Although, the OP actually said "The termination of the controller I must write does nothing to the view (actually, I merely need to execute a little javascript, closing some divs, etc). " Which seems self-contradictory, if you take view as being what the end-user sees. If there are divs to be closed, or whatever, DOM changes need to be effected. So I think one or more callbacks (:success, :failure, :complete) are needed to close/hide those divs, and perhaps some rendered javascript from the request if what needs to be done depends on server state as a result of the request. -- Rick DeNatale Blog: http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/RickDeNatale WWR: http://www.workingwithrails.com/person/9021-rick-denatale LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickdenatale --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
