Re: [Rails-spinoffs] $F

[Ryan Gahl]

Yep, you're definitely doing something wrong somewhere, or using a wrong version of something... sounds like in your example $('checkbox') is not finding the element, meaning you are either not using the correct id for the element in question, or perhaps you are trying to do this before the element is actually loaded into the page. Attach element referencing code to the body's onload event... or if you're into spaghetti scripting, put the script tag at the bottom of the page or after the innerHTML or DOM insertion voodoo in the case this is all in an AJAX context...

...point being... something is amuck, man...

I haven't been able to set properties using $().  I was referencing a
checkbox with this yesterday such as $('checkbox').disabled = false
and this threw a js error saying disabled was undefined or something
similar.  Perhaps I'm using an older version or doing something very
slightly wrong, cause I've never had this work for me.
