RJS not working

Rails
1

Hi,

I just can’t seem to get my RJS template to work.
I have this in my .rhtml file:
<%= link_to_remote( “1”, {:url => { :controller => “log”, :action =>
“rate”, :id => post.id, :rating => 1}}, :class => ‘one-star’, :name =>
‘Rate this post 1 star out of 3’) %>

My rate.rjs has this (for testing purposes):
page.alert(‘RJS works!’)

That doesn’t that a thing.
So I added this to my .rhtml file:
<%= link_to_remote( “3”, {:url => { :controller => “log”, :action =>
“rate”, :id => post.id, :rating => 3},
:complete=>‘alert(request.responseText)’}, :class => ‘three-stars’,
:name => ‘Rate this post 3 star out of 3’) %>

Now I get a popup saying:
alert(‘RJS Works!’) instead of actually doing the alert.

any ideas?

What does Firebug show for the request / response? Usually that will
clue you in on the problem.

Are you including a tag like this in your layout?

<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>

It says alert(“RJS works!”); in the response
But the alert doesn’t show up in the browser.

Rename it .rjs.

I don’t quite understand I have an idex.rhtml, with the link
to the rate controller via a link_to_remote and a rate.rjs file.
This is correct, no?

Yes. Try this in your controller instead, and let us know:

def rate
render :update do |page|
page.alert(“RJS WORKS”)
end
end

I tried it, but still no popup.

I prefer this style myself. RJS templates are more about logic and
functionality, so it makes sense to put them in the controller. The
one exception for me would be a template that I might use in several
different controllers.

Maybe an idea about my setup will help:
I am using Apache 2.2 and Mongrel and reverse_proxy_fix.

Would you email me the necessary files: controller, views, helpers.
I’ll take a look.
