I am trying to make a remote call to an action when I click a link on one page.

I have 'books' and 'haves' models. I have 'my_controller' . In the index.rhtml I have a link 'Add a book'. I am trying to replace the add_form in the same div where the list of books has been shown. When I click the link my form is showing twice along with some try catch blocks saying an RJS error. However I am not having any RJS involved in it.

Could somebody help me to resolve my problem.

Any help is very appreciated, and thanks in advance.

my index.rhtml code is

Well you do have some rjs right in the render :update block. You should both pass :update to link_to_remote and use render :update. It looks like your new_own action could just be render :partial => 'new_own'

Thanks! Fred

But I don't have any rjs code in :update block. I am passing :update to link_to_remote and using render :update. I am new to Ajax though I have done rails and ruby programming before. Could you please elaborate more on what should be doing? ?As I understand, I am already doing what you suggested me. Or I am missing or my bad.

Thanks

Oops, I meant 'You shouldn't both pass :update to link_to_remote and use render :update', quick slip of the keyboard there. And you do have rjs in your :update block (what do you think page.replace_html etc... is ?). Like I said if your action just renderered your partial it would probably be ok (although if you are expected render :partial => 'new_own' to render new_own.rhtml, it won't. It will render _new_own.rhtml)
