partial-views

Hopefully have a simple question here but I cannot for the life of me seem to find the answer. Just started working with RoR but came from ASP MVC before. I am having an issue rendering partial views whose local variables are not necessarily tied to the variables of the main view. For instance, with a blog I am trying to render a sidebar that will link to the archive. def sidebar @blog_posts = Blog.all(:select => "created_at") @post_months = @blog_posts.group_by { |m| m.created_at.beginning_of_month } end The partial view _sidebar is as follows: <div class="archives"> <h4>Blog Archive</h4> <%

In ASP.NET MVC, what is the preferred pattern for running Javascript on a partial view that is loaded via Ajax? For example, suppose you need to wire up some click events in your partial view. Of course, putting something like this in the partial view would not work, because the document ready event won't fire after the partial view is Ajax loaded. <script type="text/javascript"> $(function() { $("a.foo").click(function() { foo(); return false; }); }); </script> I suppose something like this might work, but is it safe? <script type="text/javascript"> $("a.foo").click(function() { foo(); return

I am getting ActionView::MissingTemplate error when using render_to_string method with partial views, below the code bizz = render_to_string(:partial => "biz_new",:layout => false) Even though i have explicitly specified :layout => false , i am getting the MissingTemplate error always. But render_to_string with normal views works fine in the same project. what could be the reason? below the stack trace ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing partial businesses/biz_new with {:handlers=>[:erb, :rjs, :builder, :rhtml, :rxml], :formats=>[:text, " / "], :locale=>[:en, :en]} in view paths "/home/ramesh

I'm trying to learn the new ASP .NET MVC framework and would like to know the best practice for using UserControls. I understand that you can render UserControl's as a partial and pass data to them from a controller. Ideally I would think that it makes sense not to have a code behind file as this creates a temptation to break the MVC rules. I'll give an example where I don't understand how UserControls fit into the pattern. I have a UserControl that shows the latest tags (much like on StackOverflow). Unlike StackOverflow I want to display this UserControl on all of my pages. If I have a

I have a company object which has a list of branch objects, my company view(residing in the company directory) has a strongly typed branch list view (residing in the branch directory)in it, each branch in the branch view has a delete button which I want to post to a delete action in the branch controller. at present the invoked delete action is the one in the company controller (there is a delete action in both company and branch) I believe I understand the reason it is doing what it is, however what is the best practice in this situation.... should the branch list partial view reside in the

I'm using MVC 3 with unobtrusive javascript for client validation. I have a table with rows which are clickable. When clicked I want to bring up a dynamically loaded partial view. This is the code for this: function GetStuff(id) { $.ajax( { url: "Edit/" + id, success: function (result) { $("#DivTest").html(result); } }); } This far everything works. The problem is when I'm trying to save something in the partial using jquery. The form is hijacked, like this: $(function () { $.post($(this).attr("action"), $(this).serialize(), function (data) { alert("test"); }); e.preventDefault(); }); This all
