Rails - May 2006 - Using RJS in views without ajax

Hi!

I can use RJS in views like this (without using ajax):

<%=link_to_function("switch fields",
update_page do |page|
page.insert_html :before, ''date'',
date_select(''exhibition'', ''date'')
page.remove ''date''
end) %>

Is there a way to move this RJS code into a function to separate file?
.js files are not parsed as rjs so it won''t work. Can i just include 
.rjs file like ordinary .js file?

You can include the action with the same name as the RJS, ie
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/controller/action_with_rjs_file" />
That should work, I''ve done that before.

Thanks.

But this way this action will be executed when the page is loaded. Can i 
somehow execute this action on demand using link_to_function?

I could probably create helpers for rjs link_to_function calls, it
won''t
be perfect, but it should work and the code in views will be a bit 
cleaner.
