    <p>I'm working with a rails 3 app, and I want to use a sortable list. I'm working with the method shown <a href="http://awesomeful.net/posts/47-sortable-lists-with-jquery-in-rails" rel="nofollow">here</a>. My app uses JQuery, and there's a js file included in my app's layout that calls <code>$(document).ready()</code> to set up some visual stuff. That seems to be working fine.</p> <p>However, when I attempt to call <code>$(document).ready()</code> in my view template via <code>content_for :javascript</code> to set up the sortable list, that code never fires. I do have the requisite <code>yield :javascript</code> call in my layout file, and if I load the page and look at the source everything looks fine. The code never runs, though – i.e. this instance of <code>$(document).ready()</code> never fires.</p> <p>I've just found that if I replace <code>$(document).ready()</code> with <code>$(window).load()</code> then my js code runs. </p> <p>So my question is: <strong>Why would <code>$(document).ready()</code> fail and <code>$(window).load()</code> work?</strong></p> <h2>Code</h2> <p>This works:</p> <pre><code>&lt;% content_for :javascript do %&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(window).load(function(){ alert('it works!'); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>This doesn't work</p> <pre><code>&lt;% content_for :javascript do %&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ alert('it works!'); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Here's the Layout</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;&lt;%= content_for?(:title) ? yield(:title) : "Untitled" %&gt;&lt;/title&gt; &lt;!-- Reset Stylesheet --&gt; &lt;%= stylesheet_link_tag "reset" %&gt; &lt;!-- Main Stylesheet --&gt; &lt;%= stylesheet_link_tag "style" %&gt; &lt;!-- Invalid Stylesheet --&gt; &lt;%= stylesheet_link_tag "invalid" %&gt; &lt;%= javascript_include_tag :defaults, "nested_form", "DD_belatedPNG_0.0.7a", "simpla.jquery.configuration", "facebox", "jquery-ui.min" %&gt; &lt;%= yield :javascript %&gt; &lt;%= yield(:head) %&gt; &lt;%= csrf_meta_tag %&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body onload="initialize()"&gt;&lt;div id="body-wrapper"&gt; … </code></pre>

    3. COOK, sorry. I'll post some code…it's so simple that I'm not sure what to post. Wherever the problem is, I don't think it's in the way that I'm calling these functions or including them in the rails files.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
