Hi,
I am new to web2py and it is a fantastic framework! The online book is
quite helpful until this week. I tried two AJAX examples but none of
them works and I don't have a clue what went wrong there.
First one is the wiki example:
---------------------------------
def search():
"an ajax wiki search page"
return dict(form=FORM(INPUT(_id='keyword',
_onkeyup="ajax('bg_find', ['keyword'], 'target');")),
target_div=DIV(_id='target'))
def bg_find():
"an ajax callback that returns a <ul> of links to wiki pages"
pattern = '+ request.vars.keyword.lower() + '
pages = db(db.page.title.lower().like(pattern))\
.select(orderby=db.page.title)
items = [A(row.title, _href=URL(r=request, f=show, args=row.id))
\
for row in pages]
return UL(*items).xml()
------------------------------------
Nothing shows up when I type or submit my request.
Second one is the auto complete example:
------------------------------------
def month_input():
return dict()
def month_selector():
if not request.vars.month:
return "
months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May',
'June', 'July', 'August', 'September' ,'October',
'November', 'December']
selected = [m for m in months \
if m.startswith(request.vars.month.capitalize())]
return ".join([DIV(k,
_onclick="jQuery('#month').val('k')",
_onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='yellow'",
_onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='white'"
).xml() for k in selected])
----------------------------------
Again, nothing shows up.... I was using Chrome on linux.... Could
anyone tell me how to get it work please? Many thanks!!!
Cheers,
Zhe
