1. $('#edit_form_submit').live('click', function(e) {
2. $('#node_edit_form').ajaxSubmit({
3. target : '#node',
4. success: function(data, textStatus, xhr) {
5. console.log("success");
6. },
7. error: function() {
8. console.log("error");
9. }
10. });
11. return false;
12. });

I want to show the user via http-status code if the edit was success or failure but if I send back content allways the success-callback is triggered doesn't matter if http-status code is 4XX

2. def update
3. @node = Node.find(params[:id])
4. @node.update_attributes(params[:node])
5. if @node.save
6. render :partial => 'edit', :status => :ok
7. else
8. render :partial => 'edit', :status => :unprocessable_entity
9. end
10. end

only if I revome the rendered content from the response the error callback is triggered.

is there anything else to send back from the server?
