Ajax.Request with page reload?

Rails

I need to send a POST request via a link, along with paramater data for
an action, and the page needs to reload. link_to_remote worked great
when I was updating a DOM element but obviously won’t work when I need
to reload a page. Is there an option

I thought that ajax is to send and receive data asynchronously from a
server, without reloading the page, and optionally updating some parts
of the current page by using DOM.

I wouldn’t use ajax to reload the page, instead I would use javascript,
doing somethink like this:

var parameters = ‘var1=hello&var2=’ + $F(‘myTextField’);
windows.location = ‘http://mypage.com.ar/mycontroler’ + parameters;

Using RJS it’s easy:

page.redirect_to(some_url(:id => ‘foo’))

Or if you’re not using RJS templates, you can embed RJS in your link to
remote tag:

link_to_remote(:url => (some_url),
:complete => render(:update) {|page| page.redirect_to(some_url)}
)

Or if you’re don’t want to use RJS at all, I believe you can just use
the javascript equivalent

window.location.href = ‘/some_url/foo/1’;
// Not completely sure of the above syntax but
// its something like that

It sounds to me like you don’t want AJAX at all… just submit like a
normal form which has a redirect_to in the controller?
