19:00pm message ... You see what I''m getting at. For a v1.0 release, I CAN publish some standards for

I''ve tried Time.parse() and DateTime.parse() but they interpret the date as US format. Is there any way to tell it to interpret as dd/mm/yyyy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m using scriptaculous to provide an auto complete textbox - and it works perfectly - but I was wondering if there was anyway to let users navigate the choices using the keyboard i.e the curor keys as opposed to having to use the mouse? Apart from that it''s perfect! :) Cheers, Pete -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This plugin gives ActiveRecord the ability to do stricter date checking. Example: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_date :date_of_birth end This will ensure that date_of_birth is a *valid* date. The date can be set initially as a string in any of the following formats: "2006-01-01" "1 Jan 06", or "1 Jan 2006" "1/1/06" # Day /

Hi, Does anyone know of a method to validate a DateTime field? I''ve looked at the validation docs and the validates_date / validates_time plug-in but I can''t find a method to validate a value in the format of yyyymmddhhmm. It seems like something that should exist already, so I''d just like to check before I attempt my own version... Cheers, Mark

Good day. I have spent almost 2 days on this issue. I have asked everyone from my Rails expert to my Javasript expert and we can not for the life of us figure out the issue with this one form element. I have a form which contains several readonly/disabled (firefox/ie) form elements. ALL elements in the form are updated correctly EXCEPT this one form element. The form element in the view looks as

I have done several searches via the web and all of my 13,000+ emails from the rails list. I can''t seem to find or discover exactly why the below syntax does not cause the app to call the get_supplier_address action in the controller. <%= text_field_with_auto_complete ( :supplier, :company_name, :after_update_element => "function(element,value){" +

Hey All, Anyone know of a library for parsing "human" dates, like "this friday" or "2 days ago"? I used to use strtotime in php, but starting from here; http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/PhpStrtotime and doing lots of googling, I haven''t been able to find anything similar for ruby. I know of javascript solutions to this, but I''d need to do

Can somebody tell me why the following RegExp doesn''t work for date validation in Rails... It validates fine in RadRails -- using REgExp panel.
