Navigating The Science (And Sociology) Of 'Traffic' : NPR
Vanderbilt's book Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us) explores the sociology of driving — why roads are most congested on Saturdays, what percentage of traffic is drivers simply looking for parking, why new cars crash more often than old ones. The book is based on research and interviews with driving experts and traffic officials around the world.

Dreamweaver CS3 bug?
working on some CSS and added
#header { background-color: ccc; }
to the style shee. looked OK when I refreshe the Design view in dreamweaver. previewed it in a browser. There was no background color. I checked to make sure the link paths were correct. I soon noticed I didn't have the # before the color value. D'oh!

I needed a refresher with RJS so I watched Peepcode’s screencast on RJS. I know it was not rails 2 so I decided to share what I changed to make it work with rails 2.
I used the SQL lite db for the demo. To set it up I created the rails project
rails rjs_demo
I used the scaffold to get it off the ground
script/generate scaffold Task name:string value:integer
And that will take care of the CRUD, routes and all that fun stuff.
You don’t need the dom_id plugin we can use the div_for
I’m just used the index.html.erb file instead of making a list file.
I added to the routes file
:collection => { :hello => :any }
To the map.resources :tasks line and the link now says
map.resources :tasks, :collection => { :hello => :any }
The link for the say hello
<%= link_to_remote "Say Hello", :url => hello_tasks_path %>
Instead of
<%= link_to_remote "Say Hello", :url => tasks_url(:action => 'hello') %>
In the tasks_controller.rb add a hello method.
def hello respond_to do |format| format.js end end
add into the views/tasks folder the file hello.js.rjs
page.alert "hello world!"
Partials.
For the tasks partial create the _task.html.erb file.
With rails 2 you can call a partial but using <%= render :partial => @tasks %>
and then in the task instead of using the dom_id you can use the div_for
Highlight me.
In routes file I added
:member => { :highlight => :post }
to the map.resources :tasks line. It should read
map.resources :tasks, :collection => { :hello => :any }, :member => { :highlight => :post }
that gives us the route
highlight_task POST /tasks/:id/highlight {:action=>"highlight", :controller=>"tasks"}
so the link is <%= link_to_remote "highlight me ", :url => highlight_task_path(task) %>
In the controller
def highlight @task = Task.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.js end end
And make the highlight.js.rjs file
the form.
you can use the remote_form_for
<%= error_messages_for :task %> <% remote_form_for(:task, :url => tasks_path, :html => {:id => "task_form"}) do |f| %> <p> <b>Name</b><br /> <%= f.text_field :name %> </p> <p> <b>Value</b><br /> <%= f.text_field :value %> </p> <p> <%= f.submit "Create" %> </p> <% end %>
And in the index.html.erb file call the partial
<%= render :partial => 'form' %>
Don't forget the add the format.js in the is @save section
Now make the create.js.rjs file
page.insert_html :bottom, 'tasks', :partial => @task page['task_form'].reset
When adding the super_special class I changed the link to
page.call "set_class_name", "task_#{@task.id}", 'super_special'
and it works
now destroy
In the destroy.js.rjs file
page.remove "task_#{@task.id}"
and add the format.js to the destroy method.
The destroy link will look like.
<%= link_to_remote "destroy", :url => task_path(task), :method => :delete, :confirm => "Do you want to delete '#{task.name}'?" %>
Replace.
_totals.js.rjs file I used this line
page.replace_html 'task_totals', @task_totals
The shared error file
create the shared folder and add an error.js.rjs file to it
the code it the same in the rjs file
in the tasks_controller in the condidtional andd this for an error
format.js { render :template => "shared/error.js.rjs" }
that will make the popup work.
These are my rough notes.
