Hi! I know that the web is essentially stateless, so I was wondering about how lost connections can be managed. I have an application that posts data to a web form. This form has a large number of items (about 38) and I''m a bit concerned about the connection being lost while posting the data. Is it safe to assume that the web application will reject the transmission if the right

I have two problems. I have a comment that has_many uploads. Before saving the comment, I want to be sure that the upload(s) has passed validation, but I also need to validate in other ways.

Hey all, How can I call a javascript function from my controller? Is it possible to simply call a javascript function from directly in the controller without needing an AJAX request to come through via link_to_remote or remote form?
