Nobody Listens Anyway

jQuery is the hot javascript library and it is small and it is cooler than Prototype, the default library that comes with Ruby on Rails. Ergo I plugged it in and pulled out everything else. The ajax calls are very simple and look like this:


$.post("function_name",{ key:value } ,function(data)
{
// do stuff with data
});


The problem is that you will start seeing 'ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken' and your ajax calls will fail.

Here is a very elegant solution.
