jQuery Forum

HI,
Currently I am using Rails and JQuery combined with Minus_r (a plugin by
Dann Web).
But rails requires that you send the correct accept header to make
respond_to work. So you need to adjust your ajax method (inside of
jquery) with a few lines extra:
// Set Accept header based on dataType
if ( s.dataType == 'script' || s.dataType == 'json' )
xml.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text/javascript, text/html,
application/xml, text/xml, */*");
if ( s.dataType == 'xml' )
xml.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, text/html,
text/javascript */*");
and when you are using one of the methods or plugins that allow you to
set dataType just specify 'script' and rails wil respond_to :js(thus
making RJS work with minus_r).
You will need minus_r as rails default way of handling .rjs is to
evaluate it as ruby and not ERB.
Greets,
Abdul

I hate to say this again, but I'm working on a major Rails/jQuery project that's shipping this week. When that's done, I'm going to extract out the goodies from the project and make it jQuery on Rails. I know it's been a while, but this project has taken precedence over my jQuery work for a month or so. Hopefully I will have time for jQuery stuff starting next week.

Thanks Abdul for the information. I was thinking of using the Minus_r
plugin. Good to have some tips to start with!
Yehuda, what about jQuery on Rails?

Let me know. I strongly believe in extraction over abstraction. If you have any specific questions as you start to use Rails, let me know.

Yehuda, didn't meant to put additional pressure onto you :-) good luck!
We will start to create a few goodies as we need them in the meantime...
