Rails - Jun 2010 - authenticity_token shows up in the url when page reloads

I''m pretty new to Ruby On Rails (and somewhat self-taught), so bear
with
me if I''m asking something stupid. So whenever I push my download
button
(which just uses send_file, if that''s any help) it reloads the page,
without downloading, and it puts the authenticity_token in the url. This
all the button is:
<% form_remote_tag :url => { :action => ''download''}
do %>
      <%= submit_tag "Download" %>
<% end %>

Basically, it''s just not working at all, and I would appreciate any
sort
of help with the issue. Thanks in advance.

Downloading a file is a "full page refresh" (although the page
won''t
actually refresh). You shouldn''t use an AJAX function (whether
that''s
a link or a form) to send a file to the client. Just serve it up with  
the right content type as a normal request and you''ll be fine.


Best regards

I get what you''re saying and I''ve tried a few different
methods. But
alas, I am a beginner and have not gotten anything to work. Would you 
maybe happen to have any specific ideas as to how I could remedy my 
solution. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks.
