    <p>I'm using Rails with jQuery, and I'm working on a page for a simple site that prints each record to a table. The only editable field for each record is a checkbox. My goal is that every time a checkbox is changed, an ajax request updates that boolean attribute for the record (i.e., no submit button).</p> <p>My view code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;td&gt; &lt;% form_remote_tag :url =&gt; admin_update_path, :html =&gt; { :id =&gt; "form#{lead.id}" } do %&gt; &lt;%= hidden_field :lead, :id, :value =&gt; lead.id %&gt; &lt;%= check_box :lead, :contacted, :id =&gt; "checkbox"+lead.id.to_s, :checked =&gt; lead.contacted, :onchange =&gt; "$('#form#{lead.id}').submit();" %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;/td&gt; </code></pre> <p>In my routes.rb, admin_update_path is defined by</p> <pre><code> map.admin_update 'update', :controller =&gt; "admin", :action =&gt; "update", :method =&gt; :post </code></pre> <p>I also have an RJS template to render back an update. The contents of this file is currently just for testing (I just wanted to see if it worked, this will not be the ultimate functionality on a successful save)...</p> <pre><code>page &lt;&lt; "$('#checkbox#{@lead.id}').hide();" </code></pre> <p>When clicked, the ajax request is successfully sent, with the correct params, and the action on the controller can retrieve the record and update it just fine. <strong>The problem is that it doesn't send back the JS; it changes the page in the browser and renders the generated Javascript as plain text rather than executing it in-place.</strong> </p> <p>Rails does some behind-the-scenes stuff to figure out if the incoming request is an ajax call, and I can't figure out why it's interpreting the incoming request as a regular web request as opposed to an ajax request.</p> <p>I may be missing something extremely simple here, but I've kind-of burned myself out looking so I thought I'd ask for another pair of eyes. Thanks in advance for any info!</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.
