Passing options for render :update

Rails
1

I’m having some issues trying to pass some options into render :update
in my controller:

render :update do |page|
page[‘mybox’].visual_effect( :scale, 200, {:scaleContent => false})
end

this should just scale the box, and not the content, however, the
content scales.

I noticed that the following is produced:

$(“folder-1”).visualEffect(“scale”, 200, {“scaleContent”: false});

I noticed that the scaleContent is in quotes - does that affect the
javascript? In html, I can get it to work by writing:

click me

** note that scaleContent is not quoted…and this works.

Any ideas?
Maybe I didn’t pass in the options correctly in my render :update?

Thanks,
John

Your doing everything right, although it looks as if you prototype.js
may be out of date. Element.visualEffect(“scale”, …) was a recent
addition.

Try doing a “rake update_javascripts” in your app root and then try it
again.

Hi,
Yup, I have the latest script.aculo.us and prototype javascripts, tried
updating everything. Still no luck.

Hoping someone else might have seen this and has a solution…
