AJAX/RJS Updating of Table Rows

Rails
1

I’m trying to update a table row (i.e. replace a

) using
AJAX/RJS but of course this cannot be done in IE (works fine in
Firefox). I have googled but have not found any solutions, only a lot
of discussion. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Cheers,
Nicholas

maybe you can replace your table with a css-based layout? table-layouts
are
kind of legacy old-stuff anyway…

or maybe that:

Thanks, Peter – but I’m using tables for a legimate purpose, tabular
data; i.e. I’m not using for layout. I don’t think

is valid markup.

No, but

is.

If you assign an id to the td you can’t use it in the update?
Haven’t tried this myself, but I’m surprised that it wouldn’t work.

<% link_to_remote “Change it!”, :url => {blah blah}, :update =>
‘the_row’ %>

Take a look at Richard W.'s Ajax Scaffold Generator:
http://www.ajaxscaffold.com/

It uses RJS to update table rows and is “Guaranteed to work on Firefox
1+, IE 6+ and Safari 10+”. I think his solution is something like
remove the original row, insert the updated row, and move it into the
original row’s position.

Sorry for the late reply, but I wrote an article that sort of deals with
this, and then some:

Good luck!
