Hey,

I have:

render :update do |page|  
page.alert(‘none’)  
end

The problem is that if this was in the method “balloon” and controller  
“create”, then it take me to a blank page with “alert(“none”);”

It doesnt render in the window that it was called in.

This happens with other commands as well such as call and replace\_html.

Any ideas?
