Solved my own...
I was going at it all wrong. Instead of an ajax call, I just grabbed
the value of the dialog textarea and then assigned it to the textarea in
the original form.
Here's my code for anyone that has the same problem.
- application.js -
function viewDialog(x){
jQuery.ui.dialog.defaults.bgiframe = true;
jQuery(function(){
jQuery('#dialog').dialog({
url:'projects/show',
title:x,
width:400,
height:550,
hide:'blind',
show:'blind',
resizable:true,
buttons:
{
'Cancel': function(){
jQuery(this).dialog('close').effect('blind');
jQuery(this).dialog('close').dialog('destroy');
},
'Submit Comments': function(){
//NEW LINES
var notes = jQuery('textarea#irbProject_notes').val();
jQuery('textarea#notes').val(notes);
}
});
}
- new.html.erb -
// This the the DIV for the dialog. I placed it before the "form_for"
<div id="dialog" style="display:none">
<% form_for :irbProject, :url => { :controller => 'project', :action
=> 'update'} do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
<%= f.text_area :notes, :size => '50x30' %>
<% end %>
</div>
// Here is the table row in the "form_for"
<tr>
<td>
<%= f.label :comments, "Notes/Comments", {:tabIndex => 6} %><br />
<%= link_to_function('Comments Window',
'viewDialog("Notes/Comments")') %>
</td>
<td><%= f.text_area :notes, :size => "50x5", :id=>'notes' %> </td>
</tr>
I hope this helps anyone.
