That's to be expected with your HTML. What you currently have will generate HTML that looks like the following if you have 3 reviews:
<p id='votes'>1 vote</p> <p id='votes'>2 votes</p> <p id='votes'>3 votes</p> $("#votes").html("3 votes") $("#votes").html("4 votes") $("#votes").html("5 votes") See the problem? The problem is that each paragraph tag has the same ID. jQuery will only update the first one. Each paragraph needs to have a unique ID, then your JavaScript to update the paragraph needs to update the specific unique ID. Including the primary key in the HTML ID is a good solution: <p id="review_<%= review.id %>"> Then your jQuery can update the specific paragraph that it needs to: $("#review_<%= review.id %>").html("<%= review.votes_count %>") -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
