It still seems to me that it is. Where there is html, there can be javascript. I would far rather use one line <script type="text/javascript>create_menu_div(some parameters)</script> Than cut and paste the 20-50 lines of html this could represent, esp. since it will allow the use of DOM*. Also, using an event handler still entails putting some javascript in an html page somewhere. You have hit a paradox by saying that you want to use prototype, etc. but you do not want to see any js calls in your html files. I do understand it is an explicit goal of rails to minimize the amount of js that the developer has to deal with personally, but I am already comfortable with it. I could tie my left hand to the chair in order to guarantee that only my right hand will be used for typing, but why bother? Anyway, Marnen, these are *cosmetic* preferences. I would just hate to see the day when some weirdo consortium comes along and says "From now on, everyone must tie their left hand to the chair", altho I doubt that will be possible in this case. *meaning there may be more unfortunate use of javascript still to come :O -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
