Hi folks, I have following in my view : =================== <div class="foo"> <%= select ''theme'', "id", Theme.find_all.collect {|t| [ t.name, t.id ] }, { :prompt => ''Select a theme'' } %> </div> <%= observe_field( :theme_id, :update => :my_style, :url => { :action => :themelookup, :id => @space,},

I''m sure this is a simple problem, but I''ve been working on it for a couple days and can''t seem to figure out the correct way to structure my observe_field call. The HTML and Javascript generated all appear correct, but the AJAX call is never made. Below is the code I''m using and any help would be much appreciated. models_controller.rb def

Hi, I''m trying to do a very simple slide_down effect with RJS templates. Basically a user selects a check box and a text box slides down. This works great in firefox, but causes IE to crash. The text box appears and slides down. Then the browser crashes. the in the partial is <div id=''forklift_div''> <label for=''incident_forklift''>Was

I want to use observe_form to automatically save notes in a text_area. This is the code I have: <form id=''notes_form''> <%= text_area :contact, :notes, :cols => 40, :rows => 10, :id =>''notes_text_area'' %> <%= observe_form(''notes_form'', :frequency => 1,

I’ve been spending a great deal of time chasing this problem. Hopefully someone sees something obvious I’m doing wrong. Basically anytime I try to call fields_for from an RJS file or within a partial in the RJS file, I get the following error. My goal is simply to load a partial into a div. The fields in this partial require fields_for though. And that’s where the problem lies.

I''m using update_field to update a <div> with the contents of a text_area as it''s updated by the user (a-la-Typo preview style). I''m now trying to preload the <div> so that it shows the contents of the field being edited even if that field doesn''t get edited. In other words, update_field is only called if the field is updated, but I want the

I want to load a form when a "select form" is changed. I have done this but it doesn''t work( i do not have an error but nothing change when i change the select list): in the view: <code><% form_tag :action => ''update'', :id => @cour do %> <!-- we choose the type of document (which will determine the form to include) -->

Hi, If I have @answers in my Controller, which is an array of Answer model objects which don''t exist in the DB yet... How do I bind a text_area helper in the View to each Answer? (I''m pre-filling some of the Answers with other data people need to verify before submitting and will insert on POST.) I''ve been able to get the textareas to render but not with the

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

hi group, I am making a little rails app to experiment with rails. It consists of one model, item, that represents an item on a todo list. A todo item has a description, a state (finished or not) and a due date. After changing the scaffold screens a bit, I wanted to be able to have no due date. I tried to do this by making a radio button; if ''no date'' is selected, the date

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"

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/.

I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form

I have a text_area to accept upto 1000 chars, which is stored as a blob in mysql. When I try to display the saved data, I dont see the new line characters - however I could see the newline characters in EDIT MODE. So my newline char is lost during displaying. Any ideas how to fix it. thanks thila -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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, I have observers for a group of radio buttons, an observe_field for each radio button (I think its not possible to have one observe_field for a group of radio buttons). Now, the problem is that when I click on one radio button, all the observers get trigerred, so the method which the observe_field calls gets the wrong result. I just want that method to get the radio button that is

Hello, What''s the best way to handle formating of a text_area?
