Rails - Aug 2006 - Using multiple controllers within the same page

I have a page that I want to use data from several tables.   I wanted to 
split these into their own div''s but I do not know how to access the 
different part''s controllers.  There are seperrate controllers because
I
developed the parts seperately.

Has anyone done this?

Thanks!

Look at render_component on api.rubyonrails.com or you could make partials
of the tables and render them accordingly.

Render_component should be avoided. We are being encouraged to use partials
and helpers.

You can do this with AJAX :

# in application_helper.rb

  def into_div options={}
    "<script>
new Ajax.Updater( ''#{options[:update]}'',''#{url_for
options[:url]}'',
{asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true})
             </script>"
  end

# Then, in the view you want to show some view of another controller :

<div id="my_div"></div>
<%= into_div :update=>
:my_div,:url=>{:controller=>''controller_x'',:action=>:abc
%>

# maybe I misunderstood your question, anyway......
