Hello I have this in a partial called \_publish\_status.rhtml

Published \<%= radio\_button('page', 'published',true, :onclick =\>remote\_function(:update =\> "@page.published", :url =\> { :action =\> :publish\_status, :id =\> 1 }) )%\>

then in my controller:

def publish\_status  
@page.published = params[:id]  
@page.save  
end

Everything works just like I want it to, but in my development log I  
see this:  
ActionController::MissingTemplate (Missing template C:/Documents and  
Settings/griggsk/user/ICA/config/…/app/views/creation/publish\_status.rhtml):

Should I worry about this? How do I fix it?

Thanks in advance -K

Well, if you don’t want to return any content/status to the browser  
indicating that it worked or not just add this to the end of your  
publish\_status() method:

render :nothing =\> true, :layout =\> false

That will stop the error from showing up…

Thanks works perfectly.
