page.replace_html :template => 'index'

Hi

I have an index.rhtml which is the default view.

I have a form that is loaded/opened using rjs. If the info does not save, I have ajax error_messages_for that shows the user what is wrong. This works nicely, however, if the info is correct and the records are saved, I would like to present the index page again.

Ideally, I would just redirect_to :action => ‘index’ in my view, but the call comes from a form_remote_for which does not like the redirect_to.

So, what I am trying to do at the moment is to

if saved render (:update) do |page| page.replace_html ‘content’, :template => ‘index’ end else render (:update) do |page| page.replace_html ‘form’, :partial => ‘form’

end end where content div is the div that receives @content_for_layout.

I get rjs error html has no properties

Element.update(“content”,null);

Can anyone explain to me what is happening here, and/or how to fix it.

regards Ivor

You can use page.redirect_to ... within your RJS.

add :update => "content" in your form_remote_for tag eg. <% form_remote_for(@object,:url => {:action => 'update'},                             :update => "content") do |f| %> <% end %>

and in your controller   if saved     render :template => 'index'   else     render (:update) do |page|       page.replace_html 'form', :partial => 'form'     end   end

its working.
