Hello,
I am having a problem with a pretty simple AJAX call in rails. I have a blog-style application and each post has a "like" feature. I want to be able to increment the "like" on each post in the index using AJAX onclick. I got it to work; however, the DOM is a bit tricky here, because no matter what partial its looking at, it will only update the TOP partial. so if I click "like" on post #2, it will update and
replace the "likes" on post #1 instead.
Code for _post partial:
<some code here...>
<div id="postcontent">
Posted <%= post.created_at.strftime("%A, %b %d")%> <br />
</div>
<div id="postlikes">
<%= link_to_remote 'Like', :url => {:controller => 'posts', :action => 'like_post', :id => post.id}%>
<%= post.like %>
</div>
code for _postlikes partial:
<div id="postlikes">
<%= link_to_remote 'Like', :url => {:controller => 'posts', :action => 'like_post', :id => @post.id}%>
<%= @post.like %>
</div>
</div>
like_post.rjs code:
page.replace_html "postlikes", :partial => "postlikes", :object => @post
page.visual_effect :highlight, "postlikes", :duration => 3
So this all works properly for the first "postcontent" div. But this is an index of posts, so if I wanted to updated the second "postcontent" div on the page, it will still
replace the html of the first.
I understand the problem, I just don't know how to fix it :)
Thanks in advance!
