jquery $.ajax not working in firefox against rails (406 response) (works in chrome & IE)
- by phil swenson
I have a rails backend and am testing the following jquery code against it:
var content = $("#notification_content").val();
var data = new Object();
data.content = content;
$.ajax({ url: "/notifications/detect_type.json", type:"POST", data: data, success: function(result ){updateTypeDropDown(result)}});
This code works fine in Chrome and IE. However in Firefox (using Firebug), I see this:
http://localhost:3000/notifications/detect_type.json 406 Not Acceptable
here is a chrome request in the log:
Processing
NotificationsController#detect_type

here is a firefox request in the log:

I'm stumped. Ideas?
