Hello Folks,  
I have a partial that it’s displayed only when the user select “yes” on  
a select box (I do that thru observe\_field)

The partial (\_text.rhtml) code is:

```auto
<p>you have selected YES</p>
```

And it is rendered within a div (id=“confirm”) on add\_object.rhtml

I would like the partial is showed using highlight so I added on  
add\_object.rjs this code:

```auto
page[:confirm].visual_effect :highlight
```

but it doesn’t work.

Where Am I wrong ???  
Have I to create a \_text.rjs and adding the visual effect in this file  
???

THANK YOU
