That’s true. You don’t need additional livequery plugin with jQuery 1.3.

I think jQUery 1.3 provides the same functionality as livequery in the new live event binding, found here http://docs.jquery.com/Events/live

I’m not too familiar with the details of livequery. Is there any reason to continue using it over live?

@mick I don’t see a reason, I believe all the code you can copy-paste from this post. Sorry.

I just wanted to chime in and thank you for this post and for introducing me to Taconite. I am using it on a Rails project now and it has been working out really well (alongside respond_to and *.xml.builder XML Rails views to generate the Taconite code).

There are so many different methods and tools for implementing AJAX on a site it can be a bit bewildering for the AJAX newbie. Nice to see you not only gave us a suggested approach, but a bunch of helpful sample code as well for ajax form and link submission.

I’ve subscribed to your feed. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this post. Jeez. Browser incompatibility H*ll.

I’d suggest that for the before_filter in ApplicationController you use:

  def correct_safari_and_ie_accept_headers
    ajax_request_types = ['text/javascript', 'application/json', 'text/xml']
    request.accepts.sort!{ |x, y| ajax_request_types.include?(y.to_s) ? 1 : -1 } if request.xhr?
  end

This sorts the three most commonly used formats to the top of the accepts list, not just xml.
