Issues using Table Sorter with Ruby on Rails

in Using jQuery Plugins • 9 years ago

Hello, I have a huge issue with the table sorter plugin currently. For some reason, even though everything shows up fine, when I click on a header nothing is sorting itself out. I have seen other people successfully use table sorter with ruby on rails but I am having a strong issue with it.

Here is my index.html.erb

<head>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#items").tablesorter();
}
);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>All Items</h1>
<table id="items" class="tablesorter tablesorter-blue">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="header">Item Name</td>
<td class="header">Category</td>
<td class="header">Item Description</td>
<td class="header">Cost to Acquire</td>
<td class="header">Auction Bought At</td>
<td class="header">Auction Date</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<% @items.each do |item| %>
<tr>
<td><%= item.itemName %></td>
<td><%= item.category %></td>
<td><%= item.itemDesc %></td>
<td><%= item.costToAcquire %></td>
<td><%= item.auctionBoughtAt %></td>
<td><%= item.auctionDate %></td>
<td><%= link_to "Delete",item_path(item), method: :delete,data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?' } %></td>
<td><%= link_to "Edit", edit_item_path(item) %></td>
</tr>
<% end %>
</tbody>
</table>
<%= link_to "Add an Item", new_item_path, class: "new_item" %>
</body>

Here is my Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'jquery-tablesorter'
gem 'jquery-turbolinks'
# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '4.0.4'
# Use sqlite3 as the database for Active Record
gem 'sqlite3'
# Use SCSS for stylesheets
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 4.0.2'
# Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets
gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.3.0'
# Use CoffeeScript for .js.coffee assets and views
gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
# See https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
# gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby
# Use jquery as the JavaScript library
gem 'jquery-rails'
# Turbolinks makes following links in your web application faster. Read more: https://github.com/rails/turbolinks
gem 'turbolinks'
# Build JSON APIs with ease. Read more: https://github.com/rails/jbuilder
gem 'jbuilder', '~> 1.2'
group :doc do
# bundle exec rake doc:rails generates the API under doc/api.
gem 'sdoc', require: false
end
# Use ActiveModel has_secure_password
# gem 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.7'
# Use unicorn as the app server
# gem 'unicorn'
# Use Capistrano for deployment
# gem 'capistrano', group: :development
# Use debugger
# gem 'debugger', group: [:development, :test]

And here is my application.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Debsmiscriver</title>
<%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", media: "all", "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
<%= javascript_include_tag params[:controller], "data-turbolinks-track" => true %>
<%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
<%= yield %>
</body>
</html>

Any help would be seriously appreciated!

Ruby on Rails should have nothing to do with it. jQuery works with the HTML/JS/CSS that's delivered to the browser.

You should be able to debug using your browser's built-in inspection tools. Have you tried? You'll be working with HTML/JS/CSS, and so, again, anything about Ruby on Rails is irrelevant.

Do you have errors on the Javascript console? Are all your scripts loading successfully?

Make it work with a simple, static HTML page first. Then add it to your Rails project. If it doesn't work, something is different. Inspect to see what is different.

When describing problems here, it's best to provide a link to a jsFiddle, or else a link to your site, so that we can try it out ourselves. It's usually not very useful to post server code.

watusiware -- Thank you I didn't even think of it being a JS problem. Basically my problem now is that it isn't loading the files correctly into my server, for which I have no idea why at this point.
