Ruby on Rails, update div on click with link_to_remote

I'm implementing a netflix-like 5 star review ratings. The goal is to have a "rating" div that serves both to enter the rating by clicking on one of the stars, as well to display the current rating. I want to update the "rating" after a users enters a new rating.

For now, I can add a rating and create the association to the rated asset, but can't refresh the "rating" div after the data is saved... What am I missing?

Ratings Controller:

  def create
    case params[:rating][:rateable_type]
    when "course"
      @course = Course.find(params[:rating][:rateable_id])
    end

    @rating = Rating.new(params[:rating])

    if @rating.save
      @course.ratings_sum += @rating.rating
      @course.save
      flash[:notice] = 'Rating was successfully created.'
      render :partial => "ratings/rating", :locals => { :asset => @course }
    end
  end

Ratings partial (ratings/_rating.html.erb):

<div id="rating">
<%= number_with_precision(asset.avg_rating, :precision => 1) %>/5 Stars<br>

<ul class='star-rating'>
    <li class='current-rating' style='width:<%= (asset.avg_rating * 17).to_s -%>px;'>
        Currently <%= number_with_precision(asset.avg_rating, :precision => 1) %>/5 Stars.
    </li>
    <li>
        <%= link_to_remote "1", :url => {:controller => "ratings", :action => :create},
            :update => 'rating', :partial => "ratings/rating",
            :rating => {:rateable_type => asset.class.to_s.downcase, :rateable_id => asset.id, :rating => 1},
            :method => :post, :class => 'one-star', :name => '1 star out of 5' %>
    </li>
    <li>
        <%= link_to_remote "2", ...
</ul>
</div>

Routes.rb:

map.resources :ratings

Output from the console:

And here is the code generated by "link_to_remote"

Found out how to solve it: I moved the "update" and "partial" parameters from the ratings partial to the Ratings > Create controller... Here is what it looks like now:

Ratings Controller: I changed the render options

  render :update do |page|
    page.replace_html  'star-ratings-block', :partial => 'ratings/rating', :locals => { :asset => @course }
  end

Partial "ratings/_rating.html.erb":

  <div id="rating_div">
    <%= number_with_precision(asset.avg_rating, :precision => 1) %>/5 Stars<br>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <%= link_to_remote "1", {:url => { :controller => "ratings", :action => :create,  
            :rating => {:rateable_type => asset.class.to_s.downcase, :rateable_id => asset.id, :rating => 1}}},
            :method => :post, :class => 'one-star', :name => '1 star out of 5' %>
      </li>
      ...
    </ul>
  </div>

The partial is included in the main view like that:

<div 'star-ratings-block'>
   <%= render "ratings/rating", :locals => { :asset => yourvariablehere }  %>
</div>

It now works as desired!
