Hello everyone!
Currently I'm developping an application with RoR and jQuery. Is the
first time I try to use this wonderful library so I'm still a little
naive ^_^
Right now I'm having a problem that I have no idea how to solve.
Documentation, google, etc have been useless for me in this point
(probably because I'm not searching the right terms)
So I'm creating an invitation system: simply, a form where you put an
email address and when you hit submit it makes an ajax call. The
server should answer with some data such 'how many invitations the
user have left', possible errors and (if in development enviroment)
the url for the invitation (debuggin purposes), everything coded in
json.
The problem is that sometimes when sending an invitation firefox pops
me up with a download dialog suggesting to save an "application/json"
file with all the data that the server processed. My jQuery script
should be taking care of handling it and it is not.
I have told Rails to render the answer in json format:
render :json => message.to_json
message is a hash with a format similar to {:error => "There was an
error, sorry", :invitations_left => current_user.invitations_left}
And I have also specified jQuery the type expected in the return of
the call:
function inviteFormXSubmit() {
$.post('/invitations/create',
{recipient_email: $("#recipient_email").val()},
createInvitationCallback,
"json");
}
So here is my problem. Any comment will be welcomed since I have no
idea how to face this problem.
Thx alot everybody.
Alex
