I want to blame IE 8 because I designed with FF and did not see any
issue but IE 8 definitely is a problem.
To simplify a fairly complex page...
LAYOUT.HTML.ERB
<div id="container">
<% yield %>
LIST.HTML.ERB
<div id="content_area">
<%= options = [...@menu_topic, '']] + ApplicationHelper::CONTENT_TYPE
select("menu", "topic", options) %>
</div>
<%= observe_field("menu_topic",
:frequency => 1,
:update => 'content_area', **OR** :update=>'container'
:with => 'menu_topic',
:url => {:action => 'list'}) %>
The intent is to change what is displayed in the list view mode by
selecting a 'topic' from the collection list.
With ':update => 'container' FF worked perfectly but IE 8 first updates
like FF, then it changes the selection list to 'null' and continually
cycles and sends 'null' to the observer and it's a mess.
With ':update => 'content_area' FF loads a second list view inside the
original list view and that clearly isn't workable.
I suspect that my issue is that I don't thoroughly understand what
'observe_field' is capable of doing or not doing but previous usage
seemed fairly straight forward but that was rails 1.2.6 and perhaps I
never tested with IE before.
What is the best way to handle this for all browsers?
