    <p>I have a page rendering a list of <code>Ideas</code>. Each item has a Claim button next to it. What <em>should</em> happen is that the user click the Claim button, <code>Idea#claim</code> controller action runs, and the Claim button goes dim. </p> <p>What <em>actually</em> happens is... nothing. Not even a Rails error page, which is why I'm stuck. Relevant snippets follow:</p> <p><strong>routes.rb</strong></p> <pre><code> resources :ideas do collection do post 'claim' end end </code></pre> <p><strong>ideas_controller#claim</strong></p> <pre><code> def claim @idea = Idea.find(params[:idea_id]) current_user.claim(@idea) respond_to do |format| format.js { render :nothing =&gt; true } end end </code></pre> <p><strong>_idea.html.erb partial</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;span class="idea-actions" id=&lt;%="idea"+idea.id.to_s%&gt;&gt; &lt;%= link_to "Claim", {method: "post", action: "claim", idea_id: idea.id}, {class: 'claim', remote: true} %&gt; &lt;/span&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>ideas.js.coffee</strong></p> <pre><code>$ -&gt; $('.claim').bind 'ajax:success', -&gt; alert 'Ajax success!' </code></pre> <p>This is absolutely my first time trying to do something like this, and my CoffeeScript/JS is virtually nonexistent. Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p><strong>Edit 1:</strong> Moved code from application.js to ideas.js.coffee, switched form using <code>button_to</code> to <code>link_to</code>. Changes shown in code above. Right now, when I click the link, absolutely nothing happens. Still no joy! :\</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
