Hi, I''m new to Ruby on Rails (and Ruby itself). So far, I''ve been able to find answers to most of my questions in the docs or mailing lists.

While the build is running,

Hi, I am still new to RoR, so please bear with this newbie question. I would like to have the application in view to press result back to the controller when the periodically_call_remote is called. Right now, this is the code in the view: <div id="get_result"></div> <%= periodically_call_remote(:update => ''get_result'',

When I do periodically_call_remote with e.g. :frequency => 30 after initial page load I have to wait 30 seconds until this partial renders first time. Does anybody know how to make ROR to render partial on web page load, and then start periodic calls every 30 seconds? I tried to put <div id=''mydiv''><%= render(:partial, :action=>''myaction'')

Is there a way to add onsubmit functionality to a form_remote_tag with an additional javascript directive? eg I''d like for an inline javascript to make the form''s div container hidden as soon as the button is pressed to avoid having it possibly get pressed again ( sometimes the rails response is slow enough for a user to think they need to re-press it ). example: <div

I''m having trouble when I try to add another field in the form using ajax. I''m trying to add another line_item object into the invoice and i''m using the link_to_remote function to implement this.

Hi, I''m using Rails 1.1 and the periodically_call_remote() helper to query the server for the progress of a long running action.

When the action completes I''m also trying to send a redirect_to() by the same approach--which

My application has multiple things on the interface that need to be updated periodically. Some things every second, others not so much. Some of these things are global, meaning they are on the interface at all times, and some of these things are view specific. So what I figured I would do is add the periodically_call_remote function for the global elements and another one for the view

I am new to Ruby on Rails in general and apologize if this question is trivial and/or has been asked before ( my searches did not turn up any threads ).

Whenever I use periodically_call_remote it outputs as the following: <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {new Ajax.Request(''some_url'', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})}, 2) //]]> </script> If I understand correctly, setting asynchronous to true means that if one request takes longer than 2 seconds,
