I’am trying to redirect the user to the login page if the user is not  
already logged in.

\<%= link\_to\_remote “Add To Favorites”, :update =\> “content-item-  
favorite-#{content\_item.id}”,  
:url =\> {:controller =\> :user, :action =\> :add\_favorite, :params  
=\> {:id =\> content\_item.id }}, 302 =\> ‘document.location =  
request.getResponseHeader(“location”); return false;’ %\>

This works in Firefox but in IE7 the login page gets embedded in the  
current page instead of getting redirected!

any thoughts?

Many Thanks  
Ramya

Hmmm… check out the HTML source that the code generates. Also, you  
missed the RoR forum by 1.
