How do I PUT data to Rails using JQuery

Question

I am trying to send a jquery ajax PUT request that looks like this:

$.ajax({
          type: \"PUT\",
          url: \'/admin/pages/1.json\',
          data:         


        

Answer 1

PUT and DELETE are not supported by all browsers, RubyOnRails supports passing an extra parameter with your data called _method which will indicate how RoR will treat the request.

$.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: '/admin/pages/1.json',
          data: { _method:'PUT', page : {...} },
          dataType: 'json',
          success: function(msg) {
            alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
          }
});
