RJS: hide element problem

hariraj · July 31, 2006, 5:39pm

Hi,

I am trying to hide a “intro” text shown to user the first time after he
has
made a search, in the website with RJS/Prototype “hide”.

I get the following error:
RJS Error:
Type Error: element has no properties.

The text I would like to hide is in a div called “intro” and in my RJS I
tried:

But I get the above error.

I guess I miss something. Any hints are appreciated!

Thanks,
Hari

The text I would like to hide is in a div called “intro” and in my RJS I
tried:

page.hide[:intro] as well as

page.hide ‘intro’

Are you sure there is only one element with the id ‘intro’ in your
final rendered view? (i.e after iterating records)
If you’re doing the following, I can’t imagine what might be wrong…

render(:update) do |page|
page.hide ‘intro’
end

Hope it helps, sounds rather strange though
Goodluck
