There is an issue with the latest release of Rails and AjaxScaffold. Well actually the problem is in a conflict between Prototype and Rico Corner, if you find that all the AJAX stops working – lots of spinning indicators and not much else you have three choices, wait a little and we will likely release an update, or if you are impatient / desperate for a fix you can use the following patch for prototype or you can remove the Rico Corner include……
Patch Prototype
Simply open prototype.js and around line 915 replace this:
for (var name in headers) this.transport.setRequestHeader(name, headers[name]);
with this:
for( var name in headers ) {
if( typeof( headers[name] ) != 'function' ) {
this.transport.setRequestHeader(name,headers[name]);
}
}
and all should be well again.
Remove Rico
Open up the ajax_scaffold_plugin.rb file in vendor/plugins/ajaxscaffoldp (or wherever it was installed) and at the bottom remove the ‘rico_corner’ include from this method:
def ajax_scaffold_includes
js = javascript_include_tag(:defaults, 'rico_corner', 'ajax_scaffold', 'dhtml_history')
css = stylesheet_link_tag('ajax_scaffold')
js + "\n" + css
end
You should also remove the call to Rico.corner in table.rhtml, now all should function again just without rounded corners…..

I’ve had this problem with Rails 1.2_rcX for some time. I always reverted back to Prototype 1.5_rc1 which didn’t seem to have these issues.
Of course, these solutions are far more easier to apply.
Hi Ariejan, there is now a release that fixes all this for you: 3.2.3. Cheers
Scott.
I’m still having this problem after trying these fixes? What should I do next?
btw, I’m using the following versions:
Rails 1.2.1
Prototype 1.5.0
Ajax Scaffold 3.2.4
I tried using Prototype 1.5.0_rc0, didn’t work…
Scott, I recently switched over to Rails 1.2.2 and migrated from the generator to the plugin. What is strange is that I now cannot see any of the nice decorations and the all forms look like the plain standard scaffold. Any pointers?
@Navin, sounds like the css isn’t being included have you add the ajax_scaffold_includes call to your layout?
hi Scott,
I am using ajax Scaffold 3.2.4, and Rails 1.2.2 , Protoype 1.5.0.
I tried to change prototype code and remove rico (code above), but
Create, Edit, Sort, Delete … buttons still don’t work.
Can you tell me if you have any others solutions ?
Thanks
Toch
With Firebug, I got :
POST http://127.0.0.1:3002/salaries/new?sort_direction=asc&scaffold_id=salarie&page=1 (216ms)
Error in Protoype.Js Line 866
this.transport.send(body);
Any ideas ?
Hi Toch,
3.2.4 should just work with 1.2.2, ,it includes a better fix than those shown above.
Cheers
Scott
Thanks for your answer,
I have already tried without changing code, but Edit and New buttons still don’t work.
In development.log, I got :
DEPRECATION WARNING: @flash is deprecated! Call flash.[] instead of @flash.[]. Args: [:error] See http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation for details. (called from _run_rhtml_47app47views47ajax_scaffold47_messages46rhtml at script/../config/../app/views/ajax_scaffold/_messages.rhtml:2)

I got those problems with AjaxScaffold when I upgraded Rails 1.1.6 to 1.2.2

I created a new project, and now AjaxScaffold 3.2.4 works with Rails 1.2.2 .
When you update a project developed in 1.1.6 to 1.2.2 , you get some bugs (dunno why) with AjaxScaffold ).

Hi Toch, did you remember to update your javascripts after updating rails: rake rails:update:javascripts? I guess from the errors you saw you didn’t. Glad you got it working anyway.
Cheers
Scott
Hello Scott !
Indeed, I didn’t update may javascripts after updating rails. I didn’t know <<rake rails:update:javascripts>> command.
Thanks for information.
