Hello, I found this blog post while searching for help with JavaScript. I have recently changed browsers from Chrome to Internet Explorer 7. Now I seem to have a issue with loading JavaScript. Everytime I go on a website that needs Javascript, the page doesn’t load and I get a “runtime error javascript.JSException: Unknown name”. I can’t seem to find out how to fix the problem. Any help is very appreciated! Thanks

Found It’s doing somthing, it broke my forms built with formfor I wrote with this syntax:
object.formfield :method, :options , I got “wrong number of arguments (2 for 3)”
Looking at the helper, it look like it is accepting only the syntax:
form_field :object, :method, :options
This confirm the plugin is broken in rails 2.2.2
Too bad ):, I can’t rewrite all my forms,

Same here, installed and nothing is happening. May be rails 2.2.2 broke the plugin ?

Rails plugin not installing apparently for me either. Have used ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/livevalidation from a cmd, it executes yet no messages (a file being created or something like that). Any suggestions ? Thank you in advance !

It isn’t working on mine either. Nothing seems to be happening even though my model validation is hooked up correctly. Development in rails. Any ideas?

I love the plugin, but I can’t get it to work with rails as a plugin. I can add my own javascript in the view for a validation and it works, but the ‘install and let it work’ isn’t working, it just doesn’t try to validate anything in my form. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? I didn’t change anything form the install, just followed the directions and gave it a try.

Oops! Docs were slightly outdated; they are updated now.

I have also updated the Javascript library to version 1.3 (remember to rerun the rake task).

Thank you!

I would prefer something Web Forms 2 compatible http://www.whatwg.org/specs/ There are some libraries already, but probably not ready for production yet.

Hey Sergio

Well I guess I was depending too much on the info I got from you You wrote on the plugin page that it’s not working, so I considered it true and went with the javascript version. So does it work now? If it does, and you replaced the 1.2 with 1.3, drop me a message please and I’ll update the article.

Thanks for dropping by!
Peter
