The get method takes as its optional 2nd argument a map or string of data, ie in your case {query: $(this).val()} (since this is in that event handler, 'this' will be the text field. You also want to ask rails to render without a layout. You can either do this with render :layout => false or you can set the layout at the controller level Fred > > How code it right? > Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
