On one of my pages, i make a remote request to the update action of my school_subscribers controller with a jquery ajax call.
In my log, i can see that the action executes fine, and the corresponding js.rjs file is evaluated (i'm logging from inside that file and it all seems fine). I can see in the firebug console that i get a 200 back from the remote request. But, the code in the js.rjs file isn't actually executed. I tried the simplest possible case of having it just do
page.alert("hello")
but no joy.
I think that this is just a problem with how i have my jquery ajax options set up - possibly the datatype option. I tried omitting datatype, and setting it to 'script', or 'html' but neither worked.
here's my call:
function updateSubscriber(id, paramString){ jQuery.ajax({ async:true, type: "PUT", datatype: 'script', url: "/music_service/"+<%= @music_service.id %>+"/school_subscribers/"+id, data: (paramString), error: function(msg){ alert("Sorry, there was an error updating this subscriber"); } }); }
Can anyone see what i'm doing wrong? Should i be using an ajax call in this case?
