    RoR and jQuery issue.

    Hey I am having a problem with jQuery and RoR.

    I have imported all the assets (js,css) into the public folders and called them in my layout file with <%= stylesheet_link_tag "style","etc.." %> and <%= javascript_include_tag "jquery-1.3.1","etc.." %> and brought in the HTML of the tabs. That doesn't seem to work please see screenshot1.

    I have researched many sites and I have not found a solution to my woes. Please help.

    Hey,

    Yeah, I will post output source.

    I am using the regular XHTML 1.0 Transitional doctype for both instances.

    They look the same, but of course the regular HTML page works. When I view selection source for choices in the drop down I see this [screenie]:

    Code:
    <div class="ui-tabs-panel ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom" id="tabs-3">
	 <a href="#">Choice 1</a><br>
	 <a href="#">Choice 2</a><br>
	 <a href="#">Choice 3</a><br>
	 <a href="#">Choice 4</a>
	</div>
    I researched some more and it looks like it's not loading because of this.

    Virtually all jQuery commands won’t function correctly unless they’re run after the DOM has fully loaded. jQuery’s way of solving this is something called a “document ready block.”

    jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    // commands go here
    })
    Is this the reason why it's not working? If it is can some one please tell me how to fix this? I am using the standard "jquery-1.3.1.js" & "jquery.ui.all.js" that come with the package sent from themeroller.

    Hi nuMERICA, welcome to the forums,

    If the functions need to run after the DOM is loaded in, try putting the script tag before the closing body tag in your .erb file(s) eg.
    Code Ruby:
    .......
    <ul id="navigation">
      <li><%= link_to 'Front page stories', stories_path %></li>
      <li><%= link_to 'Upcoming stories', bin_stories_path %></li>
      <li><%= link_to 'Submit a new story!', new_story_path %></li>
    </ul>
    <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
  </body>
</html>

    Thank you for the welcome, Mittineague, and for posting that suggestion.

    While troubleshooting the page I decided to host the JS files on my hosted server. It seems to be working! This does not make any sense, why would it not work when the files are local and why would it work when they are hosted on the web.

    Doesn't Work
    Code:
    <&#37;= javascript_include_tag "application","ui_demos","jquery-1.3.1","jquery.ui.all" %>
    Doesn't Work
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery-1.3.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/jquery.ui.all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/javascripts/ui_demos.js"></script>
    Works!
    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="MYDOMAIN/sandbox/jquery-1.3.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="MYDOMAIN/sandbox/jquery.ui.all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="MYDOMAIN/sandbox/ui_demos.js"></script>

    would it not work when the files are local and
    Because the '/' is root relative, meaning it would have to be your localhost/javascripts and not localhost/whatever. I suggest setting this up as a virtualhost in Apache.

    It is in my public->javascripts folder. I can access the file when I am on webrick by going to /javascripts/jquery-1.3.1.js [screenie1]. So the soft link to local is correct.

    Another thing. When I use the regular <%= javascript_include_tag "application","ui_demos","jquery-1.3.1","jquery.ui.all" %>, the page sees the js, it pulls it up, but it does not parse it for some reason. [screenie2]
