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

To add to the accepted answer, I only got it to work after changing the js portion to the following:

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

Without the escape_javascript it was just rendering the partial in the background and not updating the view.
