Question about an AJAX link and the dev and prod enviroments

Question

Hi,

i have this line below that shows a link to go the next page of a list.

<a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater('lista_miembros',
'/frontend_dev.php/miembros/filtrar?page=2')">Next page</a>

The problem: as expected, it only works in the development enviroment of the frontend (frontend_dev.php).

My question: what should i to get it work on both enviroments (production and development)? Using if's and getting the environment being used is the only way, or is there any cooler way?

You should be using the url_for() function to generate your URL in your view. That way you don't need to worry about the environment, as the url string generated will handle all this for you, eg:

<a href="#" onclick="new Ajax.Updater('lista_miembros', '<?php echo url_for("@your_route"); ?>'>Next page</a>
