Hi Bogdan, I am using: request.xhr? It works for me for both IE 6 and Firefox 1.07.

Ok, I was able to reproduce that case when xhr? is not working in Firefox and Opera Assume this: def action1 # request.xhr? is true here redirect_to(:action=>''action2'') end def action2 #request.xhr? returns false for firefox and opera, but NOT for IE end Bogdan On 9/25/05, Tom Davies <atomgiant-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi Bogdan, > > I am using: request.xhr? > > It works for me for both IE 6 and Firefox 1.07. > > Tom > > On 9/24/05, Bogdan Ionescu <bogdan.ionescu-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > xhr? returns false if using Firefox or Opera, but at the same time it > > returns true if the same request was made using Internet Explorer > > Any ideas? > > > > Bogdan > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Rails mailing list > > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails > > > > > > >_______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
OK. That makes sense because the redirect is actually performing an
HTML redirect, which resends the headers and everything. Therefore,
the redirect is no longer an AJAX request, it is just an HTML
redirect. You should try to design your AJAX actions so a redirect is
not required.
In my case, I have the normal HTTP request cause a redirect and the
AJAX to just render nothing like this:
if !request.xhr?
redirect_to :action => :index
else
render :nothing
end
Good luck,
Tom

Without too much investigation, this sounds like a bug (or a diffrent approach?) in Firefox vs. IE on handling redirect in the XMLHttpRequest object, where Firefox doesn''t attach custom HTTP headers to the second call in XMLHttpRequest. A quick search on bugzilla.mozilla.org didn''t turn anything up on that. It''s probably safer not to rely on redirects in AJAX-called actions for the time being.
