I''m sure I''m missing something obvious, but I''m stumped. I have a tabbed nav bar with an associated content area that is used to display query results. Clicking a tab, rebuilds the nav bar with that tab now highlited, performs the query and renders the results to a separate div. I''m using an RJS template which calls page.replace_html with the various partials. So far, so good. The problem I''m having is the default case. The first time the page is loaded, I need to highlite the default tab and display the data for that query. I can''t seem to make this work. If I use link_to_remote, ala the tabs, it works fine. But that requires the user to click something to get the status. What am I missing here? jw
