So I'm trying to get some basic jQuery code with Rails working, but it doesn't seem to be working out. I've looked around and it seems like I'm following all of the directions correctly and have tried it in multiple browsers with no avail. Essentially, I'm just trying to slide up a div on document ready, but it just stays there :( <%= j...
Are there any gotchas to using a non-integer column for the id in an ActiveRecord model? We're going to be using replicated databases, with copies of a Rails app writing to those databases in different datacenters. I'm worried that with normal IDs we'll get collisions between newly created rows in different datacenters. Our DBA has su...

Ok so here is where I am at. I have three different things here and I am very close to getting it to work. I have a form with a checkbox = value of 1 that collects a "vote" for a "post" and sends it to the database with the post_id. This works great. I have a partial template that rendors that particular posts votes back underneath t...

I'm interested in adding ASP.NET MVC to my skillset. However my reticence comes from the fact that there seems to be a lot of "fuzziness" when people talk about implementing applications and how to adhere to the rules of the MVC architecture. I've heard Microsoft quoted as wanting developers to fall into the pit of success. With that ...
I am trying to hide a checkbox and assign a default value of 1 such that the submit button only shows. Here is my form. Just wondering as the proper format as I am new to rails.

I am new to rails so sorry if sometimes I don't make much sense. Here is what I am trying to do. I am trying to build a vote system. So next to a blog post there is a link that says 'vote' (will probably say like later).

I'm trying to create a Rails form that allows an admin user to change the assigned roles of other users. The form I've created registers changes to the user (such as password or login changes), but doesn't register changes to the user's role, which is a separate model. I'm using Acl9 for role-based authentication, which uses a User ...
