Not sure if it was intentional or not, but the “magic” div needs its  
id in quotes (same with your other post so I’m guessing that this is  
accurate).

Also, Redbox inserts a div into your page and copies the results of  
rendering the named action (remote\_redbox) into that div. As such,  
you do not need the :update parameter. An example of my use:

\<%= link\_to\_remote\_redbox  
h(activity.name), :url=\>edit\_activity\_path(activity), :method=\>:get -  
%\>

The :method=\>:get was necessary because I’m using RESTful controllers.
