###I'm trying to get Ajax working for my sign in forms, but I can't get it work. It literally does nothing! 

###Here's my controller

def create
 session[:user_id] = nil if session[:user_id] # Destroy any current sessions
 user = User.where(email: params[:email]).first
  respond_to do |format|
    if !params[:bot].blank?
      # If the bot hidden field has a value, assume it's a bot
      format.html do
        flash[:error] = "We don't like bots.."
        redirect_to root_path
      end
    elsif user && user.authenticate(params[:password])
      # 'authenticate' comes from the 'has_secure_password' method in the User model
      delete_signin_error # Delete the signin_error cookies on signin
      session[:user_id] = user.id # Set a session from the id
      Time.zone = user.time_zone # Set the users time zone on sign in
     format.html { redirect_to profile_path, notice: "You have been signed in as #{user}." }
    else
      signin_error # Add a signin_error cookies or increment the number by one
     format.html do
        flash[:error] = "There was an error, please check your email/password and try again."
        redirect_to root_path
      end
    end
    format.js
  end
end

###And here is my view partial with the remote form

<%= form_tag sessions_path, remote: true do %>
<table border="0">
    <tr>
        <td><%= text_field_tag :email, nil, placeholder: "Email" %></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td><%= password_field_tag :password, nil, placeholder: "Password" %></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <%= hidden_field_tag :bot, nil %>
            <%= submit_tag "Sign In" %>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
<% end %>

###So is there any particular reason why it isn't working? It should redirect, but it just sits there.
