Hello Everyone,

I hope you AJAX pros don't mind me asking such a simple question, but
it's been baffling me all weekend. I'm trying to learn the AJAX side
of rails and struggling with what I though would be fairly simple
operations. I'd like to add rows to a table, and use an effect, like
Slide Down or Highlight. However, when I tried to add them in the way
recommended by the book I'm going off of, it didn't work. Here's some
snippits of what I have:

My view:
-------------------------------
<% content_for("page_scripts") do -%>
function item_added()
{
var item = $('mytable').lastChild.lastChild;
new Effect.Highlight(item);
}
<% end -%>

<h1>Listing</h1>

<%= link_to 'New', :action => 'new' %>

<div id="mytable_div">
<table id="mytable">
<%= render(:partial => 'mytable') -%>
</table>
</div>

<br />
-------------------------------
_mytable.rhtml:
-------------------------------
<tr bgcolor="#999999">
<th><font color="#ffffff">Col1</font></th>
<th><font color="#ffffff">Col2</font></th>
<th><font color="#ffffff">Col3</font></th>
<th><font color="#ffffff">...</font></th>
<th><font color="#ffffff">Col9</font></th>
</tr>
<%= render(:partial => 'row', :collection => @items) -%>
-------------------------------
_row.rhtml:
-------------------------------
<tr bgcolor="#dddddd" id="timecard_<%= timecard.id %>">
<td><%=h item.val1 %></td>
<td><%=h item.val2 %></td>
<td><%=h item.val3 %></td>
<td>...</td>
<td><%=h item.val9 %></td>
</tr>
-------------------------------
Controller's new action:
-------------------------------
def new
item = MyClass.new()
render(:partial => 'row', :object => item, :layout => false)
end

The row is added by AJAX but no effect is called... any idea what I'm
doing wrong?
