Problem with link_to_remote, RJS and jRails

Hi, everyone,

I'm trying to update the content of a div using link_to_remote and RJS template. Everything works fine if I use the default Prototype/Scriptaculous libraries, but I want to use jRails 'coz other parts of my application use a lot of jQuery. Here are the steps I done:

1. inside StatesController.rb I defined the following action: def update_view   # do nothing just render the default template, in my case a RJS template end

2. here's the whole update_view.rjs file: page.insert_html :bottom, 'result_view', "Hello, World!<br/>"

3. inside show.html.haml (I really don't like erb): = link_to_remote 'update view', :url => { :action => :update_view } #result_view

4. here is what I get in log/development.log when using Prototype/ Scriptaculous: Parameters: {"authenticity_token"=>"60e55877a4b807f568824ed36c5849e95dc07607", "action"=>"update_view", "controller"=>"states"}

5. here is what I get in log/development.log when using jRails Parameters: {"authenticity_token"=>"60e55877a4b807f568824ed36c5849e95dc07607", "action"=>"show", "id"=>"update_view", "controller"=>"states", "_"=>"1216305965026"}

The action called is "show" (the current one) instead "update_view".

I know it must be a jRails issue, and should post in jRails list, but I believe someone here could help me faster.

Thanks

Going up a level, what url are the two things hitting?

The URL that contains the link_to_remote is http://localhost/states/1 (showing a state)

The generated html for link_to_remote is:

1. for default rails librarires: <a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Request('/states/update_view', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, parameters:'authenticity_token=' + encodeURIComponent('0b492fd8ce19923563c844fe68d869c45b475b6d')}); return false;">update</a>

2. for jRails: <a href="#" onclick="$.ajax({data:'authenticity_token=' + encodeURIComponent('0b492fd8ce19923563c844fe68d869c45b475b6d'), dataType:'script', url:'/states/update_view'}); return false;">update</

both are pointing to same URL: /states/update_view

Did you by chance make a call to jQuery.noconflict() to prevent Prototype and jQuery from conflicting before you dropped in jRails?
