Question

I am using jquery ajax call and in controller action i want to redirect some action but when

i use redirect_to “/some_action”. Then it did not redirect to my desired action please give

any useful suggestions.

<%= link_to "javascript:;" ,:onclick => "admin_fun"%>

my jquery ajax call is

function admin_fun() {
  if (confirm("Are you sure you want to add?")) {
    var container = $("#trunk_detail");

    $.ajax({
      url:'/accounting/add_rule',
      type:'get',
      dataType:'html',
      processData:false,
      success:function (data) {
        container.html(data);
      }
    });
  }
}

my controller code is

def add_rule
  # do somthing

  redirect_to "/accounting/index_report"   

  render :text => "ok"
end

This line will not give you the desired results because you can redirect or render multiple times.rather than you omit this line from controller

redirect_to “/accounting/index_report”

and in jquery ajax call on success response you can redirect to your desired action like

if (confirm(“Are you sure you want to add?”)) {

var container = $("#trunk_detail");

$.ajax({

    url:'/accounting/add_rule',

    type:'get',

    dataType:'html',

    processData:false,

    success:function (data) {

        container.html(data);

        window.location.replace("/accounting/index_report"); 

    }
});

}
}
