Hello,

I’m struggling my brain with this ajax issue …

Basically I have a form for creating records, and I want to submit it  
using Ajax.

On previous versions of RoR (2.0.2) it was working, but the same methods  
doesn’t work on 2.2.2, and I started to make changes and changes and  
read forums and the api, but no way …

\<% form\_remote\_for (:expedient, :url =\> {:action =\> ‘create\_ajax’},  
:update =\>‘div\_listd’) do |f| %\>

| Referencia | \<%= f.text\_field :reference %\> | \<%= submit\_tag "Añadir" %\> |

\<% end %\>

In the development.log I only see the token param:  
Parameters:  
{“authenticity\_token”=\>“c5fb066b9a3370e15f94154cc2140759d40f079c”}

the html source code is this:

| Referencia | | |

I see that the method is post, I think it should be ‘PUT’ to pass the  
variables in the params … or I’m wrong in this assumption ?

I tried to add the :method =\> :put but no way … sure I put it in the  
wrong place 🙂

thanks again!

r.

Random guesses: assuming that the page contains more than just this:

- are all dom ids unique
- have you got nested forms ?

Here is the .erb file:

\<% form\_remote\_for (:expedient, :method =\> :put, :url =\> {:action =\>  
‘create\_ajax’}, :update =\>‘div\_listd’) do |f| %\>  
\<%= f.error\_messages %\>

| Referencia | \<%= f.text\_field :reference %\> | \<%= submit\_tag "Añadir" %\> |

\<% end %\>

  

# Expedientes listos para ser enviados

 \<%= render :partial =\> "list" %\>

\<%= link\_to ‘General’, :action =\> ‘index’ %\> |  
\<%= link\_to ‘Back’, expedients\_path %\>
