I am reading Obie’s book (again) and I am confused about a line on  
page 450. This is the book that says “Covers Rails 2.0” in a yellow  
circle on the cover.

The erb code is:  
\<% remote\_form\_for :addition, @addition, :url =\> additions\_path  
:update =\> ‘result’ do |f|…

A snippet of the output of that erb is listed as:

\<form action= "/additions/non\_ajax\_create" method="post"...

The additions controller has only a new and create action.  
What is non\_ajax\_create ?

Am I missing something or is that a typo?

Thanks in advance

BTW, it is a great book.
