Memo to self: don't write code while being ill, you make stupid
mistakes. Updated code that should work better (pastie has also been
updated):
document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {
// pagination is the class will_paginate wraps around the links
$$('.pagination').each(function(pagination) {
// let's put the observer on the div element and not all the
links, your browser will thank you
pagination.observe('click', function(e) {
var clicked = $(e.target);
// time to see if the clicked item was indeed one of the links
if(clicked.match('a')) {
// if it was, stop the default page refresh and fire an ajax
request instead
// let's not forget a RESTful design wants use to use GET
instead of the default POST method
e.stop();
new Ajax.Request(clicked.href, {method: 'get'});
}
})
});
}
