New to Grails and this may be simple problem.

I am trying to save some values to database, so I created a simple form with two text fields and a button in GSP (info.gsp). When button (update) is pressed it calls method update() on the controller & saves the change. Good till here.

And I want to show “saved ” on the same gsp (info.gsp) with the saved new values. render takes me to a new page.

Please help how to do it.

thanks
Sana

    On the action that is saving your object render the value you want to display for example 

        def save() {
       println params
       def bookInstance = new Book(params)
       if (!bookInstance.save(flush: true)) {
          render "not saved"
       }
       flash.message = message(code: 'default.created.message', args: [message(code: 'book.label', default: 'Book'), bookInstance.id])
       render bookInstance.id // "saved!!!!"
}

    and on your view update a placeholder using its ID. In my example, submitToRemote has a update attribute that will take care of it. Hope this code helps

    <html>
<head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
    <meta name="layout" content="main"/>
    <r:require modules="jquery"/>
    <g:javascript library="application" /> 
    <modalbox:modalIncludes />
</head>
<body>
    <g:form name="myform" action='save'>
            book: <input name="name" type="text" />
            <g:submitToRemote action='save' update="updateMe" name="myname"/>
    </g:form>
    <div id="updateMe">
    </div>
</<body>
