I’m learning Rails and went through the flickr tutorial screencast  
at: [http://media.rubyonrails.org/video/flickr-rails-ajax.mov](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.](http://www.rubyonrails.org/docs)???)  
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…

This blog tutorial is based on 2.0 and discusses the differences  
between scaffolding on 2.0 and previous versions. I found it really  
useful when trying to follow pre-2.0 tutorials and books.
