when a user clicks on a link_to_remote I would like to it to render a view that i already have established. I know about page.redirect_to but that would force a refresh. Id like to do something like page.replace "an_existing_view" is this possible or would i have to convert the view into a partial first? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It is most common to have a partial for exactly that bit of the page that needs refreshing (if you''re using ajax to refresh the entire page then it seems to me like you might as well keep it simple and just do a non ajax update) but you shouldn''t have to do that.

thanks fred, what im doing is pertty much like gmail. I have links on my side nav equivalent to gmails "inbox" and "starred". When i click on inbox in gmail it renders the list of emails in my inbox without a refresh. Teh same with all "starred" etc. Id like that functionality. So i guess id have to extract that area of the screen into a partial and call it via a page.replace_html "the_partial" and for standard html responses just render the same partial in the actions view? right??? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

If you''re just updating that one page element you don''t even need replace_html, just do link_to_remote ''blah'', :update => ''some_id'', ... and have the corresponding controller render some (html) partial in the normal way, the results of the render will be used to update the page element with that id Fred> > > -- > Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
