Link to remote + update

Rails
1

Hi,

i need to post a form using AJAX so that I can update and save my
object:

form:
<% form_for(@sample,:html => {:id => “analyses_list”}) do %>
Analyses:

    <%= render :partial => 'parameters/parameter_name', :collection => @parameters %>
<% end %>

if I am using link_to_function in order to post the form, everything
is alright except that it’s not an AJAX request, but at least the
action update is called:

link:
<%= link_to_function(“Remove an analysis from sample # #{@sample.id}”,
“if (confirm(‘Are you sure you want to remove those analyses?’)) $
(‘analyses_list’).submit();”) %>

I try using link to remote, but i have a problem with the url
parameter, i cant get the link to send the request to the update
action.

<%= link_to_remote “Remove analyses from sample” ,{:url => {:action =>
‘update’, :id =>@sample}}, {:confirmation => true,:submit =>
‘analyses_list’} %>

i also tried
{:url => sample_url(@sample), :method => :put}

i already try with

form:

<% remote_form_for(@sample,:html => {:id => “analyses_list”}) do %>
Analyses:

    <%= render :partial => 'parameters/parameter_name', :collection => @parameters %>
<% end %>

link:

<%= link_to_function(“Remove an analysis from sample #
#removed_email_address@domain.invalid}”,
“if (confirm(‘Are you sure you want to remove those analyses?’)) $
(‘analyses_list’).submit();”) %>

but if the update action is correctly done, my update.js.rjs is not
called and i get an error

Missing template samples/update.html.erb in view path F:/Programmation/
ROR/LIMS/app/views

which mean that update is dealing with an regular http request, not
AJAX one. As my link is not in the form itself i assume that is the
link that need to perform the AJAX request, not the form.

i finally mange to get it works it was quiet obvious in fact:
link:

<%= link_to_remote “Remove analyses from sample # #{@sample.id}” ,:url
=> {:action => ‘update’, :id=> @sample}, :confirmation => true,:submit
=> ‘analyses_list’ %>
