similar to: javascript that remote_function creates

Hi, Brand new to this so please excuse anything obvious that I don''t yet get. Here''s what I''m trying to do (This is all in a .rhtml file): As a simple test I create a local variable called ''localVariable'' and give it the string "Hello" like this; <% $localVariable = ''Hello'' %> Next I want to call a function

How can I do this? For instance, something like: <script ...> function check_duplicate(name) { <%= remote_function :url => {:action => ''check_duplicate'', :name => name } %> } </script> Obviously the above is just a dummy mockup. I have much more complex (and complete) sections of code that need to accomplish a task like this. Anyone know of a

Hi, What would my method call in an rjs template to produce something like: new Effect.BlindDown($(''commentList'').lastChild); I know if I just wanted to the blind effect I would: page.visual_effect :blind_down, "row_#{@new_item.id}" but how would I call it if I want the ".lastChild instead of passing a particular id? thanks, scott.

I''ve tried moving the code around in different ways, but so far I haven''t gotten remote_function to work for me (I''m using Rails 2.3.2 on my Mac).

Hi there! I did implemented the radio button with remote_function to update some div via RJS. It works perfect with FireFox, but behaves weird with IE. When I click the radio button it loads data (I see the indicator showing) but not updates the div with info until I click left mouse button anywhere. It''s weird =( Here is the snippet from .rhtml code <td>

Hi, I''ve noticed that my remote_function calls are resulting in POST requests. As a result, my routes do not apply since it does not generate a url based on the parameters, but simply posts to the raw url with post data. I want to make a GET request instead of a POST. How can I do that? Has anyone else run into this? Thanks, Ryan -- View this message in context:
