Hi,

I am making a call to remote\_function, which updates a variable that I  
need to use in my current view. Call is happening, but the variable is  
not getting updated?

PS: And to avoid missing template error , in my remote function I am  
doing this: render :nothing =\> true, :layout =\> false.

Please Suggest.  
Regards,  
Sandeep G

I used rjs to replace html of div that element i had to update. That  
worked.
