Hi,
I have a button which sends an ajax request, see below:
<p><%= link_to "Save", {:controller => 'budgets', :action => 'validate', :id => @budget}, :class => "button post" %></p>
The jquery js is below, i basically attach the xhr request to any link with a class of "post" which is above. This all works fine in firefox but not in safari or chrome.
/* Post data via html Use the class post in your link declaration <%= link_to 'My link', my_new_path(),:class => "post" %> */ jQuery.fn.postWithAjax = function() { this.unbind('click', false); this.click(function() { $.post($(this).attr("href"), $(this).serialize(), null, "script"); return false; }) return this; };
function ajaxLinks(){ $('a.post').postWithAjax(); }
$(document).ready(function() { // All non-GET requests will add the authenticity token $(document).ajaxSend(function(event, request, settings) { if (typeof(window.AUTH_TOKEN) == "undefined") return; // IE6 fix for http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/3155 if (settings.type == 'GET' || settings.type == 'get') return;
settings.data = settings.data || ""; settings.data += (settings.data ? "&" : "") + "authenticity_token=" + encodeURIComponent(window.AUTH_TOKEN); });
ajaxLinks(); });
I get the following error message in the logs when trying to click the link in safari.

My own personal hunch from googling around is its something to do with the authentiaction token but nothing i have tried has fixed this.
Has anyone got any idea what is wrong?
