I'm from an clientside language programming background, specifically ActionScript.

Hi all, I just upgraded my Leopard system to Snow. I had a Rails application with a suite of Spec examples running before the upgrade; it used a mysql database.

Does anyone know how to make a search form (in rails) go directly to the first result, rather than a page of results? ...
With ruby on rails, the scaffolding creates layouts for all the controllers. If I decide to use an application layout, then I need to delete all those layouts (otherwise they will override the application layout). Now, I'm assuming most sites are going to want some site wide menu. The most straightforward place to put a site-wide menu ...

Hi, this seems simple but I can't figure it out. I receive post data in my rails app through a form and I want to use a redirect (instead of a render) but keep at least one of the pieces of post data alive through the redirect. How can I do this? Adding a hash on to redirect_to doesn't seem to work. ...

Starting a new rails project and we have a well-thought-out color palette, and want to capture that in one place. I have usually kept colors in the CSS, but I find I end up with all the same color in lots of different selectors, as it shows up as a background color, color, border color, etc. I also will occassionally need access to color...

I'm working on a relatively simple website with (currently) a single resource. I have a form at GET /maps/new that submits data for a new Map to POST /maps, which redirects to GET /maps/:id after completion. The problem here is that if validation fails, it renders the new-map form, so the URL is still /maps. But redirecting to /maps/new ...

I just started going back to college this year (a community college) and I'm finding it very difficult because the classes are extremely basic. I don't feel comfort...
