</div>

so I tried that and now I get an RJS error in a popup window it states

[object error]

Here’s what I changed and tried…I created a new partial called  
\_new\_name that is as follows:

- **\<%= new.name %\>** \<%= link\_to "delete", { :controller =\> 'meal\_names', :action =\> 'destroy', :id =\> new.id}, :confirm =\> "are you sure you want to delete #{new.name}?" %\>

and I changed my controller code to

page.insert\_html :bottom, :partial =\> ‘new\_name’, :locals =\> { :new =\>  
@name}

what am i missing here?

</div>

Try telling it _where_ to insert the html

page.insert\_html :bottom, ‘meal\_names’, :partial =\> ‘new\_name’, :locals  
=\> { :new =\> @name}

Not sure what that error message is all about.

That did the trick! I guess that would make sense, telling it where to  
stick the update and all. Cool beans. Thanks again for taking the time  
out and setting my head straight, I think i had just been looking at it  
too long.
