Rails - Jul 2006 - Ajax page.replace_html model validation errors

I have the following setup:

A model: that validates using helpers like: validates_presence_of, etc..
A view: called ''new'' which renders a partial
The partial: _form  which has  error_messages_for and a  
form_remote_tag , submit_tag and end_form_tag

An action ''create'': that gets executed via the submit_tag in
the
_form and which
in case it can''t save, it renders a rjs template, that replaces the  
html in the view with the _form
so as to present it to the user again along with the associated error  
messages from the failed validation.

The rjs template called ''fixer'' that does: page.replace_htm

The problem:
If the action ''create'' can''t save because of an error
on the
validation process, say validates_presence
detects an empty field, then the ''create'' action will render
the
''fixer'' rjs which has a  page.replace_html that replaces
the old _form in the view with a new one along with the error  
messages from the failed validation.

So if that happens, I am getting in the view javascript trash and the  
_form rendered twice.
I don''t know why. Here is the code:


I have a view called ''new'' that renders a partial definded
like this:

<%= error_messages_for ''fotografoinfo'' %>

<div id="info2">
	<%= render (:partial  => ''form'') %>
</div>



the partiall _form has this:

<%= error_messages_for ''fotografoinfo'' %>

<%= form_remote_tag(:update => "info2", :url => {:controller
=>
''admin'', :action => ''create''}) %>

<p><label
for="fotografoinfo_nombre">Nombre</label><br/>
<%= text_field ''fotografoinfo'', ''nombre'' 
%></p>

<%= submit_tag "Register" %>
<%= end_form_tag %>


the ''create'' action in the controller looks like this:

   def create
     @fotoinfo = Fotografoinfo.new(params[:fotografoinfo])
     if @fotoinfo.save
       flash[:notice] = ''Fotoinfo was successfully created.''
       redirect_to :action => ''list''
     else
       render :action => ''fixer''
     end
   end


Then I have a rjs called fixer.rjs with this:

page.replace_html ''info2'', :partial =>
''form''


Well it is not working, I get the partiall rendered two times into  
the view ''new'' and
there is a lot of javascript text and an error that says:


try { Element.update("datos_info2", "
1 error prohibited this fotografoinfo from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

     * Nombre : Llena la informaci?n

\n \n
\n\n\n

Nombre
\n

\n\n

\n\n\n\n \n
\n\n\n"); } catch (e) { alert(''RJS error:\n\n'' +
e.toString()); alert
(''Element.update(\"info2\", \"
1 error prohibited this fotografofacturainfo from being saved

There were problems with the following fields:

     * Nombre : Llena la informaci?n

\n \n
\n\n\n

Nombre

\n\n

\n

\n\n\n\");''); throw e }




please help
