Thanks for the tutorial.

I’m really new to Ruby on Rails, but I was curious. How could the Web page “invoke” the functionality of a form submission, in order to activate Javascript/JQuery code?

Perhaps this is a fundamental axiom with this framework, but I’m very green to RoR.

I currently have Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 3.0.9. I’ve also installed the “jquery-rails” gem, whereby my application uses JQuery for its Javascript library, rather than Prototype. How would I update information, dynamically, “after” a page loads?

I’m trying to fetch info from another site for an area of a page, after it’s loaded. I don’t want the user to wait for the entire page to load, because the page is waiting for one DIV’s content to render.

Would anyone have any feedback on that? I’ve thought of doing the work you outline in this tutorial, but I don’t want to have to force a user to click on a form link on my page, in order to do that.

Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance RoR community!!

Thanks a lot, Bernat – this was very helpful for me too… nice job writing: just enough info but not more.

I really appreciate the simplicity of the tutorial. I still have not yet digested all of it, but it’s in a wonderful bite sized chunk. Thanks!

@bernat: I liked your example so much that I made a fork of myCommentsApp and tweaked it to use the latest Rails with postgresql with README instructions on how to deploy it on Heroku. See github link above.

This was a great help -- thanks. BTW, a slightly cleaner way to include jQuery in your app: [1] add the line gem 'jquery-rails' to your Gemfile [2] execute bundle install on the command line [3] execute rails generate jquery:install on the command line That will remove the unused prototype code, install jQuery and jquery_ujs. Now you can leave the original javascript_include_tag :defaults in views/layouts/application.html.erb.
