Rails - Apr 2009 - Does respond_to play nicely with render :update?

I have a custom format that I''m using called
''desktop''.

I have an action which is called via AJAX, and I''d like to update a div
in my page with a partial.

The request comes in with params[:format] == ''desktop'', and my
partial
is named _search_results.desktop.erb

However, when I do this in my action:

respond_to do |format|
  format.desktop {render :update do |page|
                   page.replace_html(''search_results'',
:partial =>
''search_results'')
                  end}
end

I keep getting errors about missing _search_results.html.erb.

Can you not use a custom format with the render :update do |page| idiom?

Thanks,
Wes

I think I remember an issue that when using custom formats you need to
give the full path the the partial like :partial => ''posts/
search_results''.

That doesn''t seem to work for me.

Try to include the extension -- :partial => ''posts/
search_results.desktop.erb''.

Dmitry

If I do this, it works:

page.replace_html(''search_results'', render(:partial => 
''search_results''))

Notice that originally, I was passing just the hash key/value pair, but 
now I am passing a render call.

According to the API docs:

"options_for_render may be either a string of HTML to insert, or a hash 
of options to be passed to ActionView::Base#render."

which is what I was doing that wasn''t working.  I wonder if what
happens
when I pass the render call, is that returns a string that is used in 
the replace_html call.

Thanks,
Wes
