CSS not applied to AJAX renderPartial

I am having issues rendering a view via an ajaxLink. I am a newbie to Yii, but experienced with php.

Here are the relevant parts of my code:

–update.php–

<div class="EditMenuItem" id="Basic">

                <?php echo CHtml::ajaxLink('Basic Information', $base . "/index.php?r=/stylist/updateBasic",

                           array('update' => '#Update'))

                ?>

</div>

–StylistController.php–

public function actionUpdateBasic() {

        $email = Yii :: app()->user->id;

        $user = User :: model()->findByAttributes(array("email" => $email));

        $stylist = Stylist :: model()->findByPk($user->id);


        if (isset($_POST['User']) and isset($_POST['Stylist'])):


            $user->attributes = $_POST['User'];

            $stylist->attributes = $_POST['Stylist'];

            $user->save();

            $stylist->save();


        endif;


        $this->renderPartial('_basic', array('user'=>$user, 'stylist'=>$stylist), false, true);

        Yii::app()->end();

    }

–_basic.php–

just contains an ActiveForm widget. (screenshot = "output.png")

I would like the contents of the loaded view, _basic.php, to receive styles from form.css that I have already loaded in my main.php layout.

Fix:

Unrelated to ajax. I didn’t have the CActiveForm in a div tag of class “form”. This complies to the provided file form.css leftover from the test application that Yii generates.
