Rails - May 2005 - Problem with render_partial and Ajax

I''m using a render_partial to show a newly added record, like so:

def add_new_thing
  @thing = Thing.new(@params[''thing''])
  if @thing.save
    render_partial ''thing_list_row'', @thing
  end
end

If my render_partial contains no form information, it gets rendered
correctly, so:

<tr><td><%= thing_list_row.name %></td></tr>

displays the newly added row, but if my template has a form:

<form>
<tr><td><%= thing_list_row.name %></td></tr>
</form>

Nothing happens. Note that the new thing does get created, but nothing
gets rendered in response. Any ideas?

A long shot, but is the form specific to only the table row (as it seems
from the above code) and if so, have you tried moving the form elements
into the td?

	<tr><td><form><%= thing_list_row.name
%></form></td></tr>

I don''t think the browsers likes the <form> elements to fall
between the
<table> and the <tr> elements. I also doubt it is standard
compliant.
