Hello

I have a web site with a feature that works perfectly. And I  
Raised included within another site in a layer.  
I am changing link\_to by link\_to\_remote, but rhtml loading  
After a link\_to\_remote shows anything but what is inside a  
form\_tag.

We must put something on the forms to display with ajax?

I tried to change the form

From:  
\<% = form\_tag: action =\> ‘list’: method =\> “get”%\>

A:  
\<% = form\_remote\_tag (: update =\> “m\_content”  
: Url =\> (: action =\> “list”))%\>

But the same thing happens to me …

This is the call:  
\<% = Link\_to\_remote (image\_tag ( “next.gif”)  
: Update =\> “m\_content”  
: Url =\> (: action =\> ‘list’))%\>

Thank you

Did you include the javascript files?

\<%= javascript\_include\_tag(:all)%\>

There’s no camelcasing of symbol names in rails. Everything is lowercase  
and underscore separated, nor is there a space separating the colon and  
the symbol name. :update not : Update, :url not : Url.

Yes it has been a problem to copy and paste…

Now she is well and I still have the same problem ☹

From:  
\<% = form\_tag: action =\> ‘list’, :method =\> “get”%\>

A:  
\<% = form\_remote\_tag (:update =\> “m\_content”,  
:url =\> (:action =\> “list”))%\>

This is the call:  
\<% = Link\_to\_remote (image\_tag ( “next.gif”),  
:update =\> “m\_content”,  
:url =\> (:action =\> ‘list’))%\>

Thank you
