Rails w/ jquery

Greetings all,

I think many fellow rails developers are using jquery extensively now
and some one may already solved my problem:

rails’ RJS facility has helper methods like “replace_html”, they
allowed you to render partials in the .rjs file and execute the
javascript which updates the page, how can I do that using jquery?
Thanks in advance!

now I know “render :partial” works in js.erb, but why not “render
:action”? A “render :action => :new” gives “Rendered resources/_new” in
the log, why? Thanks!

I have this in my application.html.erb

I have this in my application.js:

var $j = jQuery.noConflict();

This puts the jQuery instance into it’s own namespace, leaving the $
object from prototype alone.

And then in an rjs template I can do things like:

page.replace_html ‘pane_content’, :partial => ‘message/sent_pane’
page << “$j($j.fn.nyroModal.settings.openSelector).nyroModal();”

The page object still processes Javascript, no matter what library you
use.

When I tried it, about 4 or 5 months ago, it did work, but it didn’t
play nice with prototype. Perhaps it’s improved since.

Ahh. Well I never it with prototype, so I couldn’t say.

Hi, since I’d like write js code by hand with jquery, so “render
:partial” in .js.erb file just fills my needs.

This may or may not answer your question, but I recently discovered a
rails plugin called jrails which integrates jquery into rails very
similar to the way prototype comes in rails.

installing jrails allows you to use this:
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
to include jquery library files
and there are other benefits and integrations, some of which i am
pretty sure include helper methods for rjs.
so i would try looking into the details for jrails… hope that
helps… J

Hi, since I’d like write js code by hand with jquery, so “render
:partial” in .js.erb file just fills my needs.

for newbies like me who don’t want to use jrails in rails 3 and might
need it spelled out, rather than:

render :update do |page|
page.replace_html ‘preview’, :partial => ‘preview’
end

do something like this in your controller:

render :action => :preview

and in your preview.js.erb file do something like:

jQuery(‘#preview’).html(‘<%= javascript_escape(render(:partial =>
“preview”)) %>’);

of course, you’d also need a partial named _preview.erb (or
_preview.haml)

good luck!

and in your preview.js.erb file do something like:

jQuery(’#preview’).html(’<%= javascript_escape(render(:partial =>
“preview”)) %>’);

of course, you’d also need a partial named _preview.erb (or
_preview.haml)

good luck!

oops, should have said escape_javascript
