Render current page with new data

Here is my simple ajax code.

The request is made, I get the response but my view does not get rendered with new data. I get a new page with new html that I asked to render instead being rendered inside current page.

controller -

    def list
    @users = User.find(:all)
    end

    def show
    respond_to do |format|
    format.html {   render :partial => "ajaxshow" }
    format.js
    end
    end

view -

<% @users.each do |c| %>
<%= link_to c.user_id, {:action => :show, :user_id => c.user_id, :remote => true } %>
<% end %>

partial -

# cat _ajaxshow.html.erb
<div  align="left" id="user_ajax">
<table width="1000px">
<tr><th>User ID</th><th>First</th><th>Last</th><th>ID</th><th>Email</th></tr>
</table>

log -

Started GET "/users/show?remote=true&user_id=someuser" for 10.10.10.10 at 2012-04-17 04:01:09 -0400
Processing by UsersController#show as HTML
  Parameters: {"remote"=>"true", "user_id"=>"someuser"}

Completed 200 OK in 2ms (Views: 1.3ms | ActiveRecord: 0.0ms)

Your link_to will not trigger the ajax call

  <%= link_to c.user_id, {:action => :show, :user_id => c.user_id, :remote => true } %>

First change the above code 

 <%= link_to c.user_id, {:action => :show, :user_id => c.user_id }, { :remote => true, :method => :get } %>

You need to have a .js.erb file for the User controller action which will be called through the format.js call.

In show.js.erb use

$('#some_div_id').html($('<%= render :partial => "ajaxshow" %>'))

Anyhow the purpose of your action seems obscure to me.
