Rails - Aug 2006 - AJAX insanity: Is :update required in form_remote_tag?

All,

Is this a valid for_remote_tag statement?

<%= form_remote_tag( :url => { :action =>
''send_proof'' } ) %>

or do I have to have an :update parameter to provide a return target for 
the AJAX request?

Thanks,
Wes

Only if you are returning a chunk of HTML that you want to replace into
a target object.

If you''re returning RJS, then do don''t need the :update
(otherwise it
will insert the javascript into the target :)

Yup, it was inserting the Javascript into the target :).

I discovered that my issue was just the extreme finickiness of 
script.aculo.us.  For example, script.aculo.us doesn''t like it when you
ask to hide a DOM element that doesn''t exist on the page and the RJS 
template completely fails.

I''m not sure that I would say it was two hours well - spent, but I do 
know a couple more RJS methods than I did before and I expect RJS 
templates to break if I breathe on them wrong.  So my expectations are 
set better, now if I could just trade that in for more sleep.

Thanks for the reply.

Wes
