Hi,

I am trying to update a field (date_accepted) in my view by clicking a button and using AJAX link_to_remote. The field is being updated but then the progam bombs with "Template is missing Missing template script/../config/../app/views/admin_client/accepted.rhtml"

This is my code: Controler "admin_client"

def accept_list   @consultant = session[:consultant]   @clients = Client.list_clients(@consultant)   render :layout =>'admin_client', :action => 'accept_list'   end

  def accepted     begin       @client = Client.find(params[:id])     rescue ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound       logger.error("Attempt to access an invalid product #{parems[:id]}")       redirect_to :action => :accept_list     else        @client.date_accepted = Date.today        @client.update_attributes(params[:client])     end end

This is my view "accept_list"

<% for client in @clients -%>

<div class="main">

  <table width="90%" boader="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">     <tr>       <td colspan="3" align="left"><h3><%= h(client.primary_whole_name) %></h3></td><td><h4><label for="id" >Quote No.:</label></h4></td><td><h4><%= h(client.id) %></h4></td>     <tr>         <td><%= h(client.addr1) %></td><td><label for="w_ph"

Work:</label></td><td><%= h(client.w_ph) %></td>

        <td><div id="accepted"><label for="date_accepted" >Date accepted:</label></td><td><h4><%= h(client.date_accepted) %></h4></td>         <td><%= link_to_remote( "Accept",                          :update => "accepted",                          :url =>{ :action => :accepted, :id => client }) %></div></td> <!-- <td><%= button_to 'Accept', :controller => 'admin_client', :action => 'accepted', :id => client %></td> -->     </tr>     <tr>         <td><%= h(client.suburb) %></td><td><label for="h_ph"

Home:</label></td><td><%= h(client.h_ph) %></td>

        <td><label for="date_follow_up" >Date follow up:</label></td><td><%= h(client.date_follow_up) %></td>     </tr>     <tr>         <td><%= h(client.city) %></td><td><label for="mobile"

Mobile:</label></td><td><%= h(client.mobile) %></td><td><label

for="date_entered" >Date captured:</label></td><td><%= h(client.date_entered) %></td><td><%= link_to 'Show', :controller => 'quote', :action => 'show_consultant', :id => client %></td>     </tr>     <tr>         <td><%= mail_to(client.email, h(client.email),                             :subject => "Your Quote",                             :encode => "javascript") %></td><td><label for="fax" >Fax:</label></td><td><%= h(client.fax) %></td><td><label for="tot_value" >Total value of Quote (ex. gst) :</label></td><td align="left"><h4><%= format_price(client.tot_value) %></h4></td><td></td></tr>   </table>

</div>

<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div> <% end %>

advice will be most appreciated.

Regards,

Paul

I think you need to tell Rails what to render, as I did above. It seems like maybe Rails should already know that you're rendering via JS given that you've specified the :update clause, but I don't think it's quite that smart. Personally, I've found that it's easier to keep straight if I just use RJS, even if there's only one element to update and I could use :update instead.
