Question

I have a form in a side bar, and when the form submits, I need to refresh only that particular partial from the side bar, not the entire page. The partial has a div id = “class-id” on it.

partial.html.haml

- if class
 // display some stuff
- else
  = form_for [Class.new], remote: true do |f| 
    .field
      = f.label :description
      = f.text_field :description      
    .actions
      = f.submit

I need to reload this partial after the submit is finished, so that the first if will be accessed.

Thanks

Answer 1

Create a view file as your action name, for example. – suppose your action name is create in user controller then in your view/users folder create a file create.js.erb and write below code in that file.

For jquery

$('class or id name').html("<%= escape_javascript render(:partial => 'whatever your your partial') %>")

For prototype

page.replace_html "class or id name", :partial => "whatever your partial to update"
