Hello,

I’ve got a list in a view and each of element of it has a link\_to\_remote  
and everything worked like a charm. Now I added AJAX pagination and the  
link\_to\_remote doesn’t work anymore.

This is the partial of the list:  
\<% for character in characters %\>  
\<%= character.name %\>  
\<%= link\_to\_remote t(’.add’), :url =\>  
add\_character\_activity\_path(@activity), :method =\> :get %\>  
\<% end %\>  
\<%= will\_paginate characters, :param\_name =\> param\_name %\>

The add\_character function in the controller is being called and doesn’t  
throw any error but the only thing that is not working anymore is the  
AJAX stuff in the add\_character.rjs which is being called after the  
function in the controller (of course):  
page.replace\_html “current\_number”, @current\_number

The current\_number is not being updated anymore. All I did was that I  
moved the \<% for …%\> from the view to a partial and added  
will\_paginate.

Does anyone know why this is not working anymore?

Thanks
