Okay, let me explain my problem. I’ve got a form that looks like this:
- form_remote_for item, :url => list_item_path(item.list, item) do |f|
%p
= f.check_box :completed, :onclick => ‘this.form.onsubmit()’, :index
=> item.id
= f.text_field :content, :readonly => ‘readonly’, :index => item.id,
:onblur => ‘this.form.onsubmit()’
= link_to_remote “(edit)”, :url => edit_list_item_path(item.list,
item), :method => :get
It’s written in HAML. As you can see there are a couple of special
things about this form:
-
I’m using the :index option for the fields because there are multiple
Item forms on the same page. -
The ‘content’ text field is readonly, but when the user clicks the
“(edit)” link that attribute will be removed to enable the user to edit
the field. -
The form gets submitted when the user clicks the check box or presses
enter or sets the ‘content’ field out of focus.
The action that the form gets submitted to looks like this:
def update
@list = current_user.lists.find(params[:list_id])
@item = @list.items.find(params[:id])
@item.update_attributes(params[:item][@item.id])
end
And here is the log message:

As you can see the Item is not getting updated at all. But it renders
the update.rjs template anyway and rerenders all the _item partials
which contains the forms I just showed you.
Anyone who can see the problem. Please take a close look at the log
message like I did. It must have made me blind to stare at this. If you
need any further information, please just ask.
Thanks in advance,
