Hello, I was talking with someone in IRC, trying to get one form with however many fields to make new rows. He worked with me on the controller, but then I didn''t get the help with the view I needed, and I''ve been trying to do it on my own. I''m uploading pictures to my Pictures table. As you know, I need a few fields for each picture. I''ll need the filename,

I would really appreciate some help with changing a link_to_remote call to a button of some sort. Here''s a little background. On the page there are two <div>s. One is a form that lets the visitor enter items. The second <div> is where the entered items get displayed, each in it''s own item <div>. Each item <div> has two <span>s. The first one

Is there any way to tell Rails to send the .html file it renders somewhere other than the web server? I need to save a page to the server''s file system instead of sending it to the user''s browser.

Can anyone point me to an example of how to use the Insertion.Before technique? I''ve just begun trying to use AJAX and worked through Curt''s "Ajax on Rails". The description in AWD of what this does is just what I need, there''s no example of how to use it, and I''m getting no joy using Google. Any help is tremendously appreciated. -------------- next

I''m using the date_select and datetime_select helpers in my view, and they return Date classes from the params hash. But how do I work with Date classes, they don''t print human readable dates or times, Time classes work well I can use strftime("%H:%M") to print to the screen. Is it possible to convert a Date to a Time, Ive been tinkering in irb but have got

Could someone point me to documentation that provides a succinct and accurate description of the difference between interpolation using #{}, single quotes, and double quotes ? I imagine there''s a set of precedence rules that govern behavior if/when they''re mixed. I''d like to get clear on this. Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

Does anyone know how to view the new source in IE after an AJAX update? When I "view -> source" I get the original page source, not the page source as updated.

Is there a RoR best practice wrt determing in a visitor''s browser has JS disabled? Is there even a way to find out? I''ve got a couple of pages in my app that are not going to degrade gracefully at all. I really need to point a visitor who has JS disabled down a seperate path. Any ideas?

Greetings! What is up with the syntax of this thing? I mean, if the only thing I can send back using :with is the field being observed, then why in the world is the syntax so convoluted? For example, what I''ve been able to get working is: <%= text_field_tag(''date'', illness_date, :size => 30) %></p> <%= observe_field(''date'', :url

Hi, Kind of a dumb question but when there is something in the session how do you remove it? @session.delete(:params) doesn''t work unfortunately. -- Frank Kim http://betweengo.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I''m trying to figure out how to turn a string into an object. Can anyone point me? Here''s some background. Here''s the part of what I''m trying to do that works. ------------------------------------- @ford = [''mustang'', ''pinto''] make = ''@ford'' puts eval(make) --> produces mustang pinto

I hope no one gets offended by my asking, but I wonder what others think about the possibility of splitting the list into two or three focal areas. Personally, I think I''d like to see three seperate lists: 1) newbie development (e.g., help working through tutorials, etc.) 2) more advanced development topics, 3) environment setup / admin.. What do you think? Best regards, Bill

When I create a child record I''m not automagically getting the parent ID put into the fk field. Does object.new take parameters that allows me to do that as part of the AR record creation? Or do I need to do it separately? Or am I missing the boat altogether ;-) Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Greetings to all, I''ve had two reports of strange behavior from MySQL-Front this week from folks new to RoR who are working through the IR tutorial. I''m digging into it and would very much appreciate hearing from anyone else that''s seeing this. Newbies are in an especially good position to help here, as it appears that the problem lies in a recent release of

Is anybody hosting with GoDaddy.com? I''m about to set up a hosted account for my RoR app and see that they''re now offering RoR hosting. I''d really appreciate hearing from anybody who''s tried them for RoR. Any congrats / complaints / etc. you had / are having would be really appreciated!

I''ve looked at the validates documentation and it appears that validates_uniqueness_of works on only one field at a time. So I can, for example, validate that "sam" is unique to the record set, and that "smith" is unique to the record set. My problem is that each record includes two fields, the _combination_ of which must be unique to the record set, but each of

I''ve been trying to get a handle on AJAX today and am ready to call "BUG!" I started with the code from Curt''s "AJAX on Rails". It used <ul="my_list"> and <li> and worked fine. Except I need a table instead of a list. So I did the simplest thing that I thought could possibly work. In the view, I changed the :position attribute from

I''m trying to decide which IDE to go with for RoR development. I put a high premium on integrated test automated tools and debugging capabilities. I''d appreciate any sharing of experience. I''m currently running Instant Rails on a Windows 2000 box (using IR due to problems I encountered trying to get all the components set up individually). Also, I''m using

Is there a difference in the way that params[] and @params[] are handled? Is the ''handling'' done by Ruby or Rails? A pointer to the relevant documentation would be sincerely appreciated. Or just an answer would be ok too ;-) Thanks, Bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
