I am trying to get rid of Prototype and use only jQuery... , made some progress but I am stuck now to what I use to do :
I sent an Ajax request ( read the doc.. ok; I got it) "$.ajax({ url: '#{url}', async: true, type: 'GET', dataType: 'script'});" I land correctly at the url (show action) def show @library = Library.find(params[:id]) respond_to do |format| format.html format.js { } format.xml { render :xml => @library } end end the request.xhr? => true I checked (debugger comand) that the format.js block is executed ... Ok but now I don't catch how to write the partial 'update'... I used to write the 'standard' render :update do |page| page.replace_html 'library_content', :partial => 'libraries/ content' page.show 'library_content' end what should I write with jQuery ? should I place the jQuery code in a show.js.erb file ?
