page.replace_html and <table>

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hello,

I have a page with a form and a div area that I update after submitting the form.

I want to replace the Div area with new information.

In the page, inside the div area, I have:

<div id="div_list">   <%= render :partial => "list" %> </div>

as I want to show the current records the first time the page opens.

The problem is after submitting, I the 'old values' of the Div remain in the Div, and now I have the new values with the old values. If I continue to add some new values, I get always on top the new ones and after the 'old ones', I get TWO tables, the new one and the old one.

How I can remove the old table ???

If for example I add some text on the top of the _list (partial included in the Div), this text gets removed but NOT the table.

Any ideas ?

I'm updating the div with a .js.rjs file: page.replace_html("div_listd", :partial => "list")

If in the page I don't put the <%= render :partial => "list" %>, I don't see the inital records (correct), and subsequent forms submitted show the resulted records ok, so the .js can replace the content of the Div area ...

very strange for me .......

thanks,

r.

Are you sure that your HTML is correctly nested?

Hi,

   To update particular part of the page with new information, you can use Ajax.Updater in .js file.
