What i''m trying to get working is I have a controller called "permissions" and a view "permissions.rhtml". This view has a hidden div that contains a form for adding new roles. Its just a single textfield. Also on the page I have a dropdown list of roles and then underneath that a div that contains a list of permissions for the role selected in the dropdown. I

Hi all! I am coding an application that keeps track of request to create college courses. An identified user (logically a faculty member) completes a form indicating the name of the course, the professor in charge, the course''s code, the date and place, the possible coprofessors and TAs and the type of website he or she wants to use as a teaching help (WebCT, Sakai, etc.).

I wanted to get the community opinion on the best way to use partials and inline list (<li>) editing. I have a very common scenario where a list is rendered: --- index.rhtml --- <ul> <%= render :partial => ''item'', @collection => @items %> </ul> --- _item.rhtml (simplified) --- <li id="item_<%= item.id %>"> <div

Forgive me if this topic has come up before. I''m new to Rails (from a Java background, with a good deal of Perl as well.) I''m very much attracted to the idea of having an integrated MVC stack, and from what I see, Rails is "the right thing." To set up my question, here''s some background. In an app I am building, there are three models: an item has many

I''ve been looking for the definitive answer for months now, and the RSpec book doesn''t touch on it at all: How do we now handle stubbing out rendering of partials in view specs in RSpec2? I have a large (35K+ lines of views and related specs) that I''m trying to upgrade to Rails3/RSpec2. My views use partials pretty extensively and this issue is a huge blocker for me.

Hello all. For the purpose of my question, let''s imagine we''re building some search functionality. You''re a sales person (you poor sap). And you''re hanging out in the SalesCenterController. You need to do a search for available productions; you''ve decided to be cool and use Ajax. Do you... a) Make a remote call to an action in your current controller

All, In my app., I am displaying the contents of a spreadsheet that the user uploads in a XLS/CSV file (thanks parseexcel & fasterCSV!), and then saving it into tables internally. I would like to make this data editable in my app. in a spreadsheet-like display. I am trying to think about the best way to handle the data update to the server. Here are my thoughts.

There may be an easy solution, but I just can''t seem to get this to work... I''m using tables for part of my site, as they contain a lot of rows and columns full of financial data, so just working with div''s and dd''s... etc, won''t do. My table structure is pretty simple, as follows: ================= <table id="items"> <tr>

All, I have a form with the following field interaction rules. Given checkbox A, text field B text field C If checkbox A is checked then make text field C equal to the value of text field B and disable field C. If checkbox A is unchecked then enable field C. In order to display a form where I''m manipulating an already existing object, I have something like this in my RHTML template

I have a login form, in which I use a "form_remote_tag". I''m redirecting users to this form when they fail authentication as well... and using the "jumpto" method of capturing they original URL they requested via request.parameters, and redirecting to this URL after they authenticate. Problem is, if I try to do a "redirect_to", this won''t work, as

I hate writing controller actions that support simple lightweight ajax calls like this: def show_buttons render :partial => "home_buttons" end So the birth of remote_replace_with_partial Now you can replace a div elements with any controllers partials and pass those partials any number of params without having to write supportive actions in your controllers. This is a great

before I started building my latest rails app, I made the decision to make good use of ajax. My reasonsing was that users would benefit from the quicker page updates - the application provides various different types of insurance quotes, and has several multi-page forms and reports that can be drilled down 5 or 6 levels deep in some cases - so it seemed like a good candidate for ajax Now

what is the best practice for showing animated ajax spinner? The usual Element.show(''spinner'') has to stick with every form''s :loading. Is there some easier or light-weight method? Because I have this page that can contain upto 100 forms. And with all of those would be 100 hidden spinners. Please suggest something. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello. I am building full-ajax back-end, which consits of many quite big partials. As the system grows up, performance is problem. After every click, partial is refreshed, if needed. I am now at 0.5 sec / request. I tried to simply disable ajax and the result was quite suprising: the same page is rendered over 2x faster. I update 80% of page in case of ajax. (Please dont tell: dont use ajax when

Howdy, I''m trying to test some mailer views (which is no different to normal views in terms of specs)... ran into the following problem... In adherence to the "one expectation per ''spec''"...

Hey all, I''d like to abstract the process of updating different portions of the page after an Ajax request has taken place. Rather than simply putting the extra view logic in the standard rjs template, it seems to give better separation if there is a split between the core view logic (ie, inserting a row in a table), and updating any associated portions of the page. Is this possible? I

I''m starting now with rails, and i have simply question i think. I need to render two partials in one ajax call: I have the following controller: # GET /hosts/1 # GET /hosts/1.json def show @host = Host.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html #show.html format.js format.json { render :json => @host } end

Hi, I know that to make a dropdown box automatically submit when you change the value, you do this: <select ..... onchange="this.form.submit();"> BUT i''ve got an ajax form, and if i do the above trick, it simply reloads the ajax partial into the whole screen, rather than into the div where it is meant to go.
