You probably want to use $("#allclick").update instead of $("allclick").update

Note the # that indicates you are selecting an element by the ID.

I'm using $("#allclick").update

after doing some googling I got the answer

wrong way :
$("#allclick").update("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial =>
"goclick")) %>");

====================================================================
correct way :
$("#allclick").html("<%= escape_javascript(render(:partial =>
"goclick")) %>");

====================================================================
Instead of update now I'm using html

Update would work perfectly if you were using Prototype.js instead of jQuery.
