without downloading, and it puts the authenticity_token in the url.
This
all the button is:
<% form_remote_tag :url => { :action => 'download'} do %>
<%= submit_tag "Download" %>
<% end %>
Basically, it's just not working at all, and I would appreciate any
sort
of help with the issue. Thanks in advance.
Downloading a file is a "full page refresh" (although the page won't
actually refresh). You shouldn't use an AJAX function (whether that's
a link or a form) to send a file to the client. Just serve it up with
the right content type as a normal request and you'll be fine.
