How to make facebox popup remain open and the content inside the facebox changes after the submit
- by Leonardo Dario Perna
Hi,
I'm a jQuery total n00b.
In my rails app this what happen:
I'm on the homepage, I click this link:
<a href='/betas/new' rel='facebox'>Sign up</a>
A beautiful facebox popup shows up and render this views and the containing form:
# /app/views/invites/new
<% form_tag({ :controller => 'registration_code', :action => 'create' }, :id => 'codeForm') do %>
<%= text_field_tag :code %>
<br />
<%= submit_tag 'Confirm' %>
<% end %>
I clink on submit and if the code is valid the user is taken on another page in another controller:
def create
# some stuff
redirect_to :controller => 'users', :action => 'type'
end
Now I would like to render that page INSIDE the SAME popup contains the form, after the submit button is pressed but I have NO IDEA how to do it. I've tried FaceboxRender but this happens:
Original version:
# /controllers/users_controller
def type
end
If I change it like that nothing happens:
# /controllers/users_controller
def type
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js { render_to_facebox }
end
end
If I change it like that (I know is wrong but I'm a n00b so it's ok :-):
# /controllers/users_controller
def type
respond_to do |format|
format.html { render_to_facebox }
format.js
end
end
I got this rendered:
try {
jQuery.facebox("my raw HTML from users/type.html.erb substituted here")'); throw e }
Any solutions?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
