I googled a lot and was unable to find my mistake. As I just started with JS this might be an easy one. Using: Rails 4
I have a modal with a form that I would like to do stuff after successfully (or not) doing the ajax call. For now just closing the modal.
modal (this works actually works, so I can edit stuff):
.modal.fade{ id: attribute.id, role: 'dialog', tabindex:'-1' }
.modal-dialog{ role: 'document'}
.modal-content
.modal-header
%button{ type: 'button', class: 'close', 'data-dismiss' => "modal" }
%span ×
%h4.modal-title= attribute.name
= form_for attribute, remote: true, html: { class: 'form-inline', id: 'edit_form' } do |f|
.modal-body
.form-group
= f.label :name, 'Name', class: 'form-label', style: 'width: 150px'
= f.text_field :name, class: 'form-control', style: 'width:200px;margin-right: 35px'
.modal-footer
%button{ type: "button", class: "btn btn-default pull-left", 'data-dismiss' => "modal" }
Close
= f.submit 'Create', class: 'btn btn-primary pull-right'
my JS file (dont laugh):
$(document).ready( function($) {
console.log('ready'); # this I *can* see in the console
$('#edit_form').bind("ajax:success", function() {
console.log('great success') # this I *can't* see in the console.
});
});
controller (additional fun fact: The modal is triggered in a view for a different controller, not the one of the modal that I am actually trying to change):
respond_to do |format|
format.js {}
end
So in the end I would like to catch the "error" and "success" callbacks and do sth with it (this I am trying to figure out myself first). What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks a lot for your help - it is really appreciated!
