</div>

\<% form\_remote\_for :user, @user, :url =\> { :action =\> “create” } do |f|  
%\>  
.  
.  
\<%= submit\_tag “Add user” %\>

controller:  
def create  
@user = User.new(params[:user])

```
if @user.save
  if(request.xhr?)
         flash[:notice] = "OK ADDED"
         redirect_to :action => :index
  else
    flash[:notice] = "not xhr"
  end
end

```

end

When I run this, it doesn’t seem to pass request.xhr? so it never  
redirects.

What’s wrong with this?
