Hey All,
I put a simple search box on my projects/index view, via the following observe_field call:
<%= observe_field('project_search', :url => { :controller => "projects", :action => "index_search"}, :update => "project-list", :loading => "Element.show('search_spinner')", :complete => "Element.hide('search_spinner')", :frequency => 1, :submit => 'search') -%>
The index_search action queries out the proper set of projects & renders the list to a partial, like so:
def index_search min_query_length = 1 q = params[:project_search]
if q.length > min_query_length then @projects = Project.find_by_name_fragment(q) || else order_by = params[:order_by] || 'statuses.name' @projects = Project.find(:all, :order => order_by, :include => 'status') end respond_to do |format| format.js do render :partial => "project_list.html.erb" end end end
That partial renders a table w/one row per project. This works just fine from FireFox. But from IE I don't get my table--just a blank page. So the records that used to be in my table id="project-list" are gone, but I don't see the new ones that index_search queried out of the db. Judging from the log, IE is indeed making the request to index_search, passing the params it should, etc. The log even says, e.g.,
Rendered projects/_project (0.01600) Rendered projects/_project_list.html.erb (0.10900)
But IE doesn't seem to want to actually *display* these guys. FF's web development toolbar tells me I'm in "standards compliance mode" when I pull up a searched list of projects, so I believe the markup is all kosher.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
