Hi friends,
I was using the rails recipes for the feature called Lightning fast auto completer where we search and save the contents to be displayed in the JavaScript Array .
something like in some .js file
var authors = new Array(<%= @authors.size %>);
<% @authors.each_with_index do |author, index| %>
authors[<%= index %>] = "<%=
author.name %>";
<% end %>
and do this in the head section the rhtml file <head>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
<script src="/book/authors_for_lookup" type="text/javascript"></script>
and in the controller def authors_for_lookup
@authors = Author.find(:all)
response.headers[' content-type' ] = ' text/javascript'
end
but when i tried sourcing the jjs file through the html file it wasnt able to find the js file
so i placed the script in the head section of the rhtml file somewhat like ..
<head>
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
<script type="text/javascript">
var authors = new Array(<%= @authors.size %>);
<% @authors.each_with_index do |author, index| %>
authors[<%= index %>] = "<%=
author.name %>";
<% end %>
</script>
it works fine in Mozilla firefox any version
but i get error while i use Internet explorer 7.0 and lower .
it asks me to save the file
i think theres some problem with the
response.headers which we are using in the controller
can some one give me a solution
please feel free to reply or mail me at
mba.piy...@gmail.comthank you
PS.Can someone explain what does this response.headers do i tried @headers but that was deprecated in the latest version of rails.
