similar to: Redirect/rendering out of xhr

Hi everyone, I am a bit confused with xhr? and respond_to. I have the folloing code in my view to update the ''emails'' ID link_to_remote(image_tag("refresh"), :update => "emails", :url => { :action => "list_emails" }) in the controller side i have somthing like : [..] respond_to do |type| type.html { render :action

Right now I am using page.remove and page.insert for some complex nested moves in RJS. I have my draggables set to revert, but they also revert when they hit a droppable. Meaning, the draggable will start reverting for part of a second before the page.remove kicks in. Is there a way to specify :revert => false for the drop_receiving_element, or something else to that affect? -- Respectfully:

i have lots of divs, which are added via link_to_remote. now i want to delete them with a link_to_remote button for each. i am giving them ids with the same name and a serialized number. when trying to access them with javascript/rjs, strange things happen: "RJS Error: TypeError: $(element) has no properties?. is this a rails, rjs or prototype bug? or am i missing something? see my code

Ok i''ve done a bit of hunting around and I can''t find much documentation on how ensure an ajax call through an rjs file degrades with javascript off. Essentially, if javascript is off, I want to refresh the page and pass a variable from the controller to the page the user is on. Not use the rjs file. At the moment i have this: <%= link_to_remote("Advanced Search",

Hello, The documentation at api.rubyonrails.com for ActionController::TestProcess#xhr or xml_http_reponse gives method as the first parameter and action as the second parameter folled by the parameters hash, etc. But ActionController::Integration::Session#xhr has a path, followed by the parametes hash, and apparently no alias for xhr. Of course, the documentation in the AWDwR book would tend to

Dear everybody I''m trying to develop a web application that makes use of AJAX, but also works if a user has no (or doesn''t want to use) JS. For normal requests, this is pretty easy. Almost every action ends with render blahblah, :layout => !request.xhr? This way, I can use the same action to render a full page (with layout) as well as rendering an AJAX request (only the

Right now I have partials in a view folder corresponding with my controller. ie: controller: example, view: example/_partial.rhtml and I call it with render :partial => ''partial'' How do I add the partial to another folder and call it? ie: controller: example, view: example/new_folder/_partial.rhtml render :partial => ''new_folder/partial'' # does NOT work

I''m using the iframe trick to upload files with form_tag and a target pointing to the iframe. All is working, but I would like to display an indicator of the upload. All I want to do is show a hidden animated gif via Element.show. With form_remote_tag, i could use the :loading and :complete callbacks to do an Element.show and Element.hide. How do I achieve a similar effect with form_tag?

Hi all, In my application, I want seamless degradability so I use request.xhr? to check whether a request is an ajax call. However here and there, I need to use redirect_to - in this case the request is not xhr anymore, and the check doesn''t work as expected. Is there a way to make xhr- like redirect (which allow to get to another controller+action)? Thanks, - Chuong

I have a table showing some records from the database. These records should be always ordered by some datetime field. The list of items is changed by AJAX using RJS scripts and edits are done by showing and hiding an update form under a chosen row. Adding and updating rows works great but my problem is when the order of items is changed after making some AJAX datetime updates update forms of

I''m sure I''m missing something obvious, but I''m stumped. I have a tabbed nav bar with an associated content area that is used to display query results. Clicking a tab, rebuilds the nav bar with that tab now highlited, performs the query and renders the results to a separate div. I''m using an RJS template which calls page.replace_html with the various

Searched around this forum, but didn''t find an answer for this question. Can you help this newbie understand any overlap and/or difference between request.xhr? and respond_to? If request.xhr? is true, should I expect it wants.js below? respond_to do |wants| wants.html { redirect_to(person_list_url) } wants.js wants.xml { render :xml => @person.to_xml(:include

Hi guys, I really like RJS. I think they''ll replace partials in alot of instances. Unfortunately, because they''re automatically used like .rhtml and .rxml and are hard to specifically specify it makes it messy to preserve fallbacks when using them. For instance, using partials instead of rjs, my create method might look like: def create post = Post.new(params[:post]) ...

I''m uploading files to a mysql database, using a mediumblob size. Following the wiki here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUploadFiles , I got past the first mysql 500kb limitation with the max_allowed_packet = xM trick, setting it to 1000M. However, as the person at the very bottom of the wiki notes, I too cannot upload more than around 10mb. I also tried the suggested

link_to_remote generates the javascript: new Ajax.Updater(...). Have I missed something or doesn''t this handle browsers with javascript support but without XHR support? What I''d like to do is: 1. If the browser supports XHR, use XHR 2. If the browser supports javascript (and perhaps even if the XHR request fails) do a POST via javascript 3. If the browser doesn''t

AJAX is good for a lot of things, but javascript is not always available. I think the new RJS templates are very good: http://www.codyfauser.com/articles/2005/11/20/rails-rjs-templates And they could be used to create a simple, automatic no javascript fallback. An example: You have a controller called PostsController. There is an action "new". The view displays a form. The form

I am having trouble rendering a partial called ''names'' through a submit tag located within that partial. The form data is saving with my current code. However, the existing data is not loading into the form and the partial is not being re-rendered upon submission to reveal the changes to this data.What might I do to fix this? show.rhtml <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults

When a controller responds to a link_to_remote with a redirect_to, the link_to_remote gets a success callback, this would seem like a bug to me, at a minimum it should return a failure? This is driving me crazy because all the login engines/generators respond to an authentication error with a redirect_to. The work around is to change them to all do a render :layout => false, :status => 500

Hi there, I have a question regarding updating elements of a two different divs with one click. I have two lists. One list holds items that are entered into a contest, and the other list holds items that aren''t currently in the contest. One item can only be in one list at a time. Each list has a partial that renders the items with corresponding actions. The items in the current contest

I''ve pared my rjs experiment down to what seems a bare minimum. When I click on my link_to_remote, the rjs executes, returns the correct javascript to the browser, but it doesn''t update the div I''ve specified. What appears to be coming back from the controller is: Element.update("my_form", "hello, rjs"); I''m tearing my hair out.
