Hello all,

Using scaffolded code, I create a new rails object and, when  
successful, forward to show, at which point I display a notice with  
the flash indicating all is well. Now, I want that flash notice to  
fade away using rjs, however, I cannot achieve this. I am able render  
the rjs using ajax but not on a redirect or page reload?

Can anyone help out with this?

rjs is meant to be used for Ajax requests. If you want to do some  
fancy stuff with your flash notice, you’ll have to use something like  
Prototype to do it.

This (and other Ajaxy screencasts from Ryan B.) may be of help:
