Question

I have the following link_to delete url in my app

<%=link_to "Delete",blog_path(@blog.id), :method => :delete, :class => "delete", :confirm => "Are you sure ?"%>  

It does not seem to be working.When I click this url, it just takes me to the show path.Can someone please tell me how to fix this. Thanks.

Answer 1

Are you using jQuery? If so, I think the problem could be that you are using jQuery without the updated rails.js file.

Download rails.js here: https://github.com/rails/jquery-ujs/raw/master/src/rails.js Drop it in your javascripts directory, overwriting the rails.js that comes default with rails.

Add a javascript include line to include it.

  <%= javascript_include_tag "rails" %>

Put this after your Jquery include tag. You probably also want to disinclude the javascript defaults if you don't plan on using prototype.

I included jQuery UI in my application, I found that delete is now working as show, but after doing above Resolved Issue.
