similar to: Javascript as content parameter for update_element_function?

Hi, I am using evaluate_remote_response and update_element_function, to update elements with blocks of content, something like this: <% update_element_function("div_id", :binding => binding) do %> <div id="newdiv_id"> This is a new div! </div> <%= draggable_element(''newdiv_id'') %> <% end %> That will update the

I am using the update_element_function to update the text in some elements. This works fine, however, if I try to update an element that is not on the page anymore, it fails silently and no further javascript statements will be executed within that same request.responseText. Is there a way to fail gracefully in this scenario and ignore the missing elements? Thanks, Tom

Hi everyone, I am writing a ruby on rails application, and making heavy use of AJAX calls and evaluate_remote_response. In my remote responses I often have several update_element_function calls going on, to update several divs on the page. What I am doing is calling update_element_function, with the content as a block. Inside the block I usually have html, or make calls to other partials or

I have a form with a text area. I want to have an observer watch the text area and update a div with the running count of characters in the text area. I tried "onchange" but that doesn''t update until you leave the text area. I was able to get it working using AJAX, but it''s silly to make a needless round trip to the server, when the page already knows

I''m trying to generate a URL of the form controller/action?id=<id>&type=<type>. My code looks like this: url_for(:controller => ''content'', :action => ''get_resource'',:id => item[''Id''],:type => item[''type''] ) The url I end up with looks like this:

Hi! Wondering if anyone can tell me what''s wrong with my code? I''m trying to use the onChange event of a select list to update multiple divs... Agile Web Development with Rails (p. 403) suggests using ":complete => eval(request.responseText) instead of :update" I''ve attempted the following test code: # in the view <select name="plist",

I''ve been trying for days now to figure this out on my own, but I can''t, so this is my cry for help. Here''s my situation: I need to update multiple <DIV> elements on a page, each with its own HTML, but I just can''t figure out how to get it to work. That is, I want to replace everything within each <DIV> element with something new. When I try what

I''m trying to get a Rico LiveGrid working, and I am a bit stuck on how to accomplish this. I have a page that successfully queries a controller and updates a <div> containing a table. I have two versions of the action; one uses the render_partial to return a rendered version of that table, and the other returns an XML-RPC document, and this is where I hit a snag. The Rico LiveGrid

I''m using update_field to update a <div> with the contents of a text_area as it''s updated by the user (a-la-Typo preview style). I''m now trying to preload the <div> so that it shows the contents of the field being edited even if that field doesn''t get edited. In other words, update_field is only called if the field is updated, but I want the

Hi to all members of this group, how can i download a webpage using R (html), which is generated using javasript when trying to open that webpage in the browser? When i try to save the page as text file i get only some java code inside, not the actual data. When opening website in the browser and saving the page in txt file everything works fine, so seems like i need to emulate browser request

Hi all, I''d like to write a function that replaces all email addresses in my pages with a javascript anti-spam script. I know it''s a bit horrible for screen readers, but I feel it''s our best option at the moment. I think I need some kind of function that builds the javascript depending on the email address and then replaces it in the text. I got a bit lost at this

Hi all, Forgive what I expect is a silly question. I have the following code: #CONTROLLER def calculate render :partial => ''calculate'' end #CALCULATE PARTIAL <%= update_element_function("update_1", :position => :bottom, :content => "<p>New product1!</p>") %> #VIEW <p><label for="order_unit_price">Unit

Hi I have this problem: <script> var param1 = ''field3''; </script> <script> var param2 = ''field3''; </script> <script> var param3 = ''field3''; </script> <%= submit_tag ''Next'', {:onsubmit => ''return validate_options(param1,param2,param3);''} %> function

I''m a rails newbie. I''ve got a link_to_remote that puts a partial render into a div ("note1", "note2", etc.). As part of the display that comes up, I put in a hide note link (element.toggle). Click that, the div goes away, everything''s great... except now I can''t get it back. How can I call the remote AND make the div show at the same

Hi all, I''m a relative noob to rails so I apologize in advance for asking such a basic question. I am trying to do multiple AJAX calls using the link_to_remote helper or the JavaScript generator update_page. I have googled and read the docs for both, but can''t seem to figure out exactly what i need to do. Say I have the following html: <div

Hi... I''ve written some simple helper method. My method uses standard helper methods from Rails. When I try to use them from templates - everything is working, but when I try to execute from my helper I get an exception. Here is my code: module ApplicationHelper def reset_add_function r=update_element_function("add") { link_to_remote( "Nowy watek",

Hey all, I''m attempting create a photo album that can be re-ordered using the great scipts from script.aculo.us <http://script.aculo.us>. It seems to work as expected when I pretty much copy and paste the puzzle example but when I try and be a bit trickier (changing the movable elements to be divs containing images) things get wierd. I''m able to "pick" the

How would go about to update multiple components when using link_to_remote? I''ve got a button that lets you switch between languages and it has to update every component in my application (like, let''s say: the main screen, the top navigation bar and the search bar). Each component is created in a different DIV and whenever the language is switched, the entire application

Hi All, I have been trying to get a toggle tab system working with protoype effects.

Hello ! I''m trying to implement something similar to the "multiple updates" section of the Web2.0 chapter of the Agile book. I implemented my version, and nothing is happening. No javascript errors, my logs look fine, page is rendered fine... just no Effect.Highlight. Here is the code: views/causes/cause_home/index.rhtml =============== <%= form_remote_tag(:complete =>
