Saw a lot of recommendations for Firebug (http://www.joehewitt.com/software/firebug/) on this list. I''ve scanned its docs and tried it--many useful features. But I''m so dense that I can''t get it to spy XHR/AJAX requests and their response on FC5 running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and Firebug 0.4. Can someone tell me how to get to

In my controllers I have a respond_to block for both fbml and fbjs. I created the fbjs mime type in environment.rb: Mime::Type.register "application/javascript", :fbjs However, even if I specify fbjs in a parameter name format during AJAX post requests, it is being overwritten by Rails or Facebooker as FBML. I confirmed this by placing logger.debug params[:format] immediately before

Hi all, I''m submitting a form using jQuery, but in the respond_to block only the format.html action is called. This is the javascrip: send_button.on(''click'', function(){ var form = $(this).closest(''.modal'').find(''form''); $.post(''/messages'', form.serialize(), function(data, status, xhr){

I''m trying to use respond_to to redirect visitors who have JS turned off to a different page. The problem I''m having is that respond_to is sending *everybody* there. It''s not recognizing that JS is turned on in the browser. The wanted_html.rhtml file below is rendered whether I''ve got JS turned on or off. I''ve looked at the Accept headers being sent

Hello, I am updating an object with an AJAX form: view: <% remote_form_for(@sample, :update => "content2") do %> <p> parameter: <br /> <%= select("sample","parameter",Parameter.find(:all).collect {|p| [p.description.gsub(''_'', '' ''),p.id]},{},{:size => 4, :multiple => true}) %>

Hi, Here''s two blog posts for those that need to test respond_to blocks and/or are currently using simply_helpful extensively. http://blog.methodmissing.com/2006/11/22/testing-different-content- types-with-rspec http://blog.methodmissing.com/2006/11/23/using-simply_helpful-with- rspec-controller-tests - Lourens

I have an Ajax responder method which uses respond_to to make sure it only works with Ajax. I''m having trouble figuring out how to call this action successfully. I''m using Rails 1.2.x.

Getting a strange error. In a story I have the following step: When "I submit a search name" do xhr :post, ''/searches'', {:search => {:given_name => "bob", :family_name => "smith"}} end I am getting: ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (4 for 3) stories/searching_story_spec.rb:45 in "I submit a search name" But I only

Got a quick question regarding the latest and greatest: module ActionController module Routing SEPARATORS = %w( / ; . , ? ) Why is period (.) one of the separators? As it stands, the new routing code doesn''t recognize ''file.ext'' as the last component of a URL, which is sometimes defaulted to nil. See the generated code below. I don''t know everything

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

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

Hello everyone, I''m a newbie at Ruby on Rails. I spent nearly two days of the Memorial Day weekend stumbling upon making Ajax working in Rails. At this point, I''m so exhausted and hope that I can get some help to move forward. I have tried nearly everything I found on Google but still not successful. Initially, I tried the Ajax approach offered by Rails but did not work, so I

I am having 2 similar problems with routing. 1. With Rails if I make a js request using jQuery I always have to append a ".js" extension to allow the request to be handled appropriately. If I don''t append a js extension I get html formatted data back. Using Merb this never happened and worked like I thought it should. 2. Today I am having problems allowing xml requests to be

I''m trying to use jQuery to write all my js unobtrusively, and running into a bit of a problem when triggering the format.js block in IE6 (and possibly IE7). It returns the JSON string no problem, but instead of parsing it, IE6 asks to download the resource as a .js file. So if my url is ''/pictures/1.js'', IE6 will ask to save or run ''1.js'' I did do

For the life of me I can''t figure this one out, although I can''t find anyone else who''s attempted to do this, and probably with good reason. Context: blog using AJAX What I''m trying to do: when the user initially saves a blog entry, or when auto-saving, I want subsequent saves to not create a new blog entry Why I can''t just reload the partial: -

Hi I have a window that looks like this -------------------- | | Enter -------------------- That box will take a command that the user enters and runs it on a server in the background loading a new window for the user to view the results. Is there a way to take multiple xhr requests so that the next request the user enters , a new window will pop up right away, instead of

hey guys, i am writing a couple of actions which are only used with an xhr. I ''protect'' them all against a direct access with the ''verify'' method in the controller verify :only => ..., :xhr => true it would be cool if the system would automatically recognize the xhr actions and protect them ... i want to postfix methods with ''_xhr'' and

Hello, I''m interested in learning the correct/smart approach for implementing a web page with tabs and a content panel... When the tab is clicked by the user the tab''s content is fetched and inserted with jQuery... no page refresh... Example, Facebook, when you click Photos or Events, it doesn''t refresh the browser, just replaces the content with AJAX in the

Hi, I''ve done AJAX calls to Rails'' Controllers before yet never required to generate a response back to the view. In this respect, I have tried to keep it moronically simple and just add a node to see that it works, yet the response doesn''t come through / isn''t interpreted as it should. Long story short, code : // Have to use Mootools to integrate a
