making jquery-ujs work with delete

code

// index.html.erb page for users
<%= link_to 'Destroy', user, :confirm => 'Are you sure?', :method => :delete, :remote => true, 'data-type' => 'json' %>


//users_controller
  def destroy
    @user = User.find(params[:id])

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html { redirect_to(users_url) }
      format.js {
        render :json => {'name' => "#{@user.name} has been deleted"}
      }
    end
  end



//application.js
$('a[data-method="delete"]').live('ajax:success',
  function(e, data, textStatus, jqXHR){
    alert(data.name + ' has been deleted');
  }
);

Lines 12 and 22 seem to be doing the same thing (ie. they have 'has been deleted' in the return string).

Did you mean to have line 12 without 'has been deleted' in the return string?

Line 12: render :json => {'name' => "#{@user.name}"}

You are right. Line 22 should just say

alert(data.name);
