Rails - Apr 2006 - Building Dynamic DOM Element IDs for RJS Templates

My element IDs are constructed using the object id.  So . . .

<div id="foo<%= foo.id %>" >
  <p><%= link_to_remote "Do Foo", :url =>{:action =>
"do", :id =>
foo.id} %>
</div>


How do, and can I, build that id in the RJS template?

Also, can anyone recommend a good Ruby syntax book that would help me 
out with Rails?  I know Java, so I don''t want a rehash of OO 
programming, I just want the meat of using Ruby.

Thx.

For learning Ruby you can''t go wrong with the Pickaxe book--Programming
Ruby by Dave Thomas, from the Pragmatic Programmers.

Or "Ruby for Rails" by David A. Black.  I highly recommend it.
