Body
There are a number of things which could cause this problem Considering you're a rails newbie (welcome!), I thought it best to outline the issues in an answer, rather than in the comments <hr> Routes.rb There's a function in the rails routes called <a href="http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#crud-verbs-and-actions" rel="nofollow"><code>resources</code></a> - this allows you to create a number of rails routes through a single function call - <code>resources :controller</code> You seem to be manually declaring your routes, which is generally considered bad practice for generic functions like <code>new</code> or <code>create</code> I'd advise you to first change your routes.rb file to this: <pre><code>#app/config/routes.rb resources :users </code></pre> This will give you a set of pre-generated routes, which will you keep your code efficient <hr> Users_Controller.rb <pre><code> #/app/controllers/users_controller.rb def create @user = User.new params[:user] @user.save render :json => @user end </code></pre> You have a big problem here You're using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29" rel="nofollow">AJAX</a> (which is Javascript), and are not handling the request properly. You really need to use <a href="http://apidock.com/rails/ActionController/MimeResponds/InstanceMethods/respond_to" rel="nofollow"><code>respond_to</code></a> to handle the header-type of the request, and to ensure you're able to engage with the app properly Try this: <pre><code> #/app/controllers/users_controller.rb def create @user = User.new params[:user] @user.save respond_to do |format| format.js format.json { render :json => @user } format.html end end </code></pre> Something you need to ensure is you know the differences between JSON & a standard "Javascript" call through Ajax. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON" rel="nofollow"><code>JSON</code></a> is basically a way to deal with small arrays (called JSON Objects), which can be passed through ajax; whilst a full javascript call has much more scope <hr> Create.js.erb <code>.js.erb</code> is basically the same as <code>.html.erb</code> In your <code>create.js.erb</code>, you rely on a json object to return your new user's ID. Although this might be considered O.K, I think you can make it more efficient by cutting out the json object completely In <code>create.js.erb</code>, you don't need any functions to fire things. It just works like an HTML View, and so you should just put the code in you want fired: <pre><code>#/app/views/users/create.js.erb alert(<%=j @user.id %>); </code></pre> Although the methodology here is correct, I don't know if it will output anything because we're not explicitly passing the <code>@user</code> variable

1. CONo problem buddy. I just noticed, though, that you will need to include [`strong_params`](http://edgeapi.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/StrongParameters.html) when you use the `create` functions. If you need help with this, I can edit my answer

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.
