Ajax, jQuery

[Ralph Shnelvar]

I am not sure where I should post this since this seems to be an
"interdisciplinary" problem

I am having trouble communicating between my javascript and my Rails
app.

Here's the snipped of code from my controller
- - -
def poll
p params
puts "Got here:"
# debugger
@some_object = 12345
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render :layout => false, :json => @some_object }
end
end
- - -

I see
- - -
{"comment"=>"ch", "_method"=>"PUT", "action"=>"poll",
"controller"=>"reviews", "_"=>"1275680223825"}
Got here:
- - -
in the Webrick console log

Here's the relevant javascript:
- - - -
pollWithAjax = function() {
$.ajax(
{
// Define AJAX properties.
type: "GET",
url: "/poll",
dataType: "script",
data: { _method: 'PUT', "comment": 'ch' },
timeout: (10 * 1000),
beforeSend: function(xhr) {xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept",
"application/json")},

// Define the succss method.
success: function(){
alert('pollWithAjax Success')
},

// Define the error method.
error: function( objAJAXRequest, strError, errorThrown ){
alert("pollWithAjax Error! Type: " + strError);
}
}
);
};
- - - -

The "error:" function returns with the value of strError being "error".

This is what FireBug says my headers look like
- - -

When I click on the response tab in Firebug, I see nothing.

Am I setting up the headers incorrectly?

Now that you've shown us your code, please explain how the actual
behavior of your app differs from what you want it to do.
Best,

I would like a success return and the data returned.

The return is now taking the error return.
