Hi all,

I think that this is a really simple problem, but it has been stumping  
me for about an hour now. I have this form\_remote\_tag which performs an  
action and then updates a div in my page. The method simply render text.  
However, instead of render text it displays the text in a new  
unformatted window. The addrress in the window is rathe rinteresting  
also. It is contains the name of the method from the action being taken  
by the form and it not a actual file anywwhere. I thought that since I  
was using a form\_remote\_tag and an update is should not be rendering a  
new page at all? Any suggestions? Thanks,

~S
