Guys,
I’m using the calendar_helper plugin to generate javascript for popup
calendars. It works nicely.
Now, I’d like to create a Ajax.InPlaceDateEditor in the javascript libs,
so
that when a user clicks a date field they’ll be given an in place editor
that can be set with a popup calendar. I’ve done similar things in the
past,
but only when I wasn’t using helpers to generate controls. I’m
struggling
with how to keep this DRY…is there any way you can think of to make
use of
the logic contained within the calendar_helper methods…but from
within an
inplaceeditor? The only rough guess I have at the moment is making an
Ajax
call in the background to a controller method that would call the helper
and
return the outputted javascript, but somehow this feels dirty.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated. If I rambled too much for
you
to understand what I’m trying to do, just say so and I’ll back up an
repeat
myself. I’m going on too much coffee this morning.
Thanks,
Jake
