Thanks for the idea Jeff. -- Unfortunately, it doesn''t seem to work.

Jason

you mean like this?

def do_some_ajax_thing
  @element_id = "content_div"
end

do_some_ajax_thing.rjs

page.replace_html @element_id, :partial => "edit"

remember, the view templates have access to the attributes defined in the
controller

I just did some experimenting, and I got this work to just fine 
(adapting from Cody Fauser''s template example:

add.rjs:

page.insert_html :bottom, ''list'',
                 content_tag("li", "Fox")
page.visual_effect :highlight, ''list'', :duration => 3
var_containing_id_name = ''animals''
page.replace_html var_containing_id_name,
                  ''RJS Template Test Complete!''

Where is your var_containing_id_name defined?  If it''s defined in your 
controller, then try using an instance variable, 
@var_containing_id_name.  Your view templates won''t have access to any 
local variables defined in your controller.
