Problems using YUI Panel
I use quite a few YUI panel objects as inline popups used for gathering and displaying information. Using the modal dialog option caused an IE error message: ‘A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly …’ which caused me great worry until I discovered the cause and fix. I also had issues with KeyListener events being executed after a dialog had been closed. Finally, finding when to initialize the dialogs was a challenge.
Strange server errors posting an Ajax form
I just wrestled with getting a form to post via ajax. I have done this before but had a bunch of issues crop up this time including strange intermitten server errors that only seemed to occur on Firefox. I resolved it by using the extremely handy YUI connection manager ’setForm’ function to process the data for me. I also found a problem when submitting a non-rails created form that caused an ctionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken error.
