I have a div around the tbody section of a table. I want the entire tbody removed and replaced. Doesn’t seem to be working though. Is there a problem with page.replace and tables ?

Well, I’m experiencing the problem in Firefox , not in IE. Anyway I tried the suggestion about remove and insert, the remove works, the insert doesn’t.
In the page that loads
\<%= render :partial =\> 'addrow'%\>
Notice I surrouned the partial with a div, so in the RJS -
page.remove ‘some\_div’ page.replace\_html ‘firstdiv’, :partial =\> ‘addrow’
I tried page.insert\_html ‘after’, 'firstdiv", :partial =\> ‘addrow’
Same results. Page.remove works, page insert or replace does not.
Any reason why ?
