@Personal Trainer:

If you’re using it in the controller, I would say Yes. But for very simple stuff, that’s maybe not an issue.

I tend to put all the RJS code in a View template (e.g. “action.js.rjs”) that gets rendered by the Controller.

Does using RJS in the controller break the principles behind MVC?

I think you have some error in typing :D, so I rewrite it:
link_to_remote “Check address”,
:url => {
:controller => ‘locations’,
:action => ‘check_address’,
:address => @location.address
},
:with => “‘address=’+encodeURIComponent($F(’spot_address’))”,
:method => :get

Cheer.

This was incredibly helpful, thank you for the insight and thank you for taking the time to publish this. I will suggest that you make one change to your example.

Change:

$F(’spot_address’)

To:

encodeURIComponent($F(’spot_address’))

If spot_address has any “funny” characters in it, it will break parsing. I had a different application where ampersands might be in the edit control, and it barfed out until I encoded them.

Thank You!!
