Rails - javascript not reloading divs via remote call -

i trying create timeline user can create events go on timeline. i've had working fine in past, have since updated version of rails 3.2.14, , no longer works. possibly syntactical error if has changed between versions, or have done wrong?

the timeline show view renders partials including timeline, , create/edit/destroy form partials events. understand it, form getting submitted, , should calling create.js.erb.

what happening when click 'create event', contents of page replaced standard "event created" notice (not 1 create.js.erb), , else disappears. event has been created though. can help?

timeline show view:

<div id="show-timeline"> <%= render :partial => "show_timeline" %> </div>  <div class="content-box timeline-box">     <div id="my-timeline-box">         <%= render :partial => "my_timeline" %>     </div> <br />  <button id="new-event-button" class="btn btn-success btn-large">new event</button> <button id="edit-events-button" class="btn btn-info btn-large">edit events</button> <button id="delete-events-button" class="btn btn-danger btn-large">delete events</button>  <div id="events-forms">     <div id="new-event">         <%= render :partial => "new_event", :locals => { :event => event.new(:timeline_id=>@timeline.id) }, :remote => true %>     </div>      <div id="edit-events">         <%= render :partial => "edit_events", :locals => { :events => current_user.events }, :remote => true %>      </div>      <div id="delete_events">         <%= render :partial => "delete_events", :locals => { :events => current_user.events } %>             </div> </div> <div id="events-forms-edit">&nbsp;</div>  </div> 

events/create.js.erb

$('#new-event').html('<%= escape_javascript( render :partial => "/timelines/new_event", :locals => { :event => event.new(:timeline_id=>@timeline.id) }, :remote => true ) %>'); $('.notice').html("<p>event created.</p>"); $('.notice').show(300); $('#my-timeline-box').html('<%= escape_javascript( render :partial => "/timelines/my_timeline" ) %>'); $('#show-timeline').html('<%= escape_javascript( render :partial => "/timelines/show_timeline" ) %>'); $('#edit-events').html('<%= escape_javascript( render :partial => "/timelines/edit_events", :locals => { :events => current_user.events }, :remote => true ) %>'); $('#delete_events').html('<%= escape_javascript( render :partial => "/timelines/delete_events", :locals => { :events => current_user.events } ) %>'); 

events controller create action:

def create     @event = event.new(params[:event])     @timeline = current_user.timeline      respond_to |format|       if @event.save         format.html { redirect_to @event.timeline, notice: 'event created.' }         format.json { render json: @event, status: :created, location: @event }         format.js        else         format.html { render action: "new" }         format.json { render json: @event.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }         format.js        end     end   end 

any appreciated!

update:

_new_event.html.erb

however, nothing getting rendered.

check if have following lines in top of application.js.coffee:

#= require jquery #= require jquery_ujs 

if you're not using coffee, lines should same starting //=.

it seems you're not requiring rails unobtrusive javascript library, form post treated html instead of js.

if have dependency covered, provide code javascript files related issue?
