[Proto-Scripty] Re: how to update a function with a remote call
Hey there,
Wanted to say thanks for all your help here.
The links especially.
I am still very new at all this and it's a lot to get my head around.
That site is excellent.

Hi,
You're taking the return value of `new Ajax.Request` and using it to
set the contents of `weather_table_one`. The return value of `new
Ajax.Request` is (of course) an Ajax.Request object. It's really worth
reading the documentation.
If you want to use the contents of the resource that the Ajax.Request
loads, you need to use the onSuccess callback:
function replace_weather_table(){
zoomy = map.getZoom();
new Ajax.Request('/weather/update_weather_tables?zoom='+zoomy,
onSuccess: function(response) {
weather_table_one.setContents(response.responseText);
}
});
};
Note that by default, Ajax requests are asynchronous, and so the
update will happen at some point after the `replace_weather_table`
function returns. You probably want to handle failures as well.

GEvent.addListener(map,moveend, replace_weather_table);
i would like to have the contents be those of a partial, but when
executed, the display only shows [object Object]
would appreciate any help, thanks

Hi,
Sorry, I missed out an opening bracket. Should have been:
function replace_weather_table(){
zoomy = map.getZoom();
new Ajax.Request('/weather/update_weather_tables?zoom='+zoomy, {
// ^--
this was missing
onSuccess: function(response) {
weather_table_one.setContents(response.responseText);
}
});
};
