Rails - Oct 2005 - Partials as Content for update_element_function

I am attempting to update multiple elements by rendering partial templates 
from only one AJAX request.  I found a helpful exchange in the archives 
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/14215, but when I do 
exacty as suggested (putting javascript_tag helpers around the 
update_element_function since my partials have javascript and AJAX calls in 
them as well), I get lots of ''\n'' all over the rendered
sections and none of
the javascript included in the partial works.  What am I doing wrong?
