If you wish to use # these libraries and their helpers (ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper # and ActionView::Helpers::ScriptaculousHelper), you must do one of the # following: # # * Use <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> in the HEAD # section of your page (recommended): This function will return # references to the JavaScript files created by the +rails+ command in # your public/javascripts directory. Using it is recommended as # the browser can then cache the libraries instead of fetching all the # functions anew on every request. # * Use <%= javascript_include_tag 'prototype' %>: As above, but # will only include the Prototype core library, which means you are able # to use all basic AJAX functionality. For the Scriptaculous-based # JavaScript helpers, like visual effects, autocompletion, drag and drop # and so on, you should use the method described above. # * Use <%= define_javascript_functions %>: this will copy all the # JavaScript support functions within a single script block. Not # recommended. # # For documentation on +javascript_include_tag+ see # ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper. module JavaScriptHelper unless const_defined? :JAVASCRIPT_PATH JAVASCRIPT_PATH = File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'javascripts') end include PrototypeHelper # Returns a link that will trigger a JavaScript +function+ using the # onclick handler and return false after the fact. # # The +function+ argument can be omitted in favor of an +update_page+ # block, which evaluates to a string when the template is rendered # (instead of making an Ajax request first). # # Examples: # link_to_function "Greeting", "alert('Hello world!')" # Produces: # Greeting # # link_to_function(image_tag("delete"), "if (confirm('Really?')) do_delete()") # Produces: # # Delete # # # link_to_function("Show me more", nil, :id => "more_link") do |page| # page[:details].visual_effect :toggle_blind # page[:more_link].replace_html "Show me less" # end # Produces: # Show me more # def link_to_function(name, *args, &block) html_options = args.extract_options! function = args[0] || '' html_options.symbolize_keys! function = update_page(&block) if block_given? content_tag( "a", name, html_options.merge({ :href => html_options[:href] || "#", :onclick => (html_options[:onclick] ?
