Rails 6: Ajax not accepting render in js.erb – Jquery ajax

I am trying to display the results of a SHOW action using AJAX.

in the show.js.erb, this renders properly:

$('#someid').html("<p>regular html</p>")

and this renders the name of the selected @category

$('#someid').html("<%= j render @categories %>")

but does not work when trying to render the associated SHOW view (show.html.erb):

$('#someid').html("<%= j render 'show', category: @category %>")

the errors i recieve is as follows:

ActionView::Template::Error (Missing partial categories/_show with {:locale=>[:en], :formats=>[:js, :html, :text, :css, :ics, :csv, :vcf, :vtt, :png, :jpeg, :gif, :bmp, :tiff, :svg, :mpeg, :mp3, :ogg, :m4a, :webm, :mp4, :otf, :ttf, :woff, :woff2, :xml, :rss, :atom, :yaml, :multipart_form, :url_encoded_form, :json, :pdf, :zip, :gzip], :variants=>[], :handlers=>[:raw, :erb, :html, :builder, :ruby, :jbuilder]}.

):
    1: $('#someid').html("<%= j render 'show', category: @category %>")
  
app/views/categories/show.js.erb:1

what can I do to render show.html.erb?

    you should change folder show.html.erb -> _show.html.erb
    because it is templale partial to render

    Answer on the behalf of OP:

    The issue, in the end, was that the show.html.erb needed to be named
    _show.html.erb

    I was looking at the browser errors and not the rails server errors. I
    posted the errors still, to document my solving process.

    I was able to see that in this line in the error

    ActionView::Template::Error (Missing partial categories/_show with {:locale=>[:en], .......

    Had the underscore before show.html.erb, something not immediately
    apparent to me upon using AJAX for the first time.
