Rails - Sep 2009 - RJS file not rendering

Hi there,
I''ve done this before many times. But for some reason, my controller
isn''t rendering my RJS file. Here''s the setup:

In the View:
- a call to remote_function:

[code]
<select name="state"
onchange="<%remote_function(:url=>{:action=>:cities})%>">
[/code]

In the Controller:
- get the data that I need:

[code]
def cities
  @cities = Store.find_by_sql("select DISTINCT city from stores where
state=''#{params[:state]}''")
end
[/code]

I have a file called cities.rjs. However, when I run it, I get the
following error:

[code]
ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template stores/cities.erb in view
path app/views:vendor/plugins/easy-fckeditor/app/views):
[/code]

I''ve tried creating a file called cities.erb, but that doesn''t
work
either. The path is correct: I have the /views/stores folder there and
the file is where it''s supposedly looking. I can''t fathom what
the issue
is here. Any help?

Thanks,
Aaron.

Pretty sure this will pick up the .rjs template.

HTH,

Try renaming cities.rjs to cities.js.rjs.  Rails is smart enough to know
that it''s getting a JS request, so there''s no need to tell
Rails to what
template to use as long as the controller method and view template follow
the standard naming convention.

Hi again,
Bah, turns out I had the right files in the wrong folder. I have an 
admin/stores folder and a plain old stores folder, and my partials and 
RJS were in the admin version Stupid!

Thanks,
Aaron.
