rails rjs - things i learned the hard way | xi
too many div’s and things go POOF!
When you have a styled div set with an id inside another div on safari at least. I’m going to explore this further, but it seems at this point I’m stacking my nodes too deep, MEANING if a styled div is inside another div that is replaced by an rjs template which has a visual effect to appear the styled stuff inside the div inside the one affected by the javascript response will remain hidden while all the stuff around it will pop into view. Selecting on the screen around the blank areas will reveal the content. Use span’s or class declarations to avoid the same 4 hours of frustration I just had. Of course this could all be wrong and I’m foolishly pointing west when the true way is north. In any case it wasn’t working as expected and now it is so I am of the mind that I solved my problem, be it maybe for only a moment.
remember to float the containers holding the floats
And clear your floats. Boxes are a pain. Tables are ugly. Love thy stacked attributes.
That is all.
