I'm a rails newbie and I cant seem to get jquery with ajax to work. I have installed the jquery-rails and done rails g jquery:install
. Then I did a sample test by calling an alert in the application.js file and it worked. Then I created a controller action 'index' and made a link to it on one of my other pages. I thought to get ajax to work with it, I would simply create a index.js.erb file. However I then got an error saying template missing, so in my controllers' index action, I put the following code:
respond_to do |format|
format.html
format.js
end
However, I am not getting anything displayed on my page. In my index.js.erb file I have a simple alert message to test out if its working, and I cannot get that to even come up. Any suggestions? I don't know if it matters but I am using rails 3.0.7. Thanks in advance
