open a modal window for registration

Hello, all!

As first: am a newbie in RoR.

The problem is: I need a modal widow to show some registration fields for my site.

There is a main window with a button "Register" on it. After pressing the button the user should get a modal window with typical fields name, surname, username, password and so on AND two buttons OK and Cancel. After filling all the fields or pressing one of the buttons the controller should get the answer and all the data filled in.

As an example I got a jquery script opening a modal window. But no matter what I try - I cannot get it working in Ruby!! :((( In the example it works fine! But not in Ruby!

In attachment there is the working example. If anyone understands how it can be used in Ruby - please help me!

Thanx a lot in advance!

Not the fault of Ruby. The example you gave was purely a client-side scenario, although my bet is that Prototype (which comes with RoR) is conflicting with jQuery.

You have 3 options:

1. Ditch Prototype and use jQuery instead.

2. Make Prototype and jQuery play nice with each other.

3. Port your jQuery code to Prototype.
