link_to :confirm displays popup twice

Question

This tag with rails 3

<%= link_to \'Destroy\', item, :method => :delete,:confirm=>\'Are you sure?\' %>

produces this html

Answer 1

Great answers here,

But if you did everything and still get those double popups, and if you are running in development mode, check if you have public/assets loaded with compiled assets.

Deleting public/assets/* solves the issue.

Answer 2

In my case (Rails 3.2.13), I had to delete rails.js to fix the same problem.

I did not explicitly reference rails.js, nor did changing config.assets.debug help.

Answer 3

just remove the turbolinks, that worked for me in rails4

Answer 4

So for me it was because i had defined data-remote instead of just remote.

IE

data: { remote: true, ... }

instead of

remote: true, data: { ... }

hope that helps.
