Hi All,

 I want to refresh a partial onClick, onClick i am making ajax call

and getting the data but i am unable to refresh the partial. here is the
code

IN views: home.html.erb
$(document).ready(function() {
var currentCellText;
$(".inline").click(function() {
currentCellText = $(this).text();
$.ajax({
type: ‘GET’,
dataType: “json”,
url:’/test’,
async: false,
data:{ foo1:currentCellText
},
dataType: “json”,
success:function(data){
alert(data);
$(“ul#mymenu ul#mixed”).html(data);
},

contoller action

def some_action

      @object = Class.where(some_condition)
      render :home do |page|
            page["#myMenu #mixed"].replace_html :partial => "event"

    • <%="My Events"%>

Hi,

I would do it the following way:

  1. Create an AJAX call with $.getScript()
  2. Use it to call “some_action” in the controller
  3. In the controller create a JS view (for example ‘show.js.erb’) and
    put it into the respond_to block
  4. In your JS view, write some javascript to update the dom on your
    current page. Use the “escape_javascript” function of the view to
    render
    the partial. (Example: $(‘.some-div’).html(‘<%=
    escape_javascript(render
    ‘my_cool_partial’) %>’); )

The $.getScript() function will request the JS view and execute it’s
code.

Hope that helps!

Thank you for your guidance but i am stuck here i am unable to use
getScript properly

After executing my code

In views home.html.erb:
$(document).ready(
function() {
$(".inline").click(function() {
currentCellText = $(this).text();
$(’.dynamic’).load(’/test’,{foo1: currentCellText});
});
});

routes.rb:

match ‘/test’, to: ‘sessions#some_action’

controller code:

def some_action
@object = Class.where(some_condition)
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end

some_action.erb
$(".dynamic").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => ‘partial’,
:locals => {:object => @object})).html_safe %>");

my partail _partial.html.erb

    • <%="My Events"%>
      • <%=k%>
        • <%end%>

    Present output
    $(".dynamic").html("

\n
    \n
    My Events\n
        \n
        \n <\/span><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/li>\n

Please guide me how to use getScript(), is there any example for this.
And onClick i have to refresh my partial with @object values and display
it
in html.
