RJS partial rendering

Posted in Forums : Ask a Rails expert

Sachin Sagar Profile... 9 months ago Authority 0 Posting Rating 18 Sign in to rate this post	I’m having a problem with the RJS Partial rendering. Scenerio: Ajax link generator <%= link_to_remote "ProductSets", :url => "/categories/1/product_sets", :method => :get %> and the generated html/js is <a onclick="new Ajax.Request('/categories/1/product_sets', {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true, method:'get', parameters:'authenticity_token=' + encodeURIComponent('164e6c54bbb20a0b544e80ad8aa694bfa65cafeb')}); return false;" href="#">ProductSets</a> Since the request hits /categories/1/product_sets via method :get, the index action is invoked. The content of the index.js.rjs template is page.replace_html :contentTop, :partial => 'list_product_sets', :collection => @product_sets When I click the ProductSets link, the div with ID contentTop is replaced with the response from the server. But the response is all javascripts. try { Element.update("contentTop", "\u003Cdiv class=\"innerConte .. .... All the html contents of the partial _list_product_sets.html.erb is returned with encoded javascript codes. Can Anyone plz explaing me Whats wrong with the above code?? Thanks

Sjoerd Andringa Profile... 8 months ago Authority 50 Posting Rating 76 Sign in to rate this post	Are you sure you havent used the :update otion for link_to_remote ? The server response is okay, but what is done with it by the browser indicates that the JS returned by the server is used by Element.update instead of evaluated… Anyway, if you’ve chosen to go Alexey’s way then perhaps this would be even better: In your controller: `def index @product_sets = #... respond_to do \|format\| format.js { render :partial => 'list_product_sets', :collection => @product_sets } end end` Now you can get rid of the index.html.erb or index.rhtml file which only contained 1 line of code anyway…
