This happens if I use rails 1.8.6. But everything is fine when I use rails 2.0.1. Can somebody help me please? I need to make this work under 1.8.6. Thanks!

Javascript gets caught in the cross browser issue. I see examples where Json can pull data back via cross-browser, but how do you pull page a link, that could POST data back to the server site if clicked? Are their any good examples of doing this?

So, before I add jsonifier. I get output with the 'attributes' tag. I add jsonifier and now I get an error that "object references iitself" from the same controller def that just worked. No other changes. All the controller does is: <code> @projects = Project.find(:all) render :text => @projects.to_json </code> I’m confused…. So, before I add jsonifier.
