[Rails-spinoffs] Re: Ajax.PeriodicalUpdater using Effect.Highlight to highlight newly loaded div

[Colin Mollenhour]

I'd recommend not using IDs at all for simplicity. Instead, use the DOM traversal methods: var highlight = function(originalRequest){ new Effect.Highlight($(id).down()); } Colin Graham wrote: Aahh. I see. Well I'll take a look at that tomorrow and work out some kind of loop to increment the dive number. Thanks for your help Dave.

It looks like all your DIV tags are coming back with an ID of 'test'. so the Effect is just going to go for the first one with that name. Looks like a race condition is underway here - although the updateContent() gets called before onComplete(), the first time the Effect is invoked, the content hasn't been rendered yet, so it selects the previous one. If you increment the id of the div each time (test_1, test_2) etc., you'll avoid this kind of confusion - or you could pass the id of the incoming DIV to be highlighted as an X-JSON header, maybe?
