Hello,
I am new to Ruby and I am currently creating a webpage which lists bug
stats information for various development teams. Each team is
represented on the page with an image.
When a team’s link is clicked, I want 2 things to happen:
- Javascript needs to call the displayLogo() method to handle visual
effects - Ruby needs to call the loadCustomLinks() method to display a link
Current Behavior: When a team link is clicked, the javascript effects
appear
and then disappear, followed by the display of the
team’s
custom link.
Expected Behavior: When a team link is clicked, I want the javascript
effects
to STAY active after the custom link is displayed.
I expect that my issue is more related to Javascript than to Ruby, but I
also want to make sure that I am using good Ruby programming
practices…
Any help is appreciated,
JT
