Rails form_for :remote=>true is not calling js method

Question

I have no idea why this is not working, I\'m learning rails and I\'m following a book it says to do it like this:

    <%= form_for([@article,@article.comm         


        

Answer 1

Check the controller: does it have a respond_to block?

If you generated your app with rails generate scaffold, it will have something like

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.xml  { .... }
    end

If it does have it, just take the whole block out, from respond_to to end; or alternatively replace the whole block with the single line

    respond_to :html, :js

or alternatively edit the block by adding the extra line shown here

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html
      format.js
      format.xml  { .... }
    end

Either should work in your case.
