New RJS naming convention

I've renamed my .rhtml files to .html.erb and everything works fine.

Renaming .rjs to .js.rjs; however, does not. Pages don't render unless I specifically tell them to using render :template.

Any thoughts? Is the .js.rjs naming convention not quite ready yet?

Thanks,

Norman

Yes, js.rjs works just fine in Rails 2.0.2.

You must be missing something. I did a simple useless test to just hide a div using RJS. Here how it looks:

routes.rb:   map.resources :offers, :collection => { :hide => :get }

offers_controller:   def hide     respond_to do |format|       format.js     end   end

hide.js.rjs:   page.hide "hide_me"

index.html.erb: <p><%= link_to_remote "Hide Me", :url => { :action => 'hide' } %></p> <div id="hide_me">   Some stuff to hide </div>

application.html.erb: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd&quot;&gt;

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head>   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>   <title>Hello World</title>   <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> </head> <body> <%= yield %> </body> </html>

Yes, you need the "respond_to do |format|" specified in your controller. Prior to 2.0, rjs files worked without this. Now they don't, as far as I can tell.
