Rails - Apr 2006 - link_to_remote to update multiple components

How would go about to update multiple components when using 
link_to_remote?

I''ve got a button that lets you switch between languages and it has to 
update every component in my application (like, let''s say: the main 
screen, the top navigation bar and the search bar). Each component is 
created in a different DIV and whenever the language is switched, the 
entire application should reflect the change.

Using update_element_function is pretty much out of the equation because 
I can''t specify  a controller/action for content (instead of *ugh* just
plain html). Same goes for using rjs.

for something like that you should not be using submit_to_remote. It''s
going
to be much easier to just use a normal submit and post-back and do a
redirect_to that will refresh the entire app.

Using rjs is easier to update multiple dom response to each ajax 
request.you can do sth like this:

    render :update do |page|
      dom_partials_map.each do |domdiv,partialtemplate|
        page.replace_html domdiv, :partial=>partialtemplate
      end
    end
