Rails - Aug 2006 - Newbie Question: fom_tag_remote return HTML

Hi Everyone,
I am still only 1 week old on Rails and I am trying to implement an
AJAXy "Add comment" sheet. On the post for a new comment, I want to
use form_tag_remote. I would like to use a partial that I want to
render for the newly posted comment once the Submit happens. What is
the syntax to say, render a partial once the submit happens?

Thanks,
Vinod

# app/views/posts/show.rhtml
<%= form_remote_tag :url => {:action => :create_comment, :id =>
@post}
%>
  <%= text_area :comment, :body %>
  <%= submit_tag ''Submit Comment'' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

# posts controller
def create_comment
  @comment = Comment.new(params[:comment])
  @comment.post_id = params[:id]
  @comment.save
end

# app/views/posts/create_comment.rjs
page.insert_html :bottom, ''comments'',
         :partial => ''comment'', :locals => {:comment
=> comment}

That should be what you need.

oops, that last part should be:

page.insert_html :bottom, ''comments'',
         :partial => ''comment'', :locals => {:comment
=> @comment}
