Turbo Frame on post submit not updating with _top

[jonsgreen]

I am not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior but I have found that if I submit a form with data-turbo-frame="_top" that the page does not seem to update while if I set it to a target with an id then it will update the matching frame.

It could easily be that I am doing something incorrect but I thought I would first ask whether this is an expected limitation with form submits.

Thank you for opening this issue.

I've opened #1038. I did my best to faithfully reproduce the behavior you're describing here.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to reproduce it. Submitting <form> elements with [data-turbo-frame="_top"] from inside and outside <turbo-frame> elements appeared to behave as expected.

I'd really appreciate feedback on #1038, particularly the structural changes to the form.html fixture. Do they recreate HTML similar to yours?

i know this is long been closed, but i stumbled into the same situation, i could track this down to following:

• having a rails controller for Comment
• after POST to create a Comment, redirect to another resource e.g. comment.commentable

this works (but without the desired outcome):

format.html { redirect_to comment, notice: 'Comment have been successfully created.' }

this does not work:

format.html { redirect_to comment.commentable, notice: 'Comment have been successfully created.' }
