I faced a problem about render. This is my view page:

 \<%= render :partial=\>'test1'%\>

In \_test1.html.erb:

```
<td><%=select_tag 'database_select',

```

options\_for\_select(@databases)%\>

 \<%=text\_field\_tag 'table', @table\_name,:size=\>30%\>

You can see that in the partial page, I use

 and element to  
make a new row in the current table. When rendering this page, the  
second row which id is ‘test2’ never update. How can I render the second  
row in this case?
