[Proto-Scripty] Textarea as a container

2011-11-22 Thread bill
I tried using a textarea as the container for Ajax.updater 
without luck.
I presume I need to write the js to take the response and put it 
in the textarea, but the API just doesn't give me enough detail 
to use Ajax.request to do that.


The returned data is plain text.

A bit of assistance would be appreciated.

From the top of my head and totally untested:

new Ajax.Request('http://url-you-want-to-request', {
onSuccess: function(transport) {
$('id-of-your-textarea').setValue(transport.responseText);
}
});

Yes, but ONLY* if the two URLs share a common host (and protocol). Google 'Same 
Origin Policy' for more gory details.

* Absent some other trust framework with "allowed" endpoints.
