I am trying to make an ajax call to my controller

class PatientRecordController < ApplicationController

  def export

     ....

  end

end

In my javascript file i have

$(document).ready(function(){

    freezeTopRow($('#dataTable'));

    $(#export).click(function(){

        $.ajax({url: patient_record/export, type: POST});

    });

});

when i inspect element and debug and when i click the export tag on my page. i hit the function however it never gets to the controller

Also I have 2 controllers and 2 views. In my other controller and view I do the same thing and it works
