how can I display nothing with RJS

hey all, I would like to do something like: if @mything.update_attributes(params[:mything])      render_a_blank_page end

I tried something like: if @mything.update_attributes(params[:mything]) render :update do |page|      page << nil    end

but I get an RJS error.

Any idea how to do this?

thanx in advance

If you’d like your RJS action to do ‘nothing’, render :nothing => true works fine. If you’d like your whole page to be redirected to a blank page, do page.redirect_to “/blank.html” where blank.html is a blank html file.

render :nothing => true

Note: in Safari, this renders a single space.
