Once you have typical code in the controller to handle updates, you'll no longer have this problem. A typical update action redirects to show on success, and renders the edit template on failure. Either one, though, is *explicit*. As several posters here regularly say, I recommend you work your way straight through a good tutorial, such as https://www.railstutorial.org/.

your update action is blank. You have to render something or redirect to some other page. I mean it has to have some response.

Wow. Really find a newer tutorial. You are going to have such a translation problem between then and now that you are only going to hurt yourself. The only reason to mess with that version of Rails is if someone dumps a lot of money on you to upgrade it (rewrite it, at that distance) to current. The http://railstutorial.org is free to use on line and one of the best-written tutorials on any subject I have ever seen. It covers Rails 4.2, which is the current (soon to be less so with 5 coming out). I can't find a reference to Rails 1.9.3 (maybe you mean Ruby?), but if that's really the version, that's from 2007 or so. A lot has changed.
