Rails - Feb 2006 - link_to_remote (AJAX) and tables: IE issues, validation?

I have a table that lists domain names, with a form next to it to add 
new domains.

I have AJAXified this so that new domains are immediately added as table 
rows. This works fine in Firefox 1.5/Win, but not in IE6/Win. Domains 
are added into the database, but the HTML table is not updated unless 
you reload the page.

Some googling tells me there are issues with e.g. link_to_remote 
updating tables in IE (I tried updating a div and that worked fine), so 
I''m simply asking if anyone knows of a decent solution, other than
going
non-AJAX, dropping IE support or using something other than a table.

Also, has anyone written code to get validations with link_to_remote? So 
if someone attempts to add a non-valid domain, you would get some sort 
of readable error message.

Some of my code:

View:

<%= form_remote_tag(
 :url => { :action => ''create'' },
 :update =>  "items",
 :position => :bottom,
 :complete => ''focus_field()'') %>

Controller:

  def create
    @domain = Domain.new(params[:domain])
    if @domain.save
      render(:partial => ''domain'', :object => @domain,
:layout => false)
    else
      #FIXME: No decent error handling yet - try adding duplicate 
domains
      render :action => ''new''
    end
  end

where "items" is a table and the domain partial a table row.
