Mootools, Rails and Ajax

Recently, I've decided to include the excellent mootools in my projects. So, out prototype and scriptaculous, in mootools.

Everything went well up to the point i had to add some ajax into the story...

I am ok not to use remote_ helpers, but it seems nothing comes back... As a newbie in this whole rails environment, i think i'm getting into something much bigger than my scope of knowledge.

so basically, i have in js a request that looks like this:

new Ajax('/test', {     method:'get',     data:'abc123',     update:'debug',     onComplete:'function(){alert("complete")} }

and in my controller:

def test render "you passed #{params[:data]} end

but absolutely nothing is passed to my debug, and no alert is being triggered.

please.... help :frowning:

I got to use firebug, which is great :slight_smile: thks, now my ajax request goes thorugh i run into another problem of returning a response without the use of ActionView::Helpers::PrototypeHelper::JavaScriptGenerator::GeneratorMethods

does anyone have an example of a typical response that wouldn't use page.insert_thml or page.replace_html ??

Hi, I too came across same problem. I am using mootools with rails. Can you help in solving how to handle ajax response and request.
