Hi,
I am using Rails 3.0.3 with jQuery ujs.
I want to send a form remotely. The view template
**mains/index.html.erb** containing the form looks as follows:
...
<%= form_tag :remote => true, :controller => "mains", :action =>
"search", :format => :js do %>
<div class="dialog">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr class="prop">
<td valign="top" class="name">
<%= label_tag(:location_start, "Location Start:") %>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<%= text_field_tag(:location_start) %>
</td>
...
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div class="buttons">
<span class="button"><%= submit_tag("Search") %></span>
</div>
<% end %>
...
The controller mains_controller.rb looks as follows (removed
unnecessary stuff):
class MainsController < ApplicationController
def index
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
end
end
def search
respond_to do |format|
format.js { render :template => 'mains/search.js.erb'}
end
end
end
The view template **mains/search.js.erb** has the following content:
$('#search').html("<h1>Headline</h1>");
I am using search.js.erb instead of search.js.rjs due to instructions in
chapter "26.4 Write Less and Do More with JQuery" in Agile Web
Development with Rails (4h edition). I also added :format => :js due
to https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs/issues/closed/#issue/52.
When I call http://0.0.0.0:3000/mains/index and submit the form,
it's actually not submitted remotely, but the browser loads
http://0.0.0.0:3000/mains/search.js?remote=true instead. The browser
outputs `$('#search').html("<h1>Headline</h1>");`, instead of executing
the JavaScript by replacing div#search with `<h1>Headline</h1>` given.
I tried to find a solution but wasen't successful so far... Could anyone
help?
