I have a form with a text area. I want to have an observer watch the text area and update a div with the running count of characters in the text area. I tried "onchange" but that doesn''t update until you leave the text area. I was able to get it working using AJAX, but it''s silly to make a needless round trip to the server, when the page already knows

Hi, I''m having some problems with redcloth(3.0.4 gem) and textilize. I have a string: "h2. hello _what''s up?_" which is being textilized as: <h2>hello<br /> <em>what&#8217;s up?</em></h2> so no paragraph and h2 wrapped all the way. the input is coming from firefox 1.5.2 on a mac Anybody got any idea what the problem might be? --

Hi, using --- (3 dashes) at the end of a string that is textilized, results in a single hr tag without any text. This seems weird to me. Am I overlooking something? >> av = ActionView::Base.new >> av.textilize("sometext ---") => "<hr />" Cheers, Jan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are

I''ve got a bog-standard view which displays textilized data. In the same view, I have an in_place_editor which uses load_text_url to bring in non-textilized data when editing. Now, if I have html tags in the data loaded from load_text_url, they appear to go missing. I can see the tags in the output from my controller method using the console, but the tags are not shown in the

I''m having a problem formatting some text. I have a textarea that I input my text into, which will then be put into an e-mail and sent out. The problem I am having is when there is a single line break. Multiple line breaks work fine (hitting enter twice), but single line breaks don''t seem to work properly. Take the following input: Line1. Line2. Line3. Line4. Using

For me, textilize(stuff) produces nasty stuff - <br>''s instead of enclosing <p>''s and some closing <h*>''s are missing. RedCloth.new(stuff) works fine though. Isn''t textilize supposed to produce the same output? Or do I need to tweak something? Joe -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi everyone, I am writing a ruby on rails application, and making heavy use of AJAX calls and evaluate_remote_response. In my remote responses I often have several update_element_function calls going on, to update several divs on the page. What I am doing is calling update_element_function, with the content as a block. Inside the block I usually have html, or make calls to other partials or

Hi, I am using evaluate_remote_response and update_element_function, to update elements with blocks of content, something like this: <% update_element_function("div_id", :binding => binding) do %> <div id="newdiv_id"> This is a new div! </div> <%= draggable_element(''newdiv_id'') %> <% end %> That will update the

Hi! Wondering if anyone can tell me what''s wrong with my code? I''m trying to use the onChange event of a select list to update multiple divs... Agile Web Development with Rails (p. 403) suggests using ":complete => eval(request.responseText) instead of :update" I''ve attempted the following test code: # in the view <select name="plist",

I''ve been trying for days now to figure this out on my own, but I can''t, so this is my cry for help. Here''s my situation: I need to update multiple <DIV> elements on a page, each with its own HTML, but I just can''t figure out how to get it to work. That is, I want to replace everything within each <DIV> element with something new. When I try what

I was hoping to use RedCloth for textilize support to allow end users to enter textilized text (In blog comments, for example), but these bugs seem to make RedCloth unsuitable for that purpose: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2989&group_id=216&atid=891 http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1779&group_id=216&atid=891

Hi, I''m using textilize with redcloth 3.0.4. Everything works best except that paragraphs are not translated as an HTML paragraph When I write something like: *first paragraph* second paragraph the output is without paragraph: *first paragraph* second paragraph Any help??? Thanks Jörg

I''m writing a basic to-do application. I''m using a form_remote_tag to submit the entry to my controller, which then returns the entry to be displayed in the table of to-do items. However, I''d like to be able to "textilize" the entry without having to reload the page. Is there any way to have my ajax function textilize the text before displaying it in the list?

I am using the update_element_function to update the text in some elements. This works fine, however, if I try to update an element that is not on the page anymore, it fails silently and no further javascript statements will be executed within that same request.responseText. Is there a way to fail gracefully in this scenario and ignore the missing elements? Thanks, Tom

Is there any way to do this? The goal is to have the update_element_function update a div with alternating strings. Is there a better way to do this?

Hi... I''ve written some simple helper method. My method uses standard helper methods from Rails. When I try to use them from templates - everything is working, but when I try to execute from my helper I get an exception. Here is my code: module ApplicationHelper def reset_add_function r=update_element_function("add") { link_to_remote( "Nowy watek",

Hi all, Forgive what I expect is a silly question. I have the following code: #CONTROLLER def calculate render :partial => ''calculate'' end #CALCULATE PARTIAL <%= update_element_function("update_1", :position => :bottom, :content => "<p>New product1!</p>") %> #VIEW <p><label for="order_unit_price">Unit

Ajax.InPlaceEditor supports a loadTextURL option. If you look at the InPlaceEditor page (http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/Ajax.InPlaceEditor) you''ll see an excellent example in Rails of how you might use that option textilize in place edited stuff. Unfortunately, the example doesn''t use the nifty Rails in_place_editor method because

I was previously doing an update via .rhtml templates creating an AJAX :evaluate_remote_response. I use UTF-8 in my pages, and my app requires that I be able to, say, put Japanese characters in. The problem is that when I switched this over to an RJS template it started eating the encoding. I now get garbage characters where before I got the correct ones. The code for the RHTML: <%=

How would go about to update multiple components when using link_to_remote? I''ve got a button that lets you switch between languages and it has to update every component in my application (like, let''s say: the main screen, the top navigation bar and the search bar). Each component is created in a different DIV and whenever the language is switched, the entire application
