Sorry for the long explanation but I’m having trouble integrating rjs  
into my  
form page. Here’s my page:

\<%= render :partial =\> 'list\_results', :collection =\> @posts %\>

\<%= link\_to\_remote('+', :url =\> {:action =\> 'new'}, :update =\> 'new\_post', :loading =\> visual\_effect(:slide\_down, "new\_post", :duration =\> 0.5)) %\>

This works fine and the form is rendered inside “new\_post” from the  
controller using render :partial =\> ‘edit\_new’, :layout =\> false

\_edit\_new is as follows:

\<%= form\_remote\_tag(:url =\> {:action =\> ‘create’, :id =\> @post}) %\>

subject:

\<%= text\_field(:post, :subject, :width =\> 60) %\>

message:

\<%= text\_area(:post, :content, :rows =\> 15, :cols =\> 60) %\>

\<%= submit\_tag('add now') %\>

\<%= end\_form\_tag %\>

Theoretically, create.rjs is used to render this, and indeed a  
logger.debug  
shows that to be true. Here’s create.rjs:

logger.debug ‘writing rjs’  
page.insert\_html :top, ‘post\_list’, :partial =\> ‘list\_results’, :locals  
=\> {  
:list\_results =\> @post }  
page.visual\_effect :highlight, ‘post\_list’

Nothing happens! Of course I know this is one of the tough parts about  
rjs,  
but is there anything obvious that I’m missing?

Thanks

You have to take the :update out of the link\_to\_remote.

It will work when that it gone.

It wasn’t the link\_to\_remote that was a problem. That’s straightforward  
AJAX.  
It’s the second one. However, I took your suggestion and changed the  
link\_to\_remote and created a new.rjs. It doesn’t work either. I’ve  
reduced  
this to a trivial case and that works; however, inside my real page it  
fails. Is there something that can disrupt rjs responses?

How would one know?

## Thanks

I have tried using the :locals parameter with a :partial call in RJS but  
I couldn’t get it to work.

You might try a test without the :locals call, see how that goes.
