Hi Chris,
You're not doing any hacks, you're doing what's expected to tell rails
that a route will accept various formats, you should take a look at
the routes guides to undertand how the respond_to method works.
Also, to get JQuery to behave correctly without the ".js" you'll need
to add this somewhere in your application.js:
$(document).ready(function () {
jQuery.ajaxSetup({
'beforeSend': function(xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", "text/javascript")
};
});
On the routes issue, as I said before, that's how it works. A route like:
map.schedule "schedule/:id", :controller => "main", :action => "schedule"
Will never call the respond_to with XML as a format unless the client
sends an "Accept: application/xml" as a header and I think you're not
doing this, so, the route with a explicit format is required, this is
no bug, that's exactly how it should behave. Also, avoid mapping URLs
directly as you're doing, these paths should be mapped using
resources.
