I am using the very helpful file_column extension in my app. The uploading portion works great - no problems. Where I am having an issue is displaying the images in my view.

Hey, I''ve gotten file_column to upload a file, drop it in the dynamic directory, but I can''t display the image, the directories repeat themselves: My model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base file_column :image_url In my view: <%= image_tag url_for_file_column(''person'', ''image_url'') %> HTML generated is this: <img

I''m trying to have one image fade out and then another slidedown upon completion of the ajax call. I can''t get the timing correct. How do you do it?
