Hi,

I am trying to update a paginated collection of photo objects after a  
form\_tag\_remote call. I have a partial that renders the collection, and  
then executes will\_paginate on the updated collection.

When the page is first rendered, and I look at the source, and the  
pagination links appear correct: i.e. [2](https://www.ruby-forum.com/photos?page=2)

However, once I have added an object to the collection, when will  
paginate is called on the updated collection, the links have this  
format:

[2](https://www.ruby-forum.com/photos/[action%20called%20by%20form_remote_tag]?[serialized%20params%0Ahash%20for%20form_remote_tag%20call])

I assume that this is because will\_paginate uses the name of the action  
to determine which to call? Why does it insert the old params hash into  
the link…?

Thank you.
