RJS not cross browser compatible?

Rails
1

I have an RJS template that does the following

page.insert_html :bottom, “some_id”, ‘

’

This works just find in safari and firefox. In IE and Opera it doesn’t
work so great. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong here?

That might be because IE can only insert tr elements in a

, and
not in a .
Try adding a tag.

Thanks for the help.

It seems as though firefox can’t insert into tbody tags. I guess it’s a
lose lose situation unless someone has another suggestion.

we just avoid using tables for layout and use

exclusively…
another option you might be able to use though is a

    The reason I’m using a table is because the data is tabular data. We
    need to be able to have everything organized in columns etc. Oh well, no
    big deal.

This:

works for me in both IE and firefox.
Are you sure the tbody is the only element with some_id ?

Yes, I just viewed the source and did a find for the id and it only
found one instance of the id. It might have something to do with my
layout. I’m not sure.

Ben,

Had this problem and it took me hours.

It uses the prototype insert method, and it doesn’t work when trying to
insert into tables.

To get it to work you have to use a tbody tag instead of a table.

page.insert_html :bottom, “tbody_id”, ‘

’ my row

‘some_id’ probably shouldn’t be the target of your insertion and
also the id of the inserted element. You need the id of the


here for your target.

page.insert_html :bottom, ‘table_id’, ‘

’

Manually adding

tags seems to help.

Ben-

Try it like this, it works for IE, firefox and safarti:

With your table, ensure that you have the proper

tag around
all elements. Have the links within each of the TR’s that should
display the info below have an id like so
link for info with id... link for info with id...
link for info with id... link for info with id...

And you should be able to use RJS like so…

page.insert_html :bottom, params[:row], render(:partial =>
‘rowHelpInfo’)
