I am trying to call an action within a javscript function using ajax, but I am having some problems. I need the ajax call to return a value and am thinking I can do this using onComplete and Ajax.Request but I am running into some problems. This is the code I am using for the Ajax.Request:
new Ajax.Request( '/users/username', { method: 'post', parameters: { username: $('new_user_username').value}, onComplete: parseResults() }); I have an action called username in my users controller in which I am taking the username params passed by the Ajax.Request and seeing if it exists in the database. I want to return true/false depending on if it exists or not. But I am having trouble even getting the Ajax.Request to work. This is some of the output from the console: Processing UsersController#username (for 192.168.1.105 at 2008-12-13 19:52:39) [POST] Session ID: BAh7BzoMY3NyZl9pZCIlYmNjM2YxODllZWIwMGM1NDkyMzQ0NjUyODMxODAz ZTUiCmZsYXNoSUM6J0FjdGlvbkNvbnRyb2xsZXI6OkZsYXNoOjpGbGFzaEhh c2h7AAY6CkB1c2VkewA=--d0d5fc597c61c2a295570ee9b118db7ba4285f3f Parameters: {"username"=>"d", "action"=>"username", "controller"=>"users"} ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken (ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken): Im not sure how to get around this InvalidAuthenticityToken, anyone have any idea whats going on here. Ive been struggling with this for a while and am somewhat new to ajax so I could use some help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
