Hai,

```
I am totally new to Ajax. I am trying to use ajax in my project. Its

```

working fine, I am getting problem while session time expires. If  
session expires means i am redirecting to login page.Onclick i am  
calling on ajax function. It will goto controller and it will check the  
session if session expires then it has to goto login page.

```
 On ajax call i am updating the div. If session expires means its

```

calling the login page, but it updating that div.

Regards  
Selvaraj

Your “session\_expired” filter should check if this is an xhr request, if  
yes a redirection is needed you’ll have to send back javascript  
redirection snippet:

return unless session expired?  
flash[:notice] = “Your session expired”  
if request.xhr?  
render :update do |page|  
page.redirect\_to login\_path  
end  
else  
redirect\_to login\_path  
end  
false

best,
