How do you use the type = select

[burtondav]

I'm trying to use the type = select

The field pops up and there is a select box, but the values don't show up.

The Task record has a foreign key = rating_id and the value I want to show from the rating table is = ratingname

This is my view code:

      <a href="#" class="answer" data-type="select" data-placement="right" data-resource="task" data-source="/ratings" data-name="ratingname" data-url="/tasks/<%= task.id %>" data-original-title="Select Rating">
        <%= textarea_format(task.rating.ratingname) %>
      </a>

I've almost got it to work.

My RABL:

object @rating
attributes :ratingname => :text, :id => :value

I get the ratingname as the dropdown list ! I have the following happen when a value is selected !!

UPDATE "tasks" SET "rating_id" = 2, "updated_at" = '2013-03-28 08:21:36.869872' WHERE "tasks"."id" = 36

So, the dropdown list is good, the update is good.

BUT, the popup box with the rating select list turns red and doesn't go away! And there are no errors in the browser console.

Made it work. I had to change the controller for tasks in the update section.

From: format.json { head :ok } To: format.json { render json: @task }
