similar to: Catching "keypress" event with observe_field

Is anyone else finding it frustrating to do in Ruby client-side things that would be simple in Javascript? It seems like all of the "helpers" involve server (controller) communication. For example, having a text field that just echos below what the user types. Is this the only way to do it? <div id=''word_panel''> <%= text_field_tag

I can''t make it work. <%= text_field_tag :friend %> <%= observe_field :friend, :url => friendships_url, :on => :click %> <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> Raises the error:Can''t find variable Form. The generated html is: <input id="friend" name="friend" type="text" /> <script

Greetings! What is up with the syntax of this thing? I mean, if the only thing I can send back using :with is the field being observed, then why in the world is the syntax so convoluted? For example, what I''ve been able to get working is: <%= text_field_tag(''date'', illness_date, :size => 30) %></p> <%= observe_field(''date'', :url

Folks, When I use observe_field, I get a javascript error "Form is not defined". Any thoughts? __View: search.rhtml__ <label for="search">Search:</label> <%= text_field_tag :search %> <%= observe_field(:search, :frequency => 0.25, :update => :search_hits, :url => { :action =>

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 all, we are writing a cross browser Javascript control that enhances the HTML text input element in order to accept only digits (more or less). Supposing that ''domText'' is the DOM element corresponding to the HTML text input, we wrote the following: Event.observe(domText, "keypress", this.onKeyPress.bindAsEventListener(this)); where this.onKeyPress =

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! is it possible to make a drag dependent on a KeyPress event? I couldn''t find any information on that on the script.aculo.us website.

Hi. Is there any straightforward way to tell pointer position (x, y) upon keypress? In original wxWidgets, wxKeyEvent supports GetX() and GetY() methods, but wxRuby''s KeyEvent object does not have one. I also checked with event.methods and event.instance_variables. Do I need to keep track of pointer position by evt_motion? -- Taisuke Yamada <tyamadajp@spam.rakugaki.org>,

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"
