Render Link_to_remote via ajax in rails

Question

I am working in rails 2. I want to make an link_to_remote object and render it on html page. I want to send date via ajax. I am trying this.

render :text => "<font color='"+ color +"'>" +params[:ajax_status] + "</font>" + <%= link_to_remote '| Undo',
              :update => 'status_'" +params[:ajax_status]+ ",:url => {:controller => 'requests', :action => 'action_on_punching_request', :id => "+ params[:id] +" :ajax_status => 'Undo'} %>

But unable to proceed. It shows on webpage

Accepted<%= link_to_remote '| Undo', :update => 'status_'Accepted,:url => {:controller => 'requests', :action => 'action_on_punching_request', :id => 20 :ajax_status => 'Undo'} %>

PLease help me out.

i think u r concatinating the link code to a string and hence its getting displayed on view. — Prasad Surase, Oct 10 '12 at 05:24

Check out the API documentation for [link_to_remote](http://apidock.com/rails/ActionView/Helpers/PrototypeHelper/link_to_remote). — icantbecool, Oct 10 '12 at 05:39

You don't need the <%= %> tags, in this case - they're for erb.

Try just:

render :text => "#{ content_tag :font, params[:ajax_status], :color => color }#{  link_to_remote '| Undo', :update => "status_#{ params[:ajax_status] }", :url => {:controller => 'requests', :action => 'action_on_punching_request', :id => params[:id], :ajax_status => 'Undo'}  }"

Also, this is stating to get a little too view-y for a controller... You might consider moving this in a view file (js.rjs, or something). – Brad Werth Oct 10 '12 at 05:48
Yup, i included js file to excute this task. – Bilal Ahmed Oct 12 '12 at 07:20
