I'm pretty new to ruby and rails and have been racking my brain for a
few hours on this one. I have set up a text_field_with_auto_complete
and it works great. It talks to my controller correctly, firing my
method that queries mySQL and returns a nice <ul> to select from all
with CSS. Ok great.
Now I want to be able to capture the ID of the item that the user will
select from. I have tried using :after_update_element as described on
script.aculo.us and elsewhere on the web. No luck. It never seems to
fire.
As a test I created a javascript file (placed it in the javascripts
folder, and include it in my header) that looks like this:
function get(text, li) {
alert(li.id);
}
Then I call this function from my autocompleter text field like so:
Plan Name:
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :plan, :name, {}, :skip_style =>
true, :frequency => 0, :indicator => "spinner", :after_update_element
=> 'get' -%>
<%= image_tag 'spinner.gif', :id => 'spinner', :style => 'display:
none'%>
Oh, and my dropdown partial looks like this:
<ul class="plans">
<% for plan in @plans do -%>
<li id="<%= plan.id %>", class="plan"><%= plan.name%></li>
<% end %>
</ul>
I don't get any alert called. I've tried so many variations with no
luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
