Sorry for the slow reply. I have been at SxSW Interactive for the last 5 days. This code is copied from my app, it will need some editing for your app. Ajax.request() is in the Prototype Javascript library, it makes a request to the server. The first parameter is the URL to call, the rest is copied from the code generated by link_to_remote. evalScripts:true indicates Javascript is expected in the reply and should be evaluated, method:'get' indicates to make a HTTP GET request instead of the default POST. The action on the server calls the model(s) to update the database. HTH, Jeffrey -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
