Thank you for your response, But I am still confused where i can use
link_to_remote? whether from parent page link or child page link???.
After clicking on that link i have to close that window also.

Now I am using link_to_remote from parent page. while clicking on
that link it is opening child window.Now when i click on that result,
the request is going to controller.but its not updating div id of the
parent window.In development log i am able to see the the query which i
am passing from the child window.But after that nothing is happening.

When debugging ajax stuff, the firebug extension for Firefox is
really helpful; it lets you look at your DOM, as well as spy on the
http request and answer that comes back. It’s useful to see what the
server is actually sending…
