I use render :update in my action. For example, if I have a drop down of  
stuff and I want to add to a list when I select something from that drop  
down but at the say time remove from the drop down what I just selected  
I would say something like:

render :update do |x|  
page.replace\_html ‘stuff\_to\_select’, :partial =\> ‘partial\_1’  
page.replace\_html 'list\_of\_stuff, :partial =\> ‘partial\_2’  
page.replace\_html ‘message’, :inline =\> ‘Stuff updated’  
end

Assuming that you have the divs names correctly this would update two  
partials and display a message in another. I usually use these in  
conjunction with link\_to\_remote or remote\_form\_tag. If you are using  
these helpers, don’t include the :update option in your helper as you  
will get strange output displayed in your divs. Hope this helps,

Hi thanks for help but i am using form\_remote\_tag on my page and  
updating the div there . The code is  
\<%= form\_remote\_tag({:url=\>{:controller=\>‘image\_builders’,  
:action =\>‘image\_creation’}, :update =\>‘photo’,  
:html=\>{:onsubmit=\>‘UrlGeneration(this)’}})%\>

And I have to update the Div(sample1,sample2,sample4) here like photo i  
updating .  
Do you have any suggestion, if yes please let me know.

Thanks In Advance
