Question

I have a small form on the page that looks like

<div id="updater">
    <%= form_for current_user,:remote=>true do |f| %>
        please update your <%= f.label @field %>: 
        <%= f.text_field @field %>
        <%= f.submit %>
      <% end %>
 </div>

This triggers the Users#update which has respond_to format.js

update.js.erb is

$("#updater").bind("ajax:success", function(xhr, data, status) {
    $("#updater").remove();
});

so the form will disappear once the the field has been updated

I see that the JS is sent on the network tab on the chrome inspect thingy and the field does update in the DB. yet the #updater doesn’t disappear, not if I add alert("updater"); I don’t see the alert.

Am I not catching the ajax:success correctly?

Answer 1

I seem to have another js file that is working on #updater.. once I removed that it started working..
