Hello

I am trying to upload a picture and refrecar layer with  
responds\_to\_parent. I have this form

## rhtml

\<% form\_for(photo, :url =\> {:action =\> “create”, :tID =\> params[:tID] },  
:html =\> { :multipart =\> true, :target =\> “uploadFrame”, :id =\>  
‘uploadPhotoForm’ }) do |f| -%\>

 ![]()

 \<%= image\_submit\_tag ("../images/ok.gif") %\> \<% end -%\>
## controller

def create  
@photo = Photo.new(params[:photo])  
if @photo.save  
responds\_to\_parent do  
render :update do |page|  
if @success  
page.form.reset ‘uploadPhotoForm’  
else  
page.alert “Photo upload didn’t work! Sorry!”  
end  
end  
end  
end  
end

## Error en log

NoMethodError (undefined method `responds\_to\_parent’ for  
#PhotosController:0x48b4454):

So are those plugins installed or not. That sentence doesn’t make any  
sense to me.

Hello Fred.

I copied plugins responds\_to\_parent and remote\_upload in vendor/plugins/  
because I am not allowed to install them. Already, the path does not  
exist.

Thank you

Now the same mistake that’s giving me firefox is:

window.parent.handleResponse is not a function  
evalScript()

When you run:  
responds\_to\_parent do  
render :update do |page|  
if @success  
page.form.reset ‘uploadPhotoForm’  
else  
page.alert “Photo upload didn’t work! Sorry!”  
end  
end  
end

Guess why?

Thank you
