Hi, I’m using a link_to to open a popup in which I need to do a search
and then pass the value back to the original window. How can I pass the
value back to this original window?
Gabriel.
There is a javascript property called “opener” that refers to the
parent window object that opened the child window. That way you can
call opener.document.blahblahblah to access forms, or whatever else you
need to do. Just google “javascript opener”
I’m using Rails 1.1.6, and I getting some strange error messages when
using error_messages_for.
Whenever the validation is triggered (by leaving a field blank, for
instance), I get this ArgumentError:
wrong number of arguments (2 for 1)
The call to error_messages_for looks like this:
1: <%= error_messages_for :link %>
2:
3:
4:
Name
The application trace is blank, but the framework trace leads to a
call to pluralize:

Some controllers have this problem, others don’t, and I can’t figure
out what’s different about them.
There was a similar question raised in April:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/62380/
But it doesn’t look like anyone figured this out.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Problem solved. Since at least one other person had the same problem
in the past, I’ll document it for the message archive.
Problem: I wanted to use singularize in a view, so I put
include Inflector
in the helper file. Side effect: redefining the TextHelper version
of pluralize() to be the Inflector (1 argument) version. But
error_messages_for needs the TextHelper (2 argument) version. Doh!
Removed the include, called singularize() as Inflector.singularize(),
and all is well.
