similar to: Accessing form field contents

Hi Guys, Maybe this is a stupid question, but I am confused at the moment. The $F() function is a handy shortcut to get the value of the an input field. So, doing something like $F(''name'') is equivalent to document.formname.name.value which is pretty cool. Now, what if I have 2 forms on the page, that same field name "name"? What would $F return? It does not take

I''ve been hunting the web and reading the mailing lists all day but I''m not finding any guidance on this problem. When I try to talk to my mongrel it simply responds with NOT FOUND and nothing else. I can''t find anything on google because this has to be the second most commond phrase in existence. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Chuck Vose

I am brand-new to RoR and have only followed and replicated the few tutorials that are out there. I have searched and searched, but cannot find an answer to this simple question: How can you list records in descending order? I have the cookbook example loaded, but can''t seem to list the recipes in reverse order (by the primary key - id). Thanks ahead of time for any and all help. --

Hi, I have a simple program that tries to do something really basic. First, I have a company Model : ------------------------------------- class Company < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :billingAddress, :foreign_key=>"id", :class_name=>"Address" end Then I have the address Model : -------------------------------------- class Address< ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to

I''m doing very well with the Hibbs Rolling on Rails tutorial. I have an easy question for my personal notes. I''m coming up with a simple framework of steps for creating a basic database. It includes the following maxims to make original app creation easy: app_name = MySQL database name SQL_tablename = model_name model_name = controller-name Is this going to work for getting

I use file_column and it works fine. I tried to change the store_dir to a the path I want my files to be stored and not the default. I stored some images fine. But when I try to reach my images it seems like file_column uses the model_name/attribute_name on the image and not the store_dir I used. How can I change this ? Thanks in advance -- Alexander Antonakakis

Where can I find more information about the new syntax on these: <%- model_class = @product.class -%> <h1><%=t ''.title'', :default => t(''helpers.titles.new'', :model => model_class.model_name.human, :default => "New #{model_class.model_name.human}") %></h1> <%= render :partial =>

I''m rewriting the code to my first app. I want to reuse a lot of it, but tidy it up a lot. The first thing I will tackle is my nav-bar. Throughout a user''s experience on my app, I want it to reload as little as possible (I''ll have about 7 or 8 controllers with about 70 actions). So, I''ve thought of a few ways of doing it, and was wondering if you guys

Hi, I am using gettext to let my web application know several languages. All works fine, but since I integrated it, my functional tests don''t work any more. I keep getting the error message: NoMethodError: undefined method `cgi'' for #<ActionController::TestRequest:0xb77f7f88>. All right, TestRequest doesn''t have a cgi method. Therefore I just included this into

I have a Rails app that is a directory indexer. It passes the desired directory path in the url. There is a user table, and a permissions table (which contains the volumes each user has permission to see). There is also a volume table, which contains the available volumes, and a path table, which contains the paths to every file available on the machine. [There are other tables, but these

Hi guys, I found the troblue and fix it! I attached the patch. The trouble was in the command reply buffer use. You compute the value that value = reply[6]*256+reply[5] <- it's wrong The right solution: value = reply[5] * 256 + reply[6]; And other bug, battery.runtime compute, you divide this value 60 <- it's wrong right value: divide 1.0 I continue the work on this

i have these two really similar methods in my addressbook controller. def edit_company @company = Company.find(params[:id]) if request.post? and @company.update_attributes(params[:company]) flash[:notice] = ''Company was successfully edited.'' redirect_to :action => ''show'', :id => @company end end def edit_person

I''m trying to get a collection_select generated Drop-down box to display two fields from a table (first name & last name); however, I am having trouble concatenating the symbols. It appears as though any code I put in the 5th argument for collection_select is processed prior to executing the collection_select method. The code executes successfully with 1 symbol in the 5th

I''m trying to get my Ruby on Rails application to work under Apache. It works fine when run as WEBrick ("ruby script/server"). As suggested in http://www.ocssolutions.com/support/ruby/troubleshooting-ruby-on-rails.php , I tried running dispatch.fcgi on the command line. When I run it, no matter where I run it, it outputs: 500 Internal Server Error Both the #! (shebang)

Yes, offcourse, the 172.19 is a "bad" example. I suggest we use the official RFC 1918 zones. 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 And for example 192.168.0.0/24 as extra, or people get confused. ;-) Greetz, Louis > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: samba [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] Namens > Rowland penny via samba > Verzonden: woensdag 7

Hi, I''m just learning Ruby on Rails and ran into something where I know I''m either doing something very stupid or I''m missing something. My model as a boolean attribute called active_flag. In my Sql Server database this is stored as a bit value. I then setup a method in my controller called "deactivate". This is very simple, it does: def deactivate

Hello, I''m having an issue with getting embedded javascript code to actually run when loaded via an Ajax.Request() call and the callback function inserts the generated HTML and js code to my current page. It seems that the javascript code is not properly parsing. For example, I''m using the following function showinfo() to return some html code. function showInfo(go_url){

Here''s what I''m trying to do. I have two divs, one holds about 20 small images of products and the other holds a single large image of one of the products. I''m trying to use the jazzy "new Effect." way of changing images but I can''t seem to get it too work. My script is replacing the image and then making the element disappear. What

I am making an ajax call from js to call a method (assocboxchange) in my controller (AssociatesController), using XMLHttpRequest. I know the XMLHttpRequest works fine because I use it in other places with success. My problem is my URL I am using for this request doesn;t access the method in my controller which I (think) I am specifying. I am having it post to /channels/assocboxchange/" with

Howdy all Apologies to the folks subscribed to the globalize list for dual posting this message... I''ve got a project running globalize and rails 1.1.4, and I''ve only recently adopted a strong love for testing. Now my models are 100% tested (I must note that I do not make use of any translations in the database yet), and I''ve now started with functional tests before
