Question

Is it possible to reload a page that was loaded thru link_to_remote? I’m doing this in my controller:

def create  if captchas_verified   do_something  else   render :action=>'new' end 

But when the captchas is wrong, it do not render a form that is inside of the new template. By the way, in the webserver log, it shows that the templades was rendered.

Thanks!

UPDATED: Today i changed the render to:

render(:update) { |page| page.call 'location.reload' } 

But it makes me update the page that called the link_to_remote not the page that was opened thru the link_to_remote

UPDATED 2: I fixed using page.replace_html ‘mydiv’, :partial => ‘new’ instead of page.call ‘location.reload’

You need to render :update, rather than render :action.

I do this sort of thing all the time. Similar to the response from jdl you can use inline rjs (don’t know if that’s the right term) to render the page.

render(:update) do |page|   page.replace_html('div_to_update', :partial => 'name_of_template', :object => @object)   page << 'alert('javascript can be inserted here as well')' end
