In my ruby on rails app I am trying to use a Prototype Form.Element.Observer to run a count of the characters in a message. This works fine on Firefox/Safari/Chrome, but not on IE. On IE the observer simply does not fire. Is there a fix or a different way of doing this? My ruby tag looks like this: <%= countdown_field('txtmsg[memo]'...

It looks like you cannot use a helper in a controller even if both of them belong to the same class. For example: XYZHelper and XYZController... I was under the impression that if the prefix is the same "XYZ" then the method in the helper can be used in the controller and in the view, but I think this is not the case. So how do I remov...

I'm trying to implement a simple horizontal navigation menu that just shows a single div for each link. It is kinda like a dropdown menu but instead of a mouseover triggering a dropdown, an onclick event will trigger the showing of a div. I want to make sure I am taking the right approach before going too much further, any help is appr...

Today I ran into an issue using RoR to stub calls to AR objects. I thought that I'd be able to do something along the lines of : stub.instance_of(BankAccount).save_to_other_spot { true } However when I tried this method it didn't seem to stub the method at all and it would end up running the original method I was trying to stub. I con...

I'm building this restful application using RoR, and am finding it a bit difficult to draw a line between things that should go on the model, and things that should go on the controller. As an example, I have 7 methods on my controller (the ones that make it restful i.e. index(), show(), create(), update()...), and often find that it's ...

hello fellow programmers, i recently stumbled upon "elastic css" framework, which looks like a good thing to me. i tried blueprint already but i must say this seems to be an overkill for me (tried it with compass). so my question to you rails/xhtml webdevelopers out there: is the elastic css framework together with rails (3) and haml/sa...
This is probably very simple but I can't figure out why I get no error pages. First off, I'm using Heroku for hosting, so it's definitely in production mode. If I set the line "config.action_controller.consider_all_requests_local" set to true, I get a detailed error message but otherwise, I get a completely 100% blank screen. If I vie...
