RJS doesn't work

Rails
1

Hi,

When using an :update in a remote function it does work without
problems. Removing it and adding instead a .rjs file to modify a part of
the HTML doesn’t work.

This is what receives the browser:

Element.update(“content_pane”, “— TEST-CONTENT —”)

But it just ignores it. There is no error in the javascript console. The
tag used is:

<%= collection_select “user”, “id”, @users, “id”, “firstname”,
{ },
{ :id => “selectUserList”,
:class => “width100”,
:onchange => remote_function( :with => “‘id=’ + value”,
:url => { :action => :select_user } ) } %>

As said, if I just use the :update => “content_pane” approach, it does
work without problems.

Do you know what can be wrong ?

Thanks in advance. Any comment would be really welcome, I’m a bit lost
here…

Well, I continue fighting against this issue. As far as I can tell from
everything I’ve googled, you can’t use remote_function with a RJS due to
the JS implementation. A link_to_remote will do (I’ll try that this
night at home)

Anyway, I’d need to use it in a collection_select context, where the
onchange event must run a RJS template, so the link_to_remote doesn’t
seem to be the best idea.

Do you know if is there any alternative to run RJS templates to be used
with events ?

Sorry, the problem is rforum. I’ve “installed” rforum 0.2 and since then
it fails.

The RJS file is executed, the JS sent to the browser but without
success…

Does anyone have any clue about how to solve this ?

Best regards,
Juan

<%= collection_select “user”, “id”, @users, “id”, “firstname”,
{ },
{ :id => “selectUserList”, :class => “width100” } %>

<%= observer_field ‘selectUserList’, :url => { :action
=> :select_user } %>

This will automatically submit to the given URL and pass the selects
value in parasm[:user][:id]
and it works with RJS from what i know an experienced.

In fact i wonder why remote_function doesn’t, as the API states it can
have the same options as link_to_remote, which sounds like “you can
leave out :udpate and use RJS”
… might have a look at it’s source to see what’s the reason.
