I am having problems utilizing the ":update => {:success => ''item_list''}" option for form_remote_tag. How do I indicate to form_remote_tag that the function "create" was successful? If I just use the line ":update => "item_list" everything works fine, except that when I get an error, the error message is added to the ''item_list'' div tags since I can''t distinguish a failure from a success. my app/views/item/index.rhtml for the controller in question is: <%= form_remote_tag :url => {:action => :create}, :position => "top", :update => {:success => ''data_list''}, :loading => ''item_loading()'', :complete => ''item_added()'' %> <%= render :partial => "form" %> <%= end_form_tag %> my app/controllers/item_controller.rb is: def create @item = Item.new(@params[:item]) if @item.save render :partial => "item", :object => @item else render :text => "form error" end end I am using ruby 1.8.2 and rails 0.13.1 on lighttpd 1.3.13 and webrick 1.3.1 Thanks, Mark
