Question

I am working on a Rails project and try to use $.post to get some data from the server, but nothing happens. Does anyone see whats wrong?

HTML File

<a id="ta" role="button" class="btn">tzt</a>
<div id="ggg">Code goes here</div>

.js file

$ ->
$('#ta').click (e) ->
    e.preventDefault()
    $.post "/hype", (data)
    $("#ggg").html data

routes.rb

match '/hype',    to: 'items#xxx'

controller.rb

def xxx
@item = Item.last
return render :text => "New Text"
end

Answer 1

The .js file should be as such

$ ->
  $('#ta').click (e) ->
    e.preventDefault()
    $.post "/hype", (data) ->
      $("#ggg").html data

Need the function call after the post
