[Rails] Re: Hide/Show Div and link_to_remote

2011-02-18 Thread gezope
Yes, but I think toggling is better solution. Alternatively you can
include another JavaScript library, I suggest script.aculo or jQuery.
http://madrobby.github.com/scriptaculous/effect-fade/

If you want to AJAXify first do everything without it. As soon as it
works you can change part by part to AJAX. Use Firebug to try out
every CSS modification first without changing the code, and see if any
JS bug occurs, any you can use selenium too.

good luck

Maybe you can see to it by simply changing the style of your edit div
from "display:none" to "display:block" using a simple javascript
function if you don't like using javascript libraries.

In addition to what Walter mentioned there is the 'toggle' function:

If you have prototype.js in your page (Rails default) then you just do  
this in JavaScript:


$('elementId').hide();

or

$('elementId').show();

I don't think there are (ore need to be) Rails helpers for these...

Use javascript.  This is not really a Rails issue.  I suggest finding
some tutorials on javascript.

Thanks for the reply.

I know I'll need a call to the server to save the changes.  I guess I
meant do I need a call to the server to show/hide divs?  Right now the
only way I know how to do it is use link_to_remote for an AJAX
action.  That AJAX action does nothing but call a rjs template with
page.show or page.hide.

It seems like if I'm just doing page.hide/show I should be able to do
that without a call to the server?

Lets ignore the 'editable' form part.  In general how would I hide/
show a div on a button click for instance?
