Rails 3 / Ajax - Turning link_to into a Jquery link?

$(function() { $("#picture a"). Live("click", function(event) { event.preventDefault(); // prevent the click from linking anywhere $. Ajax({ url:'/my_ajax_file.

Erb', dataType:'html', data: $(this). Attr('id'), // send whatever here... type: 'post', success:function(data){ $('#picture'). Html(data); } }); }); }).

Try $("#picture"). Html(""); but if you use prototype and jquery change $ for jQuery.noConflict() $(function() { $("#picture a"). Live("click", function() { $.

GetScript(this. Href); return false; }); }).

Thanks for the help (everyone). Working with this, I seem to be having successful ajax links, as my pagination links are no longer changing the URL and are working. The external links though do nothing, any ideas?

Don't forget to have in your controller something like: respond_to do |format| format. Html do redirect_to #whatever you normally redirect to for html end format. Js do render :json => some_json_thing #this will get passed back as the data element in the ajax callback above end end.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
