title: Div won't refresh with Ajax.ActionLink
body: <p>I am trying to use Ajax.ActionLink to refresh a list of items on my page.  I can get basic Ajax updates working in a test page without an issue, but in this particular case I'm not able to get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>My Index Controller and View are fairly simple (see below).  The Index View renders the List action, which is where my items are listed and my AjaxLinks are.  The AjaxLinks call an "UpdateStatus" action which changes the status of the item.  After that happens the List should no longer show that item so I return the List action.</p>
  
  <p>However, while the code all executes properly with no errors, the page does nt update or refresh.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone see my problem?</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Public Function Index(Optional ByVal status As String = "Pending") As ActionResult
  
          ViewBag.Status = status
          Return View()
  
      End Function
  
      Public Function List(Optional ByVal status As String = "Pending") As ActionResult
  
         'Code to populate the model with the filtered list is here'
  
          Return View(plvm)
      End Function
  
      Public Function UpdateStatus(ByVal id As Integer, ByVal status As String, ByVal actionStatus As String)
          'Code to update the status is here'
  
          db.SaveChanges()
  
          Return List(status)
      End Function
