I’m learning Rails and went through the flickr tutorial screencast
at: http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/flickr-rails-ajax.mov
Couldn’t get it to work with Rails 2.0 in Aptana, so made these
changes to index.rhtml and am posting them in case they are useful to
someone else.
<% form_remote_tag :url => {:action => ‘search’},
:update => ‘photos’,
:complete => visual_effect(:blind_down, ‘photos’),
:before => %(Element.show(‘spinner’)),
:success => %(Element.hide(‘spinner’)) do -%>
<%= image_tag(‘spinner.gif’, :id => ‘spinner’, :style => ‘display:
none’) %>
Seems to be working, hope this is the “correct” way.

P.S. seems like many tutorials (all of those on
Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.???)
are for pre-2.0 and don’t work. Anybody have pointers to newer
tutorials? same problem with books - have a couple of $50 doorstops…
