Hi I''d like to know how to add default text text area using the function text_area. I ''ve tried using value = "....." to do this but with no luck. Could some one please answer my simple question? Thanks. Dan. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have been using rails professionally for only a month and a half now, but I am continually running into problems with form helpers and accessing multiple objects on a single page. To whit: 1. While text_field and text_area and such all support the :index option, the select helper does not. 2. When appending the text ''[]'' to a helper''s object name, the id is

I''m having a problem getting the text area the size I want it to be. In my view at the top I have this init calls <script type="text/javascript" > tinyMCE.init({ mode: "textareas", theme: ''advanced'', theme_advanced_toolbar_location: ''top'' }); </script> Then in my form: <%= text_area

I stumbled on the fact that text_area_tag does not HTML escape its content by default. For example: text_area_tag "body", "</textarea><script>alert(''xss'');<script>" If you try that, you''ll see that the content is inserted literally. Considering the fact that the tag helpers all encode their attribute values by default, does this

I am getting a blank page, no errors, just a blank page. I have 2 files... reports/city_taxes_print.erb reports/_city_taxes_print.erb and my method is city_taxes_print and after getting variables from the controller, my erb file which is fairly basic... <% # City of Scottsdale @taxauthids = [ "32", "40" ] @report_title = "Scottsdale Sales Tax Detail Report for

I''m trying to get a page to validate as XHTML Strict, and I''ve gotten everything fixed except for one <textarea> that Rails is generating. <textarea cols="40" id="estcomment_comment" name="estcomment[comment]" rows="10" wrap="virtual"></textarea> This tag is being called in my view with <%=

Hi everyone, Newbie here. I''m trying to get a textual form element to submit in the context of a form_remote_tag block and having little success. Oddly (or perhaps not), using regular old form_tag in its place does cause the elements to be submitted. Here''s the relevant partial ERb code: <%= form_remote_tag( { :url => { :action => :out, :id => pending_task } } )

In testing my application on different browsers, I''ve noticed a few differences:- a password_field :size=>20 is smaller than a text_field :size=>20 on Internet Explorer. They are the same on Firefox and Safari. makes my login box look silly. the same can be seen on the login screen for this forum. the password box is a little shorter on IE6. more annoying however is I have

Colleagues, I have a routine in package labdsv that calls a FORTRAN subroutine. Recently, I was informed that it sometimes gives different results on a PC and Mac, and that the PC version is clearly wrong. I tested it on linux (because I don't have a PC), and I get the same (incorrect) behavior as the PC. Simply by inserting debug WRITE statements in the FORTRAN I would get different,

Very new to this but would appreciate a hand as this is driving me mad, I''m trying to update both degree and assigned from a single form, the degree section updates fine but assigned just retains the same values, any help much appreciated! my edit.rhtml file looks like: <h1>Editing degree</h1> <%= error_messages_for :degree %> <%= start_form_tag :action =>

Is there a easy way to add components like: http://www.dynarch.com/projects/calendar/ http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/example_full.php?example=true in ruby forms, by plugins or whatever?

Disclaimer: Ruby newbie at work Thought I was going so well. Wanted to produce a select box from an array constant, with the indices returned as values , and the array values used as the descriptions. Checked out Ruby RDoc and saw there was an each_with_index method and came up with: <%= select (''type'', ''typecategory'', Typecategory.each_with_index

I have a model object that acts as a list. The position of each object is determined by two factors: number of votes ascending and age of object descending. When a user adds or deletes a vote I need to quickly update the associated model object''s position. Right now this is done with the following method: def update_position position = nil Bug.find(:all, :order =>

When using array.each_with_index how do you start at a desired index position? I can do it like this, but its not very clean and doesnt seem efficient : desired_index_start = 20 array.each_with_index do |value,index| next if index<desired_index_start end Thanks Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi all, i'm trying to get elements in a matrix into a vector. i need a "streamlined" way to do it as the way i'm doing it is not very serviceable. an example is a 3x3 matrix like 0 0 3 2 0 0 0 4 0 to a vector like 3 2 4 thanks...mj [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I''m playing around with Markaby and I decided to write a little blog app. I''m running into issues with forms however. If I use form_for the output of the form gets swallowed. For example: form_for :article, @article do |f| f.text_field :title f.check_box :published f.text_area :description f.text_field :pub_date f.text_area :content end gets rendered as an empty form

I''ve spent hours researching the subject and have tried many test sequences in IRB, and rails console but I''m just having trouble making headway into what is probably a very easy subject. I understand arrays with at least 4 other languages but with Ruby I haven''t found a mental connection with how I can assign variables to arrays.. Take for example: def

Hello, What''s the best way to handle formating of a text_area? I have a text_area in my rails app where people can leave comments and I''d like to automatically convert the line breaks into <br /> tags, or just simply wrap a whole paragraph in <p></p> tags. I''m currently doing the following in my comments controller to insert line breaks when the user

I''ve been messing around with Ferret (no punn intended). After spending some time testing it out (indexing to file), I decided to index about 10% of the data I want to eventually index. It took several hours to complete the index on my local machine, but it was created without any problems and after optimising it the searches returned results at the sort of speed I was expecting. I
