If a redirect is returned from the rails' form_remote_tag or link_to_remote methods, a message is displayed saying something like "You are being redirected", where "redirected" is a link the user must click. The code snippet below will actually redirect the user to the proper location, without them having to click the link. Code works for both form_remote_tag or link_to_remote methods.

   1  
   2  <% link_to_remote "Foo",
   3                    :url => { :action => "foo" },
   4                    302 => "document.location = request.getResponseHeader('location')" %>
   5  

Or, an example from the Typo source:

   1  
   2  <%= form_remote_tag :url => {:action => "comment", :id => @article}, 
   3                      :update => {:success => 'commentList'},
   4                      :loading => "loading()", 
   5                      :complete => "complete(request)",
   6                      :failure => "failure(request)",
   7                      :html => {:id=>"commentform",:class=>"commentform"},
   8  	            302 => "document.location=request.getResponseHeader('location')"%>
