Ajax Scaffold on Rails 1.2.2

[chri...@gmail.com]

I'm experiencing the same problem as mentioned here:
http://blog.caronsoftware.com/articles/2007/01/22/ajaxscaffold-and-rails-1-2-1

The create, and edit won't work, the indicator just keeps spinning and
nothing happens.

I'm using the following versions:

Rails 1.2.2
Prototype 1.5.0
Ajax Scaffolding 3.2.4

I have also tried with Rails 1.2.1 + Prototype 1.5.0_rc0, and tried
applying the patched described in the blogpost above.

Anyone running AS successfully on Rails 1.2.1 with Prototype 1.5.0 ?
What version(combinations?) are you running?

Is there anything else than this version incompatibility that could
cause this problem?

Thanks

Check to make sure your rico_corner.js file has lines 487-502
commented out.

They were already commented out (I think since AS 3.2.4)

I found the problem, it was not script related... I had the following
in my Application Controller:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
before_filter :set_charset

def set_charset
@headers["Content-Type"] = "text/html; charset=utf-8"
end

end

But how do I fix the utf-8 encoding if not like this, and so it not
interfere with AS?

I have the same problem. I was chasing my tail for a while before I
found that this was the problem.

I don't understand what is going on with the Ajax Scaffold in this
regard. The problem seems to have been known since last June. Yet,
here it is April, 9 months later, and I am seeing this problem using
all of the latest bits - rails 1.2.3, ajaxscaffold plugin, the latest
everything. And this problem still exists? This is discouraging, I've
spent a few days trying to convert all of my heavily customized AS
generator based things to the AS plugin style just because I thought
the non-functional edit and create actions were related to my move to
rails 1.2.3 and such. Decided to bite the bullet and change to plugin,
even though I am not sure all of my customizations will now work.

But even after the big move, I find the problem persists and only
after further analysis do I find it is ALL related to a simple

@headers["foo"] = "text/html; charset=utf-8"

WTF? How is this incompatible with AS?

It won't just break AS, it'll break everything you try and return as
Javascript (in our case via RJS templates) since hardcoding it to
'text/html'

see this post:

But you probably want to use responds_to instead of xhr?
