Link_to_remote

Rails
#1

view:

<%= link_to_remote “Remove”, :url => { :controller => “auth_user”,
:action => :remove_req }, :id => “post.requirement_id” %>

controller:

def remove_req
redirect_to :action => :index
end

When I click on the link, it doesn’t redirect. What’s the problem?

Thanks

An Ajax request cannot redirect the page… at least not this way. I
don’t think you want link_to_remote in this case. Try link_to. Note: you
want to be careful making links (HTTP GETs) do destructive things like
deleting data.

Great, thanks!

You probably want link_to not link_to_remote. link_to_remote does an
ajax call

link_to:

link_to_remote:

Hi
you can do like

def remove_req
render :update do |page|
page.redirect_to :action => :index
end
end
