I am making a simple app which has just a few screens and I would like to do it with a single html file. The file has all of the difffernt componants of each screen in hidden div''s which I want to make visible and place as the visitor moves through the site. I can see that RoR has the ability but I am not quite getting it. The path is roughly login -> modify account -> submit data -> alter data -> logout pretty straight forward. Instead of having each of the views seperate is ther ea way to make them all the same and just turn on or off the needed div''s? thanks for any input. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I would set up a partial for each componant you need to display, then use ajax and rjs to update the page with the relevant partial. I think it''s going to get confusing later if you have too much data in a single view.

Which means you have one main html file e.g. index.rhtml that some other partial pages e.g. _mod_account.rhtml, _alter_data.rhtml. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
