Hello guys
I have animals/index.html.erb
\<%= link\_to\_remote(‘List’,:update =\> ‘cont’, :url =\> {:action =\>
:list})%\>
page list
And animals/list.html.erb
\<%= render :partial =\> 'list'%\>
And animals/\_list.html.erb
\<% @animals.each do |animal| %\>
\<% end %\>
| Name | Desc |
| --- | --- |
| \<%=h animal.name %\> | \<%=h animal.desc %\> | \<%= link\_to 'Show', animal %\> | \<%= link\_to 'Edit', edit\_animal\_path(animal) %\> | \<%= link\_to 'Destroy', animal, :confirm =\> 'Are you sure?', :method =\> :delete %\> |
\<%= will\_paginate @animals %\>
and controller
def list
@animals = Animal.paginate(:page =\> params[:page], :per\_page =\> 3)
respond\_to do |format|
format.html
format.js {
render :update do |page|
page.replace\_html ‘cont’, :partial =\> ‘list’
end
}
end
end
then i got following o/p
try { Element.update(“cont”, "
\n \n Name\n Desc\n
\n\n\n \n dog\n dog\n Show\n Edit\n
\n \n Name\n Desc\n
\n\n\n \n dog\n dog\n Show\n Edit\n Destroy\n

You are two different ways to update your
1. specify :update in your link\_to\_remote (this just displays
whatever your action returns - use this when you don’t have javascript
you want to execute )
2. specify “cont” in you page.replace\_html
But you should not do both.
What you probably want is method 2, so you should eliminate
the :update=\>‘cont’ from your link\_to\_remote
and then you can get rid of list.html.erb (but not your partial in
\_list.html.erb, since your rjs template needs it )
