Onclick => :action?

Rails
#1

Hi all, is there a Rails way to associate an onclick event to a HTML
element and invoke
a controller’s action?

...

I have a table, and I want to show some info when user click on a row.
Any better idea to achieve
this one?

I could be wrong and don’t have the time to verify this at the moment,
but I
believe that if you check the W3C spec you’ll find that events can only
be
assigned to controls. AFAIK, a table (nor its component elements) is
not a
control. I think you’ll need to use a link or button field as content
of
one of the table’s cells. For those, check the link_to and button_to
documentation at http://api.rubyonrails.org

hth,
