Rails3, JQuery and RJS (UJS)

Question

I am trying to get ajax callbacks working on a href using remote. I have the rails.js and JQuery1.6 installed.

Here is the attempt to catch the callback:

$('#choo').bind('ajax:success', function(){
    alert("Success!");

});

Here is my div and AJAX link

<%= link_to "Choose", {:action => "choose", :id => 538}, :remote => true, :id => "choo" %>

When I click the link the ajax fires hits the server and returns the response but the callback is not working...

I have followed everything in this guide but with little by the way of success. In other words "!ajax:success" :-).

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

EDIT++++++++++++++++++++==

I updated to 3.1 and it worked.

Cheers,

s

Did you try binding to the ajax:beforeSend? Not sure how Rails' UJS works, so less sure if ajaxStart would work the same way as with raw jQuery. — Dave Newton

Try to "live"

$('#choo').live('ajax:success', function(){
  alert("Success!");
});

or this:

$('a[data-remote],input[data-remote]').live('ajax:success', function() {
  alert('success');
});

I've tried both of these but let me try them again and I'll get back to you.

Nope, neither of these work, which makes me thing there may be some thing wrong with rails.js....
