Hi Folks,

Sorry to ask more questions 🙂

So I gave a RJS a go, I have a simple countries ‘index’ which lists  
countries and with alink to ‘show’ which shows detail.

It works fine when you go to

/countries/AD in a browser

However the same request via Ajax and RJS (I am checking the http  
headers) which is a POST I get the error

ActionController::MethodNotAllowed (Only get, put, and delete requests  
are allowed.)

So what do I need to do to get my routing working with RJS?

Thanks Again!

Assuming you’re using link\_to\_remote, you can change the HTTP verb using  
the :method option. See the docs ([api.rubyonrails.org](http://api.rubyonrails.org)) for examples.
