Rails - Jul 2006 - AJAX Form, :postion => :bottom but replace when error?

I have a form below a table to add new notes to an item. If the note  
does not have a title or body, the note is not saved and a form error  
is displayed. However, if the note validates successfully, then the  
note is added to the bottom of the table above. Just for reference,  
the table id is "note_list" and the add form div is
id="note_add_form".

So, my problem/question is. Upon success, I want to update note_list  
appending to the bottom of the table, however, upon failure, I want  
to replace note_list *not* append to the bottom of it.

I can do something like this:

:update => { :success => ''note_list'', :failure =>  
''note_add_form''}, :position => :bottom

on my form tag and that works partially. When a note is added  
successfully, it''s appended to the bottom of the table. However, when  
a validation error occurs, the error message and a whole new form is  
appended to the bottom of the existing form. If I fail again, the  
note_add_form div will then have three forms, etc...

Is there a way to make this work?

Jeremy,

If you have a container div (or other structure) for note_add_form you can
use rjs and something like:

page.replace ''container_div_id'', ''html the you want
to replace with (i.e.
<div id=''list_fail''>You broked
it!</div>)''

What if the content I want to place it with is the rendered template?  
For instance:

		<%= error_messages_for ''note'' %>
