Question

In all other methods it works fine with format.html, but in this one with format.js it updates the view but the visible url remains the same

 respond_to do |format|
 format.html { redirect_to some_path }
 format.js { redirect_to(:action => :index, :format => :js, :date => day}
 end

if I change the date the view won’t refresh either:

 format.js { redirect_to(:action => :index, :format => :js, :date => params[:date])}

If i comment out format.html everything works the same way.

Do I need to update_attributes or somehow refresh the hidden_value?
Or add another redirect?
What could I be doing wrong?

Answer 1

format.js should return js code, so in this case, you will have to change to this

format.js { "window.location = 'your url';" }
