This is an interesting problem:
I have a view that has a div that gets replaced by innerhtml using a
settimer() in js.
The settimer() invokes a js function (makemytable())that creates a
table in html based on json data that gets written on the server every
2 seconds.
So, every 2 seconds, the table in the div in the view automatically
updates itself. So far, tres bien, very good.
Now, I need to put links in some of the cells in the table – but I
want them to be effectively link_to_remote’s.
So waht I need to do is, since this innerhtml is finished html/js and
not ruby code, I need to put these link_to_remotes in in a pure js
manner from within makemytable(), which is itself a js.
So my question, the must be a way within js to replicate what
link_to_remote creates, no? How can I write out the finished page, in
effect, with links that operate like link_to_remote? Does anyone know
what that looks like? If I simply look at the source of a page I have
with a link_to_remote on it I see:
<a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request(’/channels/userfreeze’,
{asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:‘authenticity_token=’
- encodeURIComponent
(‘xgorbWtiTdb15yhJ9il0TbbD1szBHSAcWb7p6GVffF0=’)}); return false;"
style=“float: right; border-style: ridge; padding: 1px;” title=“Make
user in box below be frozen” type=“submit”>
I assume I only need copy this text, altering what needs to be altered
interms of where I wantt it to call, etc. But what is the
authenticity_token? I am using AUthLogic plugin, could it be from
that?. Is that necessary here to put that text in too? -Janna B
