Rails render not refrshing the page

I am working on ROR app . The app view contain ajax and jquery code :

jQuery.ajax({
  data:     'val=' + val,
  dataType: 'script',
  type:     'post',
  url:      "/portfolio/update"
});

The update action contain this code:

def update
  j = params[:val]

  # Buisness logic code
  redirect_to root_url, notice: "update done"
end

current View and Root url is same - Portfolio/show Now the button on view (which is root_url only)is doing the business logic fine , but the page is not getting refreshed , Whereas other simple form button on views are doing it. After pressing button i am getting this in rails server:

Rendered portfolio/show.erb (1.5ms)
Completed 200 OK in 24ms (Views: 4.1ms)

Any guesses, but the page is not refreshing by its own.

Ajax is used to provide functionality where page refresh is not desired. If you want page refresh, then you should rather use html form and submit button.

  <%= form_for %>
   .....
  <% submit %>

or with Ajax, you need to do it manually on success call back,

like this,

$.ajax({

 success: function(){
  window.location.reload();
 }
);

No guess needed. Your controller responded with wrong type.

redirect_to can only work under html response. When your request type is 'script' which is 'js', nothing can be rendered.

To correct it

def update
  # blah blah
  respond_to |format|
    format.html { redirect_to some_path }
    format.js # This will render default js template views/portfolio/update.js.erb
  end
end

Then prepare the js template

$('#div_to_update').html('new html code to update the view')
