Form_tag with remote=>true Error during failsafe response:

Rails
1

I am trying to find out why form_tag with remote => true is not
sending an ajax response and only sending HTML. I have started a basic
Rails App with two pages and am following the Railscast 205 UJS
example. Every time I include:-
<%= form_tag homepages_path, :method => ‘get’, remote => true do %>
I get from the server(WEBrick):- (Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3)
A 500 Internal server error
Rendered homepages/index.html.erb within layouts/application (34.6ms)
Completed in 52ms
Error during failsafe response: incompatible encoding regexp match
(UTF-8 regexp with ASCII-8BIT string)
Plus lots more cleaner calls.
In my complicated application the above form_tag sends the search in
UTF-8
Anyone has any ideas what is happening and how to solve the problem.
As far as I know everything in the application is setup for UTF-8
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes you make a fool of yourself as this time.
Dumb and dumber I forgot the “:” from in front of the remote =>
Which gave the error.
Hope this helps someone in future.

This error was obtained because I left off the “:” off the remote=>true.
I
think, BUt after fixing that and getting the search working with html I
am now
still getting this error and I believe it has something to do with the
returned
values being in javascript.
