Rails - May 2006 - Newbie problem with Ajax and render partial

Hi all,

I''m having this problem that I''m sure will take most of you
all but two
seconds to solve, but I''m very much a newbie. I read the documentation,
googled for an answer, to no avail.

I have simple page that lists items, each item as a row in a table. Each 
item has a rating and a link to increment/decrement rating. When using 
+/- on a rating on the first item, it works fine. However, if done on 
any other item, it updates it in the database fine, but shows the first 
item being updated, until the page refresh. Here''s the code:

items.rhtml:
...
<table border="1" cellpadding="5"
cellspacing="0">
<% for item in @items %>
<tr valign="top">
  <table width="100%" border="1"
cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
  <tr height="20%">
    <td width="98%"><%= link_to h (item.description), :action
=> ''show'',
:id => item %></td>
	<td width="2%" align="right">
        <%= link_to_remote (''+'', :update =>
''rating_box'', :url =>{
:action => :increment_rating, :id => item.id})%>
	</td>
   </tr>
   <tr height="60%">
     <td width="98%"><%=h (truncate(item.text, 80))
%></td>
     <td width="2%" align="right"
id=''rating_box''>
         <%= render (:partial => ''rating_box'', :locals
=> { :item =>
item }) %>
     </td>
   </tr>
...


_rating_box.rhtml:

<%=h item.rating %>


items_controller.rb:
...
 def increment_rating
	 @item = Item.find(params[:id])
	 @item.rating = @item.rating + 1
	 @item.update_attributes(params[:item])
	 render(:partial => ''rating_box'', :locals => { :item
=> @item })
 end
...

Thank you very much for your help!

Hi Alex-

First, you should have double quotes around the ID field.

With this, you''re going to end up with a lot of ''td''
elements with the
ID "rating_box".  You should append the id (or some other unique 
identifier) to be able to discern them.  Appending the ID is simple and 
convenient.  You''ll just have:

... id="rating_box_<%= item.id %>" ...

That should help.  Unless I don''t understand the problem
you''re having.
