thanks for reading this post. I\'ve been stuck on an issue with RoR for the past few days. I have a form under index.html.erb as:
A
Do you have 2 partials named '_list'? Maybe that's causing problems and you should just a little more specific:
$("#my_list").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => "list.html.erb"))%>");
I'm not sure if this helps, but are if you using in IE be aware that IE sends some headers that screw with how your controller responds. So you may be sending an Ajax request with IE, but your Rails app thinks its just a plain html request.
I've had to setup jQuery to first erase the current headers and then add just the javascript header:
$.ajaxSetup({
'beforeSend': function(xhr) {xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept",'');xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text/javascript")}
})
