Hi guys, I was wondering if you are able to have a link_to_remote, having an image_tag and the link_to_remote has a mouseover event that updates a div. Does the image_tag need the mouseover event?

Thanks, first, to everyone who''s asked and answered questions on this list, and to the creators of RSpec - it is all very helpful. I''ve searched the mailing list, and had a couple 2hr googling sessions that didn''t help me find an answer. I''ve run into a problem getting my first non-trivial view spec to run. I get an error when trying to generate a link_to()

I have a batch job that will call script/runner, I would like in this call to create html formated email and save it to the database. This is easy enough in a controller with yournewhost.email = render_to_string :action => "email_newhost_ready", :layout => false But render_to_string is only available in controller action pack, is there a easy way to render_to_string in a Model? Or

Hi all, I know that in general, view and controller tests should be isolated, such that controller specs don''t test views etc. However, I think I''ve run into a situation that might be an exception. My controller uses render_to_string to produce a chunk of HTML that it passes to a model to be processed. The controller then redirects the user to a different page. The

I''m using render_to_string in an after_filter, which renders a partial that is sent to a web service.

Hi everyone, I am relatively new to rspec and I am running into a wall in testing my views. I have a RESTful resource Contracts with a nested resource of Line_items. I am trying to figure out how to test the "edit" form of the Line_items.

Hello, my question is rails related though it is also somewhat specific to the prawnto plugin (installed latest version as of 2010-03-15). I would ask on a prawnto forum/list if I knew where one was. Anyhow, I''m using rails 2.3.5 (with ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 111) in an app that is successfully using the prawnto gem (with the prawn gem version 0.7.1). I''ve got a a

I have an odd error.

Hi, when I generate a new rails project with a simple scaffolded controller, I get a strange error message, whenever it tries to call the url_for method, for example: ,---- | undefined method `rewrite'' for #<Url:0xb7675e64> | | Extracted source (around line #7): | | 4: </p> | 5: <% end %> | 6: | 7: <%= link_to ''Edit'', :action =>
