Requesting information from user

[Jorge C.]

Hi,

I need to "popup" a message to the user in order he can choose an
option. It is not a YES-NO option but almost the same (has has to choose
among two options). It has to be a message with a question and two
buttons.

Is that possible on Rails?

Thanks!

Jorge

I believe the standard way to do this would be to show a previously
hidden div containing a form.

And that is possible using Rails or is it Javascript?

You would show and hide the element with JavaScript, but create it in Rails. Simple example:

<div id="favorite-color" style="display:none">
<%= form_for @knight do |f| %>
<%= f.label :favorite_color, 'What\'s your favorite color?' %>
<%= f.collection_select :favorite_color, %w(red green blue aaaaah), :to_s, :titleize, :prompt => true %>
<%= f.submit %>
</div>

<button id="color-button">Take the challenge!</button>

//script
$('color-button').observe('click', function(){
$('favorite-color').show();
});
