I AM TRYING TO MAKE A DAMN TOGGLE BOX, BUT USING MY OWN GRAPHIC AND HAVING THE MOUSECLICK TRIGGER BOTH SWITCHING THE GRAPHIC (via AJAX) AND SAVING THE STATE IN THE DATABASE.
I GOT IT ALL WORKING WITH NORMAL HTML GET CALLS TO THE SERVER, BUT I NEED IT TO BE AJAXIFIED SO THAT THE PAGE DOESN'T RELOAD. AND TO COMPLICATE MATTERS, IT HAS TO WORK IN A TABLE WITH AN ARBITRARY NUMBER OF ENTRIES, AND MUST OF COURSE SPECIFICALLY UPDATE ITS OWN ROW ONLY. So far: I have an orders table. I want to have a graphic within <div id=<%= '"' + order.id + '"' + '>' %>IMAGE</div>, which when clicked calls the link_to_remote method with an :action => "toggle". The toggle method then determines the current state of a BOOLEAN field in the database, switch that field, and then render with a call to the rjs file, which I want to update the image by replacing it with another image. If this new image is clicked it would go through a similar process to get back to the original state. But alas I cannot quite get there, because I can't seem to figure out how to get rjs to take a variable so that it will update only the tag on the row where the graphic is found. I basically need to be able to pass in order.idas the name of the html id to rjs, which apparently can only take strings. I wonder if a partial would solve this issue? Oh, will I ever be a jedi or must I always remain a padawan?
