Hi, I implemented the partial, in order to make a live search with Ajax. Both works, but there is a problem - my records are a set of rows in a table, and the table has some header and footer data (with <th> tag), that I need to show with the filtered (searched) set of records also. It initially shows fine from the ''list'' action (when no filtering/ search is done). But after I type something in the search box, the results are returned ok, but no synchronozation with the table. I call the partial from my view, and have a method ''search'' in my controller: def search items_per_page = 10 @server_pages, @servers = paginate :servers, :order => ''server_name'', :per_page => items_per_page, :conditions => ["lower(server_name) like ?", "%" + params[:search].downcase + "%"] if @servers.size > 0 render :partial => ''server'', :collection => @servers else render :text => "<li>No results found</li>", :layout => false end end Here is the partial ''_server.rhtml'': <tr class="<%= cycle("record", "even-record") %>" > <td><%= server.server_name -%></td> <td><%= server.server_type.server_type_desc -%></td> <td><%= server.platform.platform_name -%></td> <td><%= server.environment.environment_name -%></td> <td><%= link_to ''Edit'', {:action => "edit", :server_id => server.server_id} %></td> <td><%= link_to "Delete", {:action => ''delete'', :server_id => server.server_id}, :confirm => "Are you sure you want to delete this Server?" %></td> <td><%= link_to ''App Servers'', {:action => "show_app_servers", :server_id => server.server_id} %></td> <td><%= link_to ''DB Servers'', {:action => "show_database_servers", :server_id => server.server_id} %></td> <td><%= link_to ''DB Conns'', {:action => "show_db_conns", :server_id => server.server_id} %></td> </tr> And lastly, here is the view ''list.rhtml'': <%= text_field_tag :searchQuery %> <img id="search-icon" src="/images/search-icon.gif" style="display: none;" /> <div id="table"> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr class="header-row"><th colspan="100">Servers</th></tr> <tr class="header-row"> <th>Server Name</th> <th>Server Type</th> <th>Platform</th> <th>Environment</th> <th colspan="5"></th> </tr> <%= render :partial => ''server'', :collection => @servers %> </table> </div> <%= observe_field( :searchQuery, :frequency => 0.5, :update => ''table'', :before => "Element.show(''search-icon'')", :success => "Element.hide(''search-icon'')", :url => { :controller => ''server'', :action=> ''search'' }, :with => "''search='' + encodeURIComponent(value)" ) %> Having tough time...
