What's calling the action? If you've passed an :update option to link_to_remote (or remote_function etc...) then you must not use render :update

Well, this is the form that calls the action (so there is no "remote_" to the form or submit tag).

<% form_for (:cv, :url => '/user/cvs', :html => { :multipart => true }) do |f| %>   <p>     Upload A CV:     <%= f.file_field :uploaded_data %>     <%= hidden_field_tag 'applicationfile_id', @applicationfile.id %>   </p>   <p>     <%= submit_tag 'Save' %>   </p> <% end %>

Everything gets uploaded correctly with it. But it doesn't update the page (the DIV/partial), but instead just displays the javascript code...

If it's just a regular post (ie not using remote_form_for) you can't use render :update.

If you need this to be Ajaxified use remote_form_for instead, also check out: http://www.caboo.se/articles/2007/4/2/ajax-file-upload, as you're uploading file data.
