render partial on click

Question

I would like to call partials on some standard operations. I am using this method for calling the partial:

 %li= link_to \'Delete Event\', \'javascript:void(         


        

Answer 1

on the view do this:

link_to "Delete #{item}", '/model/confirm_deletion', :method => :delete, :remote => true #add the class and extra attributes if neeeded

on your controller

def confirm_deletion
end

and add a view to the confirm_deletion action in js

#RevealDelete.reveal-modal
  %a.close-reveal-modal ×
  %h3= "Delete #{item}"
  %p Are you sure you want to delete this?
  =link_to "Delete #{item}", resource, :method => :delete, :remote => :true, :confirm => resource, :class => 'button close-reveal-modal'
  %a.button.alert.close-reveal-modal Cancel

:javascript
  $(body).append($('#RevealDelete'));

that would make an ajax request to load that custom confirmation dialog, maybe you want to add some wrapper to insert the dialog instead of using body.append
