Question

My setup: Rails 3.0.9, Ruby 1.9.2, jQuery 1.6.2

I’m making an AJAX call from jQuery to my Rails app to this controller

class ProjectsController

 def data
  @project = ....
   respond_to do |format|
   format.html
  end
 end
end

For the data action, I need to render a partial file in the views\projects\_property.html.erb. What’s the syntax for format.html? I tried a variety of ways but couldn’t find the right syntax.

Answer 1

For ajax:

def data
 @project = ....
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html
    format.js
  end
 end

And in data.js.erb

$("#your_id").html("<%= escape_javascript( render :partial => 'property' )%>");
