jQuery ajaxForm returning .json file
- by Lowgain
I've got a model creation form in rails which I also have returning JSON through ajax.
My code so far look like:
$('#new_stem').ajaxForm({ //#new_stem is my form
dataType: 'json',
success: formSuccess
});
function formSuccess(stemObj) {
//does stuff with stemObj
}
And I have a multipart form with a file uploader (but I'm not sure if that is relevant).
When I submit the form it works fine (my models are properly being created and renders as json), but instead of the json getting handled by the formSuccess function, it prompts a download for "stems.json" (the path to my stem creation action) in Firefox.
What would cause this to happen, and what could solve it? Not sure if this is part of the problem, but I don't have a submit button in my form, I have a link with a click handler that calls $('#new_stem).submit()
Thanks guys!
