how to render partial in rails with jquery

Question

I've been trying to follow another SO answer with no luck.

My main goal is to refresh the partial when I click a div

Maybe someone can help trouble shoot. It must be a syntax error (maybe..).

in my gobal.js I have:

$('.reset').on('click', function(){
      $(".friend").load('/users_controller/load_friend');
});

in my users_controller i have :

      def load_friend
        render :partial => 'friend_image'
      end

in my markup / haml I have:

 .friend
    =render 'friend_image'

the file / partial is under the users controller directory, and is named:

_friend_image.html.haml

where have I gone wrong? Let me know if you need more info.

error message:

localhost:3000/users_controller/load_friend 404 (Not Found)

this is the original example I have tried to follow: SO example

http://localhost:3000/users_controller/load_friend 404 (Not Found) — NoobSter, May 26 '15 at 01:27
the click is trying to load the partial it seems, but i'm not pointing to it correctly.. or did something wrong in the controller maybe. — NoobSter, May 26 '15 at 01:28
Have you added users_controller/load_friend action to routes.rb? — JGutierrezC, May 26 '15 at 01:34
run `rake routes` check if your route `users_controller/load_friend` exists — Leo Silence, May 26 '15 at 01:34
Must be the issue. Excuse the noob question, i've mainly used node and am trying to help out with a project on the front end, but would this be the proper way to setup the route: get 'load_friend', to: 'users#page_partial_loads_on' ? — NoobSter, May 26 '15 at 01:40

change $(".friend").load('/users_controller/load_friend'); to $(".friend").load('/users/load_friend');
