Hello,

I have followed the tutorial on:

> **[Ajax on Rails](https://www.theregister.com/2007/01/15/ajax_rails_tutorial/)**
>
> Bringing together Ajax and Rails with Prototype

but when I tried to search I didn´t get any results at “XML”.  
I have the information in the database and everything seems to work  
fine.  
The server types “127.0.0.1 - - [23/Dec/2007:13:32:06 Västeuropa,  
normaltid] “POST /catalog/get\_article\_list HTTP/1.1” 200 9  
[http://localhost:3000/catalog/index](http://localhost:3000/catalog/index) → /catalog/get\_article\_list” when I  
entering something in the field.

I saw that there was some comments on this tutorial, but it should still  
work…  
Can somebody please send a a code correction, so it should work (I´m a  
newbie to RoR and Ajax).

Thank you!

Best regards,

Mark
