The website I am working ([http://xoth.media.mit.edu:8000/ica/view](http://xoth.media.mit.edu:8000/ica/view)) on  
uses a LiveTree add-on that should update a portion of the page to  
reflect the components of the tree when the appropriate textbox is used.  
For some reason, instead of simply updating a portion of the page, the  
site is opening a whole new page with on the partial updated component  
displayed. Why is it doing that and how can I fix it?

Unfortunately I don’t know anything about LiveTree, but I’m guessing  
you’re using Rails. You might try the Ruby on Rails mailing list:

My guess without you providing useful information would be (if you’re  
using Rails) that you failed to tell it what div you’d like it to  
replace via the div’s id.
