Rails spinoffs - Mar 2008 - How to make a ajax (xhr) redirect?

Hi all,

In my application, I want seamless degradability so I use request.xhr?
to check whether a request is an ajax call. However here and there, I
need to use redirect_to - in this case the request is not xhr anymore,
and the check doesn''t work as expected. Is there a way to make xhr-
like redirect (which allow to get to another controller+action)?

Thanks,
- Chuong

We use this, on a page with display preferences.  When a preference change
is going to change most of the page, it''s just easier to redisplay the
whole
thing.  Note that page.redirect_to(:back) doesn''t work.

render :update { |page| page.redirect_to(request.env["HTTP_REFERER"])
}

Regards, Lori
