This is what I see in the developer log

Why is the _product_variant_parameter partials getting rendered 4
times ?
My controller code is as follows. For simplicity sake, I have replaced
the original business logic with a hardcoded hash. The behavior is the
same.
[code=]def display_variant_parameters
Parameters:
{“authenticity_token”=>“9c0dc9b28f19a5b746cfa17e6450d61eacdca816”,
“product”=>{“product_category_id”=>“6”},
“action”=>“display_variant_parameters”, “controller”=>“products”}
logger.info params[:product][:product_category_id]
@variants_params_hash = {1 => “password0”,
“adi” => “password1”,
“aaron” => “password2” }
@variants_params_hash.merge({“sam1” => “password3”})
@variants_params_hash.merge!({“sam2” => “password3”})
render :partial => “product_variant_parameter”, :collection =>
@variants_params_hash
end[/code]
The same is invoked on change of the select box
[code=] <%=
@product_categories = ProductCategory.find(:all, :order =>
“title” )
f.collection_select(:product_category_id,
@product_categories, :id, :title , {:prompt => true},
{:onchange =>remote_function(:update =>
“product_variants_div”,
:url => { :action => :display_variant_parameters},
:with => ‘Form.Element.serialize(this)’)
} )
%>[/code]
The controller is not invoked multiple times. It is only the rendering
of the partials, as per the development log. This is just driving me
crazy for the last 3 days
