hi guys, I am testing a new optional funtionality in my site with IE 8 after success with Firefox 3.6.3, chrome and safari.
The new functionality basically sees a "sub category" drop down list get generated in my form as soon as a "Category" value is selected from the "Category" drop down list. I have been using the standard rails api such as observe_field, and collective_select. Anyway, when I loaded up the webpage on IE8 and selected a value from the "Category" drop down list, the form fails to show the subcategory drop down list. Ajax doesn't seem to be working here in IE8. I know that rails uses prototype. I have read that prototype 1.6RC2 is fully compatible with IE 8 (http://www.prototypejs.org/2009/3/27/prototype-1-6-1-rc2-ie8- compatibility-element-storage-and-bug-fixes) . I downloaded it and reloaded the webpage . No difference. 1) has anyone managed to get around the problem whereby ajax use in IE8 fails? 2) has anyone got an alternative such as using observe_field/ observe_form and calling the whole url (appended with the selected values at the time to load the other dynamic values (in this case, category id which is appended to the url which would then load the whole page with a bunch of sub category values ) )? thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
