How does one do a SELECT MAX query in rails? I''ve searched and searched and tried lots of things with no luck. I want to implement "SELECT MAX(column_name) from table_name and have it return the maximum value from column_name. I just need to get that one value, not the whole object... Thanks for any ideas...

Hello, I''m creating an application wich can be seen at http://158.227.7.9/serious_serv/prueba_xml_test(31-3)/interfElemen/integMenuContextFileUpl.htm The instructions for working with it are the following: with rigth-click you can click "Añadir una imagen" to load an image into the page, then you can drag and drop it in the box with "aqui van las imagenes" into it.

I''d like to drag images onto drop zones. I have a working demo with one problem: the image leaves the dock and then "snaps back" to it: (broken -- image leaves dock during drag then snaps back) http://u32.net/junq/imlib-demo-1/ I can get the image to remain in the dock during the drag using ''ghosting:true''. But how do I keep the original in the dock

Hey guys. I''m trying to drag between two lists, except one list is really long so I set a height on the <ul> with overflow:auto. Unfortunately when I drag between the lists I can''t drag items outside of the <ul> with the overflow on. Does anyone know how I can make this work? I think I might be able to hack up something with rico''s live tables, but that

Hi folks. I''m working on a project where I need some drag and drop, but I need to implement what happens in a very different way, so I''m creating my own class for it. I don''t want to reinvent the wheel and redo Thomas'' excellent drag/drop functionality, nor do I want to copy/paste his code over into mine. So, I was wondering, has anyone tried to extract

I have two sortable lists, one after the other. I can drag from the first to the second but not from the second to the first. The behavior is consistent if n > 2. For example, I can drag from 1 to 2, 3 or 4 from 2 to 3 or 4 and from 3 to 4, but not in the reverse order: I can''t drag from the 4th list to anything (besides itself). From the third list I can drag only to itself and 4.

When using drag and drop, the browser window will not scroll if you move the mouse off the page. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible to create certain types of web applications. I know this has been mentioned before and is on the Wish List, but it''s very frustrating. If you look at this other Javascript library called "Drag''nDrop & DHTML Library"

Cheers, I have some elements inside a div with overflow:auto. When I trie to drag them outside of the div, the div starts to scroll. Is there a way to stop this behaviour for drag and drop? I thought of maybe using callback to disable the overflow and restoring it againg after the drop. Did someone implemented something like this? Thanks, Jonathan -- Jonathan Weiss

I''ve gone through Chad Fowler''s recipe for creating a drag and drop sortable list, and have been trying to extend this to a sortable tree. Has anyone come up with or seen code which allows drag and drop sorting (altering the position and parent_id variables of the relevant objects) but for data in a nested tree rather than a list form? - Justin

Hi ! I have the following: <li id="photo_<%= @photo.id %>" class="photo"> <%= link_to(image_tag(url_for_file_column(:photo, :picture)), {:action => ''photo'', :id => @photo}, {:title => @photo.description}) %> </li> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!--

Hi, I have implemented the drag and drop feature to move around some divs, but I have a small side effect i am trying to clear: When the draggable div contains links, and if the user grab the div on the link, the drag is done but the link is also visited, leading to unwanted issues. What I''ve tried to do is to look for all ''a'' tags in the draggable elements in order

Hi All, I''m trying to drag a copy of a string from a list into a text field so that the original string stays in the list. I''m able to drag the item and set the value of the text field onDrop. But the original text leaves the list & with revert set to true it flies back to it''s original position in the list. We''re trying to avoid the flying text. What

Please, I''m build an drag and drop tree using scriptaculous and it is perfect in FF but when I test in IE don''t work, I drag the element and when I free the button the element don''t go to the place, stay in the mouse pointer...

Hi everybody, Could somebody have a look at a little sortable example at http://www.weisshuhn.de/diagnose/sortable.html It implements two Sortables and a Draggable. You can drag elements from the "source" Sortable to the main Sortable, sort them (surprise) and drag them to a trash. Whenever you drag from the "source", a new element is created (by cloning an invisible

I am quite disappointed in the drag ''n'' drop support in Mozilla Firefox. What am trying to achieve is dragging an element from one IFRAME/FRAME into another IFRAME/FRAME. But upon dropping the element, I do not want the target IFRAME/FRAME to open/load it. I want it simply to handle the event, such as parsing the element/data dropped. Such uses as dropping an element into a

Hi there, i need to drag an draggable element to an child div node inside an another div container, but i create the child node dynamicly with ids like '' div_ + i '' where ''i'' is a incremental variable, thats the problem because i need get the id of this child nodes to manipulate it, somebody knows how if i drag the element to that child node i can get the id of

Using the script.aculo.us Draggables, I''m noticing they are a bit less than fast. I drag them around on the screen and they jump and glitch to catch up with the mouse. Has anyone else noticed this, and are there any optimizations that have been identified that I can apply? I''m using v. 1.5 Sincerely, Ryan Gahl Design Engineer Camtronics Medical Systems (an Emageon
