Template Missing Ajax Request Error - Rails 3.1

Question

I have a rails 3.1 application with Ruby 1.8.7. I try to create contacts through ajax, but keep getting the missing template error.

ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template contacts/create, application/create with {:handlers=>[:coffee, :builder, :erb], :locale=>[:en, :en], :formats=>[:html]}. Searched in: * "/Users/Me/Sites/t3/app/views" ): 

The form:

  <%= form_for @contact, :remote => true do |f| %> <%= f.hidden_field :customer_id, :value => @customer.id %> <table> <tr> <td class="pten"> <%= f.text_field :first_name, :style => "width:120px;", :class => "contact_input" %> </td> <td class="pten"> <%= f.text_field :last_name, :style => "width:120px;", :class => "contact_input" %> </td> <td class="pten"> <%= f.text_field :position, :style => "width:120px;", :class => "contact_input" %> </td> <td class="pten"> <%= f.text_field :phone, :style => "width:120px;", :class => "contact_input" %> </td> <td class="pten"> <%= f.text_field :ext, :style => "width:60px;", :class => "contact_input" %> </td> <td class="pten"> <%= f.text_field :email, :style => "width:200px;", :class => "contact_input" %> </td> <td class="pten"> <%= f.submit 'Create', :class => "submit" %> </td> </tr> </table> <% end %> 

Controller:

  def create @contact = Contact.new(params[:contact]) @customer = @contact.customer @contact.save respond_to do |format| format.js end end 

Create.js.erb:

 $(".contact_list").append("<%= escape_javascript(render @contact)%>"); $('.contact_input:input').val(''); 

Development.rb:

 Myapp::Application.configure do # Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb # In the development environment your application code is reloaded on # every request. This slows down response time but is perfect for development # since you don't have to restart the web server when you make code changes. config.cache_classes = false # Log error messages when you accidentally call methods on nil. config.whiny_nils = true # Show full error reports and disable caching config.consider_all_requests_local = true config.action_controller.perform_caching = false # Don't care if the mailer can't send config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = false # Print deprecation notices to the Rails logger config.active_support.deprecation = :log # Only use best-standards-support built into browsers config.action_dispatch.best_standards_support = :builtin # Do not compress assets config.assets.compress = false # Expands the lines which load the assets config.assets.debug = true end

I think you already called it Create.js.erb, not create.js.erb before.
