Question

I have added the pjax javascript.

In my view I have:

<div data-pjax-container>
<%= yield %>
</div>

But still onclick the hole page updates.

Be sure you have included this line in app/assets/javascript/applications.js:

//= require jquery.pjax

Add an id attribute to the div:

<div id="target_pjax_container" data-pjax-container>
<%= yield %>
</div>

And make an explicit call to a pjax div from a link in your views:

<%= link_to 'user', user_path, :'data-pjax' => '#target_pjax_container' %>

Note:

The gem used is ‘pjax_rails’. Always check that javascript isn’t broken (with firebug or equivalent – You can also use it to sniff the network and view the pjax request).
