javascript rendered as text: why?

hello,

in order to add some ajax-calls to a site, I did a little test. The problem is that the result of the javascript is rendered as text.

I use rails 3.1.12

In the view that contains a test link to trigger the javascript I have

<td><%= link_to factuur.nummer, toon_facturen_path( :id => factuur.id,
                                        :format => :js,
                                        :remote => true) %></td>

In the FacturenController.pm I have

def toon
    logger.error( "toon....")
    @factuur = Factuur.find(params[:id])
    respond_to do |format|
        format.js   # toon.js.rjs
    end
end

The layout file starts with

brieven- en facturenarchief <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %> <%= javascript_include_tag :application %> <%= csrf_meta_tags %>

The rjs-file toon.js.rjs contains a simple test statement:

page.replace_html( ‘status’, ‘

test

’)

When I follow the link, the following is rendered on the screen:

Element.update("status", "<p>test</p>");

(which isn’t exact the contents of the rjs) and the server says Started GET “/facturen/toon.js?id=1&remote=true” for 127.0.0.1 at Tue Mar 18 14:30:43 +0100 2014 Processing by FacturenController#toon as JS Parameters: {“id”=>“1”, “remote”=>“true”} toon… Factuur Load (1.0ms) SELECT “facturen”.* FROM “facturen” WHERE “facturen”.“id” = 1 LIMIT 1 respond_to…

Rendered facturen/toon.js.rjs (4.0ms) Completed 200 OK in 92ms (Views: 51.0ms | ActiveRecord: 1.0ms)

However, the resulting page shows the text of toon.js.rjs in HTML-pre-tags

In addition I can mention config/application.rb requires prototype-rails and app/assets/application.js contains the lines

//= require prototype //= require prototype_ujs //= require effects //= require dragdrop //= require controls

I am out of ideas. Can somebody help me out of this?

thanks in advance, Ruud

It is because of a misplaced right parenthisis. De resulting link from the link_to was like … and no data-remote attribute was given.

Clearly, <%= link_to factuur.nummer, toon_facturen_path( :id => factuur.id, :format => :js, :remote => true**)** %>

should have been <%= link_to factuur.nummer, toon_facturen_path( :id => factuur.id, :format => :js**)**, :remote => true %>

Thank you all for your time, Ruud
