Hi Walter, Can you please elaborate on how exactly I would be able to use Event.preventDefault() with a conditional..?. Also why would I need to use a conditional..? I ask this as I am a newbie to Jquery and my javascript fundas are not very good.
To make it easier for you to answer this for me.. I have included the part of the code in the partial where you say it would be appropriate to put the button.. <%if @current_user.is_an_existing_member_of_group(@investor_group)%> <%form_for :group_post, @group_post, :url => {:action => :post_message, :id => params[:id]},:html => {:multipart => true} do |f| %> Start Discussion:<%=f.text_field :message%> <%= f.file_field :avatar %> <%=f.submit "Post" %> <%end%> <div id = "latest_post"> </div> <%for a in @group_all_posts %> <%if !a.avatar_file_name.to_s.empty? %> <br/> <%= image_tag a.avatar.url(:thumb) %> <%end%> <br/><%= a.message %> <br/> by <%= Investor.find(a.post_by).first_name %> <div class ="contentdispgrp" id="style_chck"> <%= distance_of_time_in_words(a.created_at,Time.now) %> ago </div><br/><br/> <hr/> <%end%> I would truly appreciate you extra effort in trying to help me.. Kindly bear with my being a novice. Many Thanks for your inputs..
