Forum: Rails Spinoffs (closed, excessive spam) RJS on javascript disabled browsers

Good day,

I would like to ask on how to solve the problem regarding RJS on a
javascritpt disabled browsers. because when i disable the javascript
on my firefox and click on the submit button what i get is the
javascript.

Is there a way that if javascript is disabled the user will be
redirected to the erb file?

Thank you

I don't think you should get the RJS in return if the request is sent
from a non-JS context, given that you have an existing normal html
template for that action. If you get the RJS back, the action either
for some reason thinks that you want to get javascript back or doesn't
have anything else to return.

This list is being phased out, you should move your JS questions to
the new list here:

To your question, this isn't really a JavaScript related question as
it deals with the server responding to different content types. You
should look into RESTful style coding practices, wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer

But basically, in Rails, it is dealing with different content types
within a single action, such as:

def show
  respond_to do |wants|
    wants.html do
      # HTML response goes here
    end
    wants.js do
      render :update do |page|
        page.alert "hello from javascript"
      end
    end
end

Although, in Rails 2.1, the correct template type is rendered
automatically, so you don't necessary need to use respond_to anymore,
unless need some more complex logic in the controller action.
