I’m using form_remote_for() to do validation on a form’s data so that my rails app can show the user errors without reloading the page. I’m having troubles redirecting the page if there are no errors. Here is my code:

def create   # Validate the data   if error_count > 0     render :update do |page|       page.replace_html(div_id, error_text)     end   else     # Save the data     redirect_to(page_to_go_to)   end end

Everything in this method works fine except the redirect. The server claims it does a successful redirect and I believe it’s the AJAX call that’s being redirected. What I want to happen is have the page that contains the form to redirect. Is that possible?

  1. I thought about this some more and realized that I needed the page to redirect instead of the request I was handling. So I tried the following and it works great.

    def create   # Validate the data   if error_count > 0     render :update do |page|       page.replace_html(div_id, error_text)     end   else     # Save the data     render :update do |page|       page.redirect_to(page_to_go_to)     end   end end
