Why I need add “data: {type: ”script“}” on remote link with rails / ajax

Question

in one project of mine, the code:

  = link_to \"add\", new_me_category_path, class: \"btn btn-success\", remote: true

can load remote form

Answer 1

If you loading script correct template should have .ejs extension (or render raw script like this: render js: 'some code'). You must escape html using j in ejs template like this:

template.ejs

$('some selector').html('<%= j render('some template') %>');

Please give me also url. Correct one should end with .js.
