Ajax call failing in rails when calling controller method

Question

I am working on a scenario where a <div> tag is refreshed using ajax whenever a user clicks on row of table. But due to some issue, it is always getting "alert(fail)" message. When i replace view file with just "HI" text, it works.. but when having below mentioned form, it shows fail alert. Please help.

.JS file

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.tab tr').click(function(){
        var val= $(this).attr('id');
        alert(val);
    $.ajax({
           url: "/users/profile/",
           type: "GET",
           data: {'id': val},
           success: function(response){
              $(".tab").html(response) 
            },
           error: function(response) {
                        alert('fail');
                      },
});

   });
    });

My controller method :

def profile 
@prof = User.where(:id => params[:id])

respond_to do |format|
format.html {}
end

Method's view:

<%= simple_form_for(@prof, :html => {:class => 'form-vertical'}) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_notification %>
<%= f.first_name %>
<%end%>

its still coming the same way ..i tried it by $(".tab").html(response) and in controller method .. respond_to do |format| format.html {} format.js{} end — userRandom

The where method in the following code returns an array:

@prof = User.where(:id => params[:id])

However in your view, you are referring to a single item:

<%= f.first_name %>

Replace the where method in the controller with find, which returns a single item:

@prof = User.find(params[:id])

I think your url should be as

url: "/users/profile"

not

url: "/users/profile/"
