    copied!<p>I have to display checklist of things "to do" (in spanish).</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/XdlYz.png" alt="Checklist example"></p> <p>The idea is once the checkbox associated to an item is checked, the text of the label gets a line through (text-decoration:line-through) and an attribute (named: done) from the database gets updated.</p> <p>To do this I have the following:</p> <p>In my <strong>view</strong>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;% @user_account.activities.each do |act| %&gt; &lt;div class="checklist_check"&gt; &lt;%= check_box_tag 'activity_status', act.id, act.done, :class =&gt; 'activity_status' %&gt; &lt;%= act.name %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>In the <strong>javascript</strong>:</p> <pre><code>$(function(){ $(".activity_status").live("change", function(act_id) { $.ajax({ url: "/controller/done", beforeSend: function() { alert("Hi") }, data: "id="+act_id, success: function() { alert('Bye') } }); }); }); </code></pre> <p>In my <strong>controller</strong>:</p> <pre><code>def done @activity = Activity.find params[:id] if @activity.done @activity.update_attributes :done_by_date, false else @activity.update_attributes :done_by_date, true end end </code></pre> <p>Also I set up the route for this action: get "controller/done"</p> <p><strong>The problem:</strong></p> <p>Once I click on a checkbox the function gets called and the alert("hi") gets executed but the success function does not and the "done" attribute never gets updated in the database.</p> <p>Any ideas of what am I doing wrong? How would you do it? </p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
