similar to: best way to return JSON?

Hello all, I''m trying to send some json data from the browser to the server using prototype without success. On the server side ActiveSupport::JSON.decode isn''t decoding the data. Here is the code: Javacript: <a href="#" onclick=''send();return false;''>click</a> <script> function send() { var send_data_url =

I tried to keep track of the number of access to a specific controller. I declared ''@@mycount = 0'' in the controller class. The methods in the controller will increment the @@mycount (@@mycount = @@mycount + 1) and print the value to the html page and show in the browser. The value is always 1, no matter how many times I access the controller and its action(s). Is this

I figured I pose this to the list and see if any one can build a better mousetrap. The problem: 1. Store hierarchical data in a database, but without knowing the hierarchy beforehand. 2. Allow the user to define there own hierarchy, and allow the system to support multiple hierarchies. Call it a cataloging system, we have an object and we want to add data about that object to the system. Now

Hello, I just started playing with RubyOnRails. It is indeed fascinating! I have a question about using rails models to connect to backend Java (i.e. EJBs) instead of database. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Khaled -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This isn''t Rails or Ruby related, but I just need some advice and thought I''d ask the bright individuals here. I want to start my own blog but I''m not sure where to begin. I don''t want to get a blogger account because I want to have my own domain. Blogger also doesn''t have many features. My hosting service is 1AND1 so it supports php, cgi and mysql.

I''ve looked for DIFF tools for OSX but haven''t found anything good yet. Tried guiffy (http://www.guiffy.com) but it''s very slow and the folder comparison doesn''t indicate a change until you drill down to the level with the difference which kinda defeats the purpose. I''m missing TortoiseSVN and the diff tool that comes with it. Any suggestions for

Hi, Is there a way to test if a certain (local) variable has been initialized? I''d like to do something like if isset(myvar) and myvar.true? #some code else #default behaviour end I have a lot of shared views that I call with params such as { show_pager => true Instead of having to explicitly say show_pager => false it should be possible to make false a default value, right?

Can I get some opinions on which free DB to use with rails for a virtual server that will eventually be doing lots of heavy database lifting? Not a lot of heavy duty querying per se. Think multiple simultaneous forums and blog sites and the like. I know each of the different DB possibilities such as MySQL and PostgreSQL has plus points and minus points. I''m particularly interested

Ok, so this is kinda out of the blue... but I''ve been looking at Google Base and thinking that it''s got some really good ideas in it. Especially the way you can create your own "type" of item with its own custom attributes, like date range, location, number, text, etc. Kind of like defining a database with a GUI, but not exactly. It seems really interesting to me, from

I am checking the file size of an uploaded file and storing it in a filesize column. It will work just fine when the user uploads any files other than images (jpg,png,gif). Word, Excel, Powerpoint, .zip and more all work fine. This is my model asset.rb that handles the file upload. def newfile=(newfile_field) self.filename = base_part_of(newfile_field.original_filename) self.filetype

Hi, I''m a little confused about sessions. I have two objects, object "Apple" and object "Banana". These two objects have an N:M relationship. What I am doing is listing All of the Banana objects that are associated with a single Apple, then below that listing all of the Banana objects not associated with that same Apple. The user is then allowed to change the

I can''t think of a good reason, other than it''s legacy code which hasn''t gotten around to being changed to RoR. http://rubyonrails.org/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://37signals.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://basecamphq.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://backpackit.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42

This is a very basic question but I cannot find the ''right'' answer. What is the best way to traverse an object / array with ROR.

I suspect this is something I should know already but I can''t seem to get it right, how can I create application wide variables and have them accessible to all my controllers? I tried creating a plugin and having my controller require a specific method from that plugin to access its variables but that didn''t work, so I am left scratching my head. eg from plugin
