Rails - Apr 2006 - page.replace_html "#{var_containing_id_name}", :partial => ''edit''

The subject line says it all. -- Is there a way to do something like:

page.replace_html "#{var_containing_id_name}", :partial =>
''edit''

That line of code does not work, but I would like to pass the name of  
a variable to page.replace_html. This variable would contain the id  
of the div I want to update.

Anyone know if/how I could do that?

Thanks!

Convert the string with the ID name to a symbol?

page.replace_html var_containing_id_name.to_sym, :partial =>
''edit''

perhaps?

Jason,

What do you mean ''doesn''t work''? There is no effect?
An exception is raised?

Are you using the :update option for your remote link helper? If so, drop that.

A simple way to troubleshoot is to call the action in your browser and
see if the javascript being generated by RJS looks right.

Cheers,

Eddie
