Then, in my controller I have it either rendering nothing or a
partial. But it renders a blank page even though the partial is
embedded deep within divs of another partial. So whether I tell it to
render nothing, or just the deeply-buried partial, it takes me to a
blank page! (I think it is because it is actually a submit. I can

So you only want it to replace a partial on the page? If so, you
probably want button_to_remote…
