    <p>I am having a difficult time trying to get my partial to refresh on button press. I want to simply refresh the div, and not the whole page. Here is what I have in the view:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="ajax"&gt; &lt;%= render 'layouts/confessions' %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then in my partial <code>_confessions.html.erb</code>, I have some basic html and two buttons similar to this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= form_tag( { :controller =&gt; :confessions, :action =&gt; :upvote, :id =&gt; conf.id }, { :method =&gt; :put } ) do %&gt; &lt;%= submit_tag 'Like' %&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; </code></pre> <p>My confessions_controller.rb:</p> <pre><code>def upvote @confession = Confession.find(params[:id]) Confession.increment_counter :upvotes, @confession respond_to do |format| format.js end end </code></pre> <p>And finally, <code>upvote.js.erb</code>:</p> <pre><code>$('#ajax').html("&lt;%= escape_javascript(render(:partial =&gt; 'confessions')).html_safe %&gt;"); </code></pre> <p>The action of submitting to my database is working, but the page is now redirecting to <code>/upvote?id=9</code> (id can be different), instead of just refreshing the div. What am I doing wrong? I am new to Rails, so I could be missing something completely obvious...</p> <p>EDIT: Here is my folder structure:</p> <p>My view: <code>views/pages/home.html.erb</code></p> <p>My partial: <code>views/layouts/_confessions.html.erb</code></p> <p>My Controller: <code>controllers/confessions_controller.rb</code></p> <p>My js.erb file: <code>views/confessions/upvote.js.erb </code></p> <p>After <code>rake routes</code></p> <pre><code> confessions GET /confessions(.:format) confessions#index POST /confessions(.:format) confessions#create new_confession GET /confessions/new(.:format) confessions#new edit_confession GET /confessions/:id/edit(.:format) confessions#edit confession GET /confessions/:id(.:format) confessions#show PUT /confessions/:id(.:format) confessions#update DELETE /confessions/:id(.:format) confessions#destroy upvote /upvote(.:format) confessions#upvote downvote /downvote(.:format) confessions#downvote root / pages#home </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
