Ajax page.replace_html model validation render partial error

Rails
1

Hi; I have the following setup:

A model: that validates using helpers like: validates_presence_of, etc…
A view: called ‘new’ which renders a partial
The partial: _form which has error_messages_for and a
form_remote_tag , submit_tag and end_form_tag

An action ‘create’: that gets executed via the submit_tag in the
_form and which
in case it can’t save, it renders a rjs template, that replaces the
html in the view with the _form
so as to present it to the user again along with the associated error
messages from the failed validation.

The rjs template called ‘fixer’ that does: page.replace_htm

The problem:
If the action ‘create’ can’t save because of an error on the
validation process, say validates_presence
detects an empty field, then the ‘create’ action will render the
‘fixer’ rjs which has a page.replace_html that replaces
the old _form in the view with a new one along with the error
messages from the failed validation.

So if that happens, I am getting in the view javascript trash and the
_form rendered twice.
I don’t know why. Here is the code:

I have a view called ‘new’ that renders a partial definded like this:

<%= render (:partial => 'form') %>

the partiall _form has this:

<%= error_messages_for ‘fotografoinfo’ %>

<%= form_remote_tag(:update => “info2”, :url => {:controller =>
‘admin’, :action => ‘create’}) %>

Nombre
<%= text_field 'fotografoinfo', 'nombre' %>

<%= submit_tag “Register” %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

the ‘create’ action in the controller looks like this:

def create
  @fotoinfo = Fotografoinfo.new(params[:fotografoinfo])
  if @fotoinfo.save
    flash[:notice] = 'Fotoinfo was successfully created.'
    redirect_to :action => 'list'
  else
    render :action => 'fixer'
  end
end

Then I have a rjs called fixer.rjs with this:

page.replace_html ‘info2’, :partial => ‘form’

Well it is not working, I get the partiall rendered two times into
the view ‘new’ and
there is a lot of javascript text and and errors that say:

try { Element.update(“datos_info2”, "
1 error prohibited this fotografoinfo from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

  * Nombre : Llena la informacion

\n \n
\n\n\n

Nombre
\n

\n\n

\n\n\n\n \n
\n\n\n"); } catch (e) { alert(‘RJS error:\n\n’ + e.toString()); alert
('Element.update(“info2”, "
1 error prohibited this fotografofacturainfo from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

  * Nombre : Llena la informacion

\n \n
\n\n\n

Nombre
\n

\n\n

\n
\n\n\n\n \n
\n\n\n");’); throw e }

Thanks a lot for your help
