Rails: Make (link_to "example", "#", Remote: True) Bypass (respond_to ... Format.js)

<%= link_to 'Description', '#', remote: true, id: 'desc-link' %>

Solution 1:

The first link does not need remote: true. Setting that causes jquery_ujs to try to submit the link automatically via ajax when you click it. Removing remote: true should prevent the toggle link from triggering the objects action.

Separately, your click handler should either return false or call e.preventDefault() to prevent the browser from trying to follow the link (basically you're telling the browser "ignore this click, I handled it"):

$(document).on"ready page:load", ->
  $("section.object").on"click", "#desc-link", (e) ->
    $("#object-desc").fadeToggle()
    e.preventDefault() // <-- prevents following the link
