Using link_to_remote inside of a controller

Question

Hello,

how can I use link_to_remote inside of a controller?

I have already included ActionView::Helpers::JavaScriptHelper, but still get the error:

undefined method `content_tag'

Thanks!

Answer 1

You'll need to discover all of the helpers that need to be included to make it work. For instance, content_tag is part of ActionView::Helpers::TagHelper.

It may be time to consider an alternative design.
