Red Box is not working

Question

Hi , I have install the Red box plugin by using the following command

script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/ambroseplugins/redbox .

It installed successfully. and again ran the following command the following location

/myapp/vendor/plugin/redbox/rake update_scripts . It shows me the following output

(in /myapp/vendor/plugins/redbox) rake aborted! private method `copy' called for File:Class /home/myapp/vendor/plugins/redbox/Rakefile:28 (See full trace by running task with --trace)

I don't know How to solve this ... Then i understand that "rake update_scripts" copying the Js and Css file only. so i manually copied the Redbox.js & redbox.css files into the respective places under /public folder

I include the follwoing into my application.html.erb

<%= stylesheet_link_tag 'redbox' %> <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <%= javascript_include_tag 'redbox' %>

It included in the page successfully. The following is my view code :

<%= link_to_remote_redbox('Red_box', :url => {:action=> 'log'} ,:method =>'get') %>

The popup box doesn't appear. I have no clue what is the exact error. Is that any Jquery clash?

Please help me

If i remember correctly, redbox helper adds hidden div close to where you call whatever_redbox(), you can inspect the html and see if it is properly generated. The hidden div is important because that is where your lightbox is generated.
