Rails 3: Mobile MIME Type Causes 406 Error After Attempting to Download Content Using JavaScript

I am following Railscast # 199 to allow viewing of my web application in a mobile browser. It works fine, except when I try to access information in a tabbed interface using UJS in the mobile version. Clicking on the tabs works in the web application, but on the mobile side I get 406 error. (I tried this by installing User Agent as iPhone in Safari, and also tested on iOS Simulator and my iPhone. I didn’t download anything.)

Below is the code for one of the tabs. Can someone help me tweak what is going on? Here is my code.

Here's the profile_about action in profiles_controller.rb:

def profile_about
  @profile = Profile.find(params[:id])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.js { render :layout => nil }
  end
end

In mine profiles/show.mobile.erb(this is the same code as in profiles/show.html.erb):

<div id="tabs">
  <ul id="infoContainer">
    <li><%= link_to "Cred", profile_cred_profile_path, :class=> 'active', :remote => true %></li>
    <li><%= link_to "About", profile_about_profile_path, :class=> 'inactive', :remote => true %></li>
  </ul>
  <div id="tabs-1">
  <%= render :partial => 'profile_cred' %>
  </div>
</div><!-- end tabs -->

(NOTE: I have a file for profiles/_profile_about.html.erband profiles/_profile_about.mobile.erb.)

Here is mine profiles/profile_about.js.erb:

$("#tabs-1").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => 'profile_about'))%>");

My Heroku magazines show 406:

It turns out that this is due to the lack of verification for the xhr request in the method prepare_for_mobile. I found the answer in another question . So the method below prepare_for_mobileallows JS to work:

def prepare_for_mobile
  session[:mobile_param] = params[:mobile] if params[:mobile]
  request.format = :mobile if mobile_device? && !request.xhr?
end

There are several errors in the code, maybe it’s just a stackoverflow formatting, but the internal quotation marks should be “instead”, for example:

$("#tabs-1").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial => 'profile_about'))%>");

:

format.mobile.js {render :layout => nil}

, mime. "" "js", . "profile_about" javascript, js. "format.mobile" "profile_about.mobile".
