Hello:

I’m new to RoR and have run into an issue that I can’t find in any faq.  
I was following through a guidebook project implementing some ajax  
effects when I tested a link to edit a row and the application seemed to  
freeze (page didn’t load, though browser did not crash). The weird part  
is that without changing any code I could not no longer load the index  
page on my local server that I had accessed 30 seconds previously. I  
restarted my webserver (locomotive on osx) as well as mysql server, but  
I still couldn’t load [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/). I also tried a $ rake  
tmp:sessions:clear command. Any further ideas?

Thanks,

Peter
