Rails - Feb 2009 - how do you trigger an xml response for "respond_to do |format|'

Hi - how do you trigger an xml response for "respond_to do
|format|'' ?

Wondering why the following isn''t working for me (i.e. triggers HTML
response)

 ------------------view ----------------
<% *remote_form_for* :bi_allocation, @bi_allocation, :url => { :controller
=> "bi_allocation", *:action => "r_create"*} do |f|
%>
  <%= f.text_field :amount, :size => 10 %>
  <%= submit_tag ''Create'' %>
<% end %>

 ------------ controller ---------------------
  *def r_create*
    @bi_allocation = BiAllocation.new(params[:bi_allocation])
    respond_to do |format|
      if @bi_allocation.save
        format.html raise("*** *HITS THIS LINE* ***")
        format.xml  { render :xml => @bi_allocation, :status => :created,
:location => @bi_allocation}  *# Doesn''t hit this line*
      else
        format.html { render :action => "xxxx" }
        format.xml  { render :xml => @bi_allocation.errors }
      end
    end
  end

thanks

try calling it with :format => ''xml''

<%= link_to "link_name", :controller =>
''controller_name'', :action =>
''action_name'', :format => ''xml'' %>

tks - the remote_form_for method doesn''t mention a ":format"
parameter?
 actually the "link_to" method (which you used in your example) I see
doesn''t mention this either?  Just wondering how one would have found
out
about this being an option here?

Greg
