Hi i installed the latest ajaxscaffolding gem and generated a scaffold.  
List works fine. Delete deletes, but the update doesn’t show and the  
busy  
icon spins indefinitely. Pressing new or edit also causes the busy icon  
to  
spin, but again the ui doesn’t update.

my development.log indicates the request was handled and (using firebug)  
I’m  
seeing this response:

new Insertion.Top(“message-tbody”, "\n\<tr  
id=“message-create-1146611248468-row” style=“display:none;”\>\n

I think this ok as well (but not entirely sure).  
There are no javascript errors reported in the javascript console or in  
firebug.

I pasted my ddl below, if that might help. I’m wondering if there’s  
something about the data that could be causing an issue.

I’m using Rails 1.1.2 withFirefox 1.5.0.2 on Windows.  
I tried IE 6 as well with the same result.

Any help would be much appreciated.

CREATE TABLE message  
(  
id serial NOT NULL,  
referenced\_object int8 NOT NULL,  
referenced\_object\_table char(20) NOT NULL,  
title varchar(255) NOT NULL,  
message\_text text,  
deleted bool NOT NULL DEFAULT false,  
updated timestamptz NOT NULL DEFAULT now(),  
updated\_by int8 NOT NULL,  
lock\_version int4 DEFAULT 0,  
CONSTRAINT message\_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)  
)

I had similar (but perhaps not the same) troubles on Windows boxes.  
The generated .rhtml files had invalid (unix-style, perhaps?) tabs at  
the beginning and sometimes at the end of the lines.

Converting the tabs to spaces (TextPad can do this automatically)  
solved the problems.

It might not be your problem, though, because I was able to see errors  
in my development log, but the symptoms were exactly the same.
