What is my document onLoad hander in Rails?

I want to use a plugin to make most of my models inline editable, but I don't understand the following:

To use it, include jquery.rest_in_place.js in your template and execute the following in your document’s onLoad handler:

jQuery(".rest_in_place").rest_in_place();

Where do I place this?

Solution

  • They likely mean the jQuery document ready event.

    Inside your <head> section, place a $(document).ready(); like this.

    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(document).ready(function() {
            jQuery(".rest_in_place").rest_in_place();
        });
    </script>
</head>

    Or

    <head>
      <script type="text/javascript">
          jQuery(function() {
               jQuery(".rest_in_place").rest_in_place();
          });
      </script>
</head>
