Wasting time in Rails
August 19, 2008 – 2:04 pmI just spent about 20 minutes trying to use the form_remote_for tag with the :update attribute. No big deal, right? The following occurred:
- Upon running, the entire page rendered the partial, not just the designated div.
- request.xhr? always returned false in the controller.
What was the problem? Oh, I forgot to include the :defaults Javascripts in my layout. Doy.
And now I wasted 5 more minutes writing about it. Don’t let this happen to you!
