I want an AJAX form to become part of the page when an item is clicked
(I have this part working.)
However, I am stumped at what should be really easy. I want my form
to have a "save" and a "cancel" button.
I have the "save" button working just fine.
The "cancel" basically calls a "cancel" action that replaces the AJAX
form with what was there. (or at least that is what it does in my
head.)
Do I have to create a second form that only has the cancel button in
it? Or do I need to style both buttons as links? Or is there a
better way?
Thanks in advance,
Alan

Depending on what you want it to look like you can use either
link_to_remote 'text to display', :url=>...
or
button_to_function 'button
text', :function=>remote_function(:url=>...)
In either case, the url refers to the action that will render your
original block are remove the form.
This is probably obvious to everyone else, but I found what I thought
was a VERY elegant solution to this problem:
<div id=<%='"item:'+@item.id.to_s + '"' %>>
stuff I wanted to go away here...
</div>
<input type="button" value="Cancel" <%= "onclick=$('item:" +
@item.id.to_s + "').remove();" %>>
I am hope this is helpful to someone else....
