RJS Change Background Color

What’s the page.method to change the background color of a DOM element?
I’m
trying to change the background color of a couple of styled

  • 's when
    an
    Ajax link is clicked.

    Thanks,

  • David,

    Use Element.addClassName(element, className) and CSS.

    Hope this helps,
    Zack

    Thanks for the answer, Zack.

    I’m not sure quite how to use that method, though. Fitting
    Element.addClassName into an RJS file won’t work, and
    page.add_class_name"id of element", “class name” throws an error
    saying AddClassName is not
    defined.

    page<<"$(‘theElement’).style.background=‘red’" also works for me.

    The $ javascript operator fetches the element with the name of its
    argument

  • Try this:

    page.call ‘Element.addClassName’, ‘element_id’, ‘class_name’

    Zack

    page << “Element.addClassName(element, className)”
