Question

I have a form successfully submitting data via ajax, but I can’t figure out how to trigger an event after the ajax action. I’d like to reload the partial containing the form after a new record is submitted.

View

#container
  #partial
   <%= form_for [@qa, @newpdd], :remote => true do |f| %>
    ....
   <%= f.submit "add %>

PDD Controller

def create
@pdd = Pdd.create!(params[:pdd])
@pdd.qa_id = params[:qa_id]
@qa = Qa.find(params[:qa_id])

respond_to do |format|
  if @pdd.save
    format.html { redirect_to(@qa, :notice => 'Pdd was successfully created.') }
    format.xml  { render :xml => @pdd, :status => :created, :location => @pdd }
    format.js
#    render :partial => pddsection
  else
    format.html { render :action => "new" }
    format.xml  { render :xml => @pdd.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity }
  end
end
end

create.js.erb

$('#partial').replaceWith("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'pdds/partial') %>");

Any ideas?

I ended up abandoning the :remote => true condition in the form as demonstrated in this rails cast:

Railscast 136

Everything now works as expected. Thanks for the help.
