Rails - Nov 2010 - Jquery xhr works in firefox, not safari

Hi,

I have a button which sends an ajax request, see below:

<p><%= link_to "Save", {:controller =>
''budgets'', :action => ''validate'',
:id => @budget}, :class => "button post" %></p>

The jquery js is below, i basically attach the xhr request to any link
with a class of "post" which is above.  This all works fine in firefox
but not in safari or chrome.

/*
Post data via html
Use the class post in your link declaration
<%= link_to ''My link'', my_new_path(),:class =>
"post" %>
*/
jQuery.fn.postWithAjax = function() {
  this.unbind(''click'', false);
  this.click(function() {
    $.post($(this).attr("href"), $(this).serialize(), null,
"script");
    return false;
  })
  return this;
};


function ajaxLinks(){
    $(''a.post'').postWithAjax();
}

$(document).ready(function() {
// All non-GET requests will add the authenticity token
 $(document).ajaxSend(function(event, request, settings) {
       if (typeof(window.AUTH_TOKEN) == "undefined") return;
       // IE6 fix for http://dev.jquery.com/ticket/3155
       if (settings.type == ''GET'' || settings.type ==
''get'') return;

       settings.data = settings.data || "";
       settings.data += (settings.data ? "&" : "") +
"authenticity_token=" + encodeURIComponent(window.AUTH_TOKEN);
     });

  ajaxLinks();
});


I get the following error message in the logs when trying to click the
link in safari.

My own personal hunch from googling around is its something to do with
the authentiaction token but nothing i have tried has fixed this.

Has anyone got any idea what is wrong?

Hey, i had the same error and i used the same jquery script as you have.

The quick solution is change the post request to get. It are normal 
links anyway. Dont know why you need post for that.

function ajaxLinks(){
    $(''a.get'').getWithAjax();
}

<%= link_to "Save", {:controller => ''budgets'',
:action => ''validate'',
:id => @budget}, :class => "button get" %>

Good luck!
