similar to: Bug in Firebug or in RJS? Or something else?

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/.

Is it possible to use checkbox_tag outside a form? I''ve put it in a view and it renders but I get nothing back in the params hash. Is there a way to get the value? Like maybe with some JS onsubmit to populate the params hash myself? Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Hiyas I''m having a little problem with a observe_field in a partial "bokings/room_list": <%= select_tag "room_#{room.id}_grownups", options_for_select([0, 1, 2], room.grownups.length) %> <%= observe_field "room_#{room.id}_grownups", :url => set_number_of_grownups_booking_room_url(:id => room.id), :with =>

Code: <%= check_box_tag("person[#{person.id}][is_approved]", 1, true) %> Rendered output: <input checked="checked" id="person[7][is_approved]" name="person[7][is_approved]" value="1" type="checkbox"> Problem: The value of "1" is always passed, even if the box is UNCHECKED. Suggestions? Thanks! -- Posted via

I don''t have Rails installed at the moment, I''d like to check myself, but it''s just a simple curiosity. observe_field fits into replacement tags <%= %>, which caught my attention because as far as I know it''s just javascript observing a field and should not stick anything into HTML. Is <%= merely used as an enabling method, or will there actually be

I know I''ve seen this somewhere on this board and just can''t search it anymore. I have three relational tables: clients, projects, and tasks. Currently I''m working on customizing the ''new/edit'' task _form. So far I have it listing clients in a pulldown menu so I can assign the new task to a client. I''d like to have a second pulldown select

in the mean time i am using a checkbox like this : <input type="checkbox" name="var[car]" <%= var.car ? ''checked'' : '''' unless @var == nil %> /> but i am sure there is something better than this in rails like <%= checkbox_tag ''var'', ''car'', :checked => true %> but this is not

Hello Again Rails Folk! I''m trying to creat a page similar to what the person is doing here... http://mudabone.com/aietc/?page_id=410 Instead of doing it the way he/she has, I decided to use RJS files, or at least I tried. Here''s my view <%= start_form_tag %> <%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %> <p> Union: <div id="union">

Hi, I''m trying some RJS to update a series of list boxes in which the user selects a state, and the following list gets updated with a list of counties, and the same for the next list of areas. My code works perfectly (albeit a bit slow) on Firefox, but on Internet Explorer it clears the list box (instead of filling it) and Netscape shows all the counties cramped together on one

Hi- I''m trying to implement an auto-complete using Yahoo''s autocomplete server, which basically suggests search completions: http://ff.search.yahoo.com/gossip?output=fxjson&command={your searchterms}'' if you want to see the results in your browser, use xml instead: http://ff.search.yahoo.com/gossip?output=xml&command={your searchterms}'' So, I can

Hi, I''ve got some Ajax stuff that shows more or less of a complex form based on a radio button selection. A "radio_handler" controller action is the action for a form handler. Some seemingly simple "replace_html" fires as a result of different radio buttons being chosen (which should then show more or less of the form). This all works just great on Mac Safari and

I''m trying to do something rather simple (I think) but being new to rails, I''m not sure how I should proceed... What I want to do in simple terms is: When the my page load, get some data from a table (let''s call that table items).. so I want to get all my items, and display them in a div... I want to do it via Ajax because I want the user to be able to filter this data

in my booking / _form I have the following input fields : (startdate and endate) <div> <label for="startdate">Booking Start Date</label><br /> <%= text_field_tag(''startdate'', @startdate, {:class => @startdateclass, :readonly => "readonly", :maxlength => "25"} ) %> <%= observe_field("startdate",

Hi, I would like to know how to populate data in another text fields on selection from a drop down For Ex 1) The form contains 4 fields out of which 3 are text fields and the 4th one is drop down list. 1) i would like to know how to populate the 3 text fields with data simultaneously on selection from the drop down list. Please Help. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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.

The current beta version of Firebug doesn't appear to install on Firefox 3 on CentOS 5.2, apparently because it's reporting itself as 3.0b5 rather 3.0. I tweaked the minVersion requirement in the xpi to 3.0b5 and it seems to be working fine for me now. In case anyone else is interested in testing it, my tweaked version is available here:

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

This page is ripped from a real application, but its been simplified for debugging, turning off authentication and hiding Secret Sauce®. So if you try Form.serialize(''bio_form'') in Firebug you''ll get a url-encoded string back. The parameters to the Ajax.Updater() call a wrapper around Form.serialize which should present an alert with the url-encoded string. It

HI there, here is a basic piece of HTML/JavaScript that duplicates something similar in an application we''re working on: <html> <head> <script src="prototype.js" type="text/javascript" ></script> </head> <body> <div id="ST_1">ST_1</div> </body> <script> var widgetId = "ST_1";

Hi all, I''ve been trying to figure this out by myself and while I feel I''ve made some progress, I feel kind of stuck. Let me see if I can explain what I''m trying to do. I have a very simple form with a text box and a text area. The text in each of these will eventually make it into a row in a table in my database. For now, the value in the text box represents a
