remote form not rendering

I am making a todo list application for learning purposes, but am having problems with getting the ajax buttons to show up.

The below code does not render out any text. I did check the category.name value and it works fine when not within the form_remote_tag.

I do have the javascript libraries within the head tag.

In the final rendered output all I get is a bunch of li elements.

Thanks for any help.

<li> <% form_remote_tag :url => {:action => :show_tasks, :id => category} do %>   <%= submit_tag category.name %> <% end %> </li>

Well it seems the issue was in the form_remote_tag. I used an older, deprecated, form tag and it then worked as it should.

I have looked over the syntax in comparison to a number of examples a book I have, and I can't see anything wrong with it, but there must be something.

'The one that works <li> <%= form_remote_tag :url => {:action => :show_tasks, :id => category} %>   <%= submit_tag category.name %> <%= end_form_tag %> </li>
