I’ve been having a bit of trouble getting Webrick running properly on Ubuntu and Windows; and the resolution… ??? I don’t know, but the suggestions are to try Mongrel, which though a solution is a bit annoying as Webrick is there ready to go…
Installing Mongrel on Windows 7 was rather easy though; it involved
gem install mongrel
Then just navigating to the directory with the rails application in it and typing:
mongrel_rails start
CTRL-C stops the process.
The instructions here for installing the win32-service didn’t work, but this did help… So i ran the following command:
gem install win32-service –platform x86-mswin32
… and it installed. Now we need to install mongrel_service
gem install mongrel_service
… which fails… and i still need to resolve this 😦
I needed to have a class external to the controller’s and views that could generate a correctly formed Url using the UrlHelper.
I found this question on Stackoverflow which helped me with a solution. The solution was as follows:
HttpContextWrapper httpContextWrapper =
new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
UrlHelper urlHelper = new UrlHelper(
new RequestContext(
httpContextWrapper,
new RouteData()));
I previously got confused about the RouteData object, but it seems (unless I’m mistaken) to essentially be route values, which in this case i don’t need… Not sure on that though!
As constructed above, the UrlHelper is able to take the RequestContext and get all the registered routes and therefore generate a correctly structured url when you call Action etc.

Had this question come up at work and found a good answer on stackoverflow here. It basically involves handling the open event, finding the buttons and applying a style to them.
Firstly a simple bit of html:
<a id="to_dialog_a" href="javascript:void(0);">click me</a>
<div id="to_dialog" style="border: 1px solid gold; background-color: #336699"></div>
And here is some javascript to wire it up. In the example below I have done things a little differently as the application we are developing needs to be localized; so i used the button index.
Note: This example doesn’t have any jquery.ui css to deal with.
A whole example html file is located here
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#to_dialog_a").click(function() {
$("#to_dialog").dialog("open");
});
$("#to_dialog").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
buttons : {
ok: function() {
alert("you clicked me!");
},
what: function() {
alert("you clicked me!");
},
cancel: function() {
alert("you clicked me!");
}
}
,
open: function(event, ui) {
// Get the dialog
var dialog = $(event.target).parents(".ui-dialog.ui-widget");
// Get the buttons
var buttons = dialog.find(".ui-dialog-buttonpane").find("button");
var okButton = buttons[0];
var whatButton = buttons[1];
var cancelButton = buttons[2];
// Add class to the buttons
// Add class to the buttons
$(okButton).addClass("primary");
$(whatButton).addClass("secondary");
$(cancelButton).addClass("thirdary");
}
});
});
Found this little gem while trying to prevent selection behind the jQuery.treeview controll.
onselectstart="return false;" style="-moz-user-select: none;"
This worked for me on Chrome, IE 8, and FireFox 3.6.
Found this tidbit here.
Update: 2010-07-05 – Found this interesting extension to jQuery also. Note the replies also as they may be of use.
Very simple… To turn this off just go:
textarea {resize: none}
sudo apt-get install startupmanager
System > Administration > StartUp-Manager gives you a GUI for editing the Grub configuration
Login to server using “ssh -X” … ( not with a made up ip address though :o) )
ssh -X 196.139.12.32
Open the application on the remote computer. For example
DISPLAY=:0.0 gedit junk.txt
