apex:pageBlock & rerender

I have a <apex:form> and two <apex:pageBlock> in a page.

 

The reason for having two <apex:pageBlock> is, each get their own <apex:pageBlockButtons> 

 

Here is what my code looks like :

 

 

<apex:form >
<apex:pageBlock title="New" mode="edit" id="newPageBlock">
	<apex:pageBlockButtons location="top">
		<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!add}" rerender="current_data"/>		
		<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}" />
	</apex:pageBlockButtons>
	<apex:pageBlockSection title="new data" columns="1">	
	........																</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
 
<apex:pageBlock title="Update" mode="edit" id="current_data">
	<apex:pageBlockButtons location="top">
		<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!add}"/>
		<apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}" />
	</apex:pageBlockButtons>
	<apex:pageBlockSection title="update data" columns="1">
		<apex:outputPanel>
		........
		</<apex:outputPanel>															</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
 
 The idea is to rerender any new data in the update data.
 
 The above code does not work.
 
 My question is can I rerender between page blocks? How would I resolve this problem?
 
 Thanks a million

Hi SBK,
 
If the code that you posted is exactly what your page contains then you have an error on the closing tag of your outputPanel.
 
Here is a test page and controller that simulate what you are trying to do, and seem to work fine for me.
 
 
<apex:page controller="bTestController">
    <apex:form >
    <apex:pageBlock title="New" mode="edit" id="newPageBlock">
        <apex:pageBlockButtons location="top">
            <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!add}" rerender="current_data"/>
            <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}" />
        </apex:pageBlockButtons>
        <apex:pageBlockSection title="new data" columns="1">
        </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>

    <apex:pageBlock title="Update" mode="edit" id="current_data">
        <apex:pageBlockButtons location="top">
            <apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!add}"/>
            <apex:commandButton value="Cancel" action="{!cancel}" />
        </apex:pageBlockButtons>
    <apex:pageBlockSection title="update data" columns="1">
        <apex:outputPanel>
            {!timeStamp}
        </apex:outputPanel>
    </apex:pageBlockSection>
    </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>



public with sharing class bTestController {

    public String timeStamp { get {
        return DateTime.now() + '';
        } set; }

    public PageReference cancel() {
        return null;
    }


    public PageReference add() {
        return null;
    }

}
