Rails - Jan 2012 - render :partial from .js.erb doesn't render on second pass ...

VIEWS

contacts/new.html.haml
...
.contact_details
   = render :partial => "contacts/details"

contacts/_details.html.haml
..
 %b= regions_in_area(@area)   # from contacts_helper.rb  sending back
a string according to @area

upon a drop down change , an Ajax request is send to
contacts#change_area action  with a new area found :
  def change_area
    @area = Area.find(params[:id])
    render "contacts/change_area.js"
  end

and the change_area.js is very simple , replacing the .contact_details
$(''.contact_details'').replaceWith(
''<%escape_javascript(render :partial =>
"contacts/details") %>'');

this runs very well on the first drop down change, but on the second
change, even if the @area is changed and also the string from the
helper...  the new string is NOT displayed ...

what''s wrong in my code ?

thanks for your feedback

[SOLVED]  should use .htl() and not .replaceWith()
