I am working on a search function on RoR that basically just has a cool visual effect when a user clicks the search button.
Here is the code in my view for search.rhtml
<html>
<head>
<title>Tutor</title>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
</head>
<body>
<h1></h1>
<%= form_remote_tag :url =>{ :action => :search_results }, :update => "results" %>
<fieldset>
<legend>Tutor Search.</legend>
<label for="searchItField">Keyword Search.</label>
<input class="tfield" type="text" value="FIND YOUR TUTOR HERE" name="searchItField" id="searchItField" />
<span id="Submit_search">
<span id="Submit_search_hover"><input type="submit" id="Submit" value="Search" /></span>
</span>
</fieldset>
</form>
<div id="results">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Here is the search_results.rhtml which is what gets displayed in the results div in search.rhtml
<% for tutors in @tutors %>
<%= tutors.first_name %> <br/>
<% end %>
And finally here is my controller and actions.
class TutorsController < ApplicationController
def search
end
def search_results
@tutors = Tutors.find_by_sql('SELECT * FROM tutors')
end
end
What I want to do is basically create an effect that when the search results are loaded because of the ajax call that it would slide up. I am using jrails. Exactly how this site does it. http://keyonary.com/#/paste
