When I hardcode a form into a div and try to get a handle on it via $ ('') it works. When I include the txt dynamically via an AJAX update() it doesnt:
----------JS-------------------- function doUpdate(id, url) { new Ajax.Updater(id, url); } doUpdate('search', 'search'); doUpdate('menu', 'menu'); function doSearch(event) { new Ajax.Updater('menu', 'menu', { parameters: { txt: $('txt').value } }); event.preventDefault(); } function addObservers() { $('searchForm').observe('submit', doSearch); } Event.observe(window, 'load', addObservers); -----form HTML-------- Search <form method="post" id="searchForm" style="display: inline"> <input type="text" name="txt" id="txt" size="20"/> <input type="submit" name="btnSubmitSearch" id="btnSubmitSearch" value="Go!"/> </form> -----------HTML---------- <body> <div id="search"> <!-- stuff here either inserted via ruby ajax post OR hardcoded --> </div> <div id="menu"> </div> </body> ------------------ Now I get $('searchForm') is null when i use doUpdate('search', 'search'); - gets it via ruby http post If however i comment out "doUpdate('search', 'search');" and instead actually hardcode into the div I looked into defer() but it didn't help.
