Hi all, I tried to use ajax in a simple eshop application, but the page.replace_html fail in strange mode.
Controller code:
class mycontroller < ApplicationController # Some code
def login # Check user existence in db
# if the user exist replace the login form with the user menu' class mycontroller < ApplicationController # Some code
def login # Check user existence in db
# if the user exist replace the login form with the user menu' if session[:user] != nil create_user_menu end end
def create_user_menu @user = session[:user]
render :update do |page| page.replace_html "login", :partial => 'user_menu', :locals => { :user => @user } page.visual_effect :highlight, "login" end end end
Layout code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html> <!-- code to build the layout -->
<div id="login"> <%= render :partial => 'login' %> </div>
<!-- more code... --> </html>
The partial _login.rhtml code:
<%= start_form_tag({:action => 'login'}, {:name => 'form_login'}) %> <%= render :partial => 'login_form' %> <div id="submit_link"> <%= link_to_function("Login", "document.form_login.submit()") %> </div> <%= end_form_tag %>
The partial _user_menu.rhtml contain only a simple html table. When i click on "Login" link, the browser show a new page with my_controller/login action and the code generted by the js helper, instead the correct user menu in the page my_controller. Where is the error?
Thanks in advance, Emiliano.
