I''m a bit confused about how the Controller works for calls that
aren''t
intended to be remote (non-Ajax).
Specifically, if I don''t want to interact with a Model.
Does ":action => whatever" always result in a call to the server?
Or is
it handled like a javascript function (locally, on the client) in the
cases where no Model interaction is needed?
For example, what if I want to perform a simple operation on
user-inputted fields:
For example (from an example I have in a book):
<%= form_tag(:action => :calculate) %>
<%= text_field_tag(:arg1, @params[:arg1], :size => 3) %>
<%= select_tag(:operator,
options_for_select(%w{ + - * / }, @params[:operator])) %>
<%= text_field_tag(:arg2, @params[:arg2], :size => 3) %>
<%= end_form_tag %>
Is the "calculate" method handled on the client side or is this sent
to
the server?
If the latter, how would I change it to be handled locally? (Say, by
Javascript)
Thank you in advance!
