New to Ruby/Rails

[Ccraig]

Hello, I am new to this and have run into a problem. I have edited a column in MySql and I can see that it works fine. The problem I have is I need to refresh the view (hope thats the right term) to show the change. I have looked and come up with:

class test < ActiveRecord::Base
before_destroy :change_field

   def change_field      
      self.filed='0'
      update
      test.reload()
      
      #page.call 'location.reload'       
      return false     
    end

It doesnt work... so my question is... is there an easy way to force a refresh of the screen?

Thanks
