I am a newbie to Rails. Trying to make a small contact form app. I want to use AJAX to add new contact. I want a dialog to open when I click on ''New Contact'' button and then entering details over there. I did following steps: 1] added :remote => true to the new_contact_path line on index.html.erb. 2] Made a div with id="new_contact" as following <div id="new_contact" ></div> 3] Created new.js.erb with following code $("#new_contact").dialog({ autoOpen: true, height: 600, width: 600, modal: true, title: ''New Contact'', buttons: { "Create": function() { $("#new_contact").submit() }, }, open: function() { $("#new_contact").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(''form'')) %>") }, }); 4] Added format.js in the controller action "new". But when I click on "New contact" button, nothing happens. Instead of the jquery code I have mentioned above if I am using an alert, it is being displayed. Kindly help asap. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
