render partial on click

Question

I would like to call partials on some standard operations. I am using this method for calling the partial:

 %li= link_to \'Delete Event\', \'javascript:void(         


        

Answer 1

You can do that with javascript like:

<%= link_to "Delete", delete_content_path, :remote => true %>

The action in your corresponding controller then will be this:

My Controller:

def delete_content
  respond_to do |format|               
    format.js
  end        
end 

Then you can create the delete_content.js.erb inside your correct directory of the link and there you put the following code:

delete_content.js.erb

$('#div_id').html("<%= render :partial => 'my_partial' %>");

Then in your view:

delete_content.html.erb

#this div is html div that will render your partial

Don't forget to put your partial _my_partial.html.erb in the same folder.
