When I try to update content through ajax It doesn't work on Safari. I've opened a ticket http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/7087 for full reference. The test case is the next:
/app/controllers/problem_controller.rb
class ProblemController < ApplicationController def index render :action => 'index' end def myrequest render(:update) {|page| page.updateContent(params[:content])} end end
/app/controllers/problem_helper.rb
module ProblemHelper def updateContent(content) page.replace_html 'content', content end end /app/views/problem/index.rhtml
<html> <head> <%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> var Site = { loader: function(){ new Ajax.Request('/problem/myrequest',{ postBody:'content=this is a test', method:'post', asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, onFailure: function(transport) { $('content').innerHTML=transport.responseText; }, onComplete: function(transport){ alert(transport.responseText); } }); } } Event.observe(window,'load', function(){Site.loader()}); </script> </head> <body> <div id="content"></div> </body> </html>
I'm pretty sure that this works but only in gecko engines and IE. I was debugging the prototype.js and I realized using response.getAllResponseHeaders() function that Safari and Swift are not passing the headers therefore since the line 766 in prototype.js It's not executed:
if ((this.header('Content-type') ).match(/text\/javascript/i))
this.evalResponse();
By the way, for other example of this problem take a look at devjax.com, It's my site and has the same problem!
Many thanks for helpping
