Rails - Nov 2006 - How to direct to an action in current controller

Hi all,
I want to create a link in a view which directs me to an action in the 
same controller. But the URL shouldn’t change. Does anyone know an easy 
way how to implement that?
If I write something like this : <%= link_to "Hello", { :controller
=>
"current_controller”}, :action => "myAction"} %>
then I need to define an rhtml file like myAction.html. But I don’t want 
that. I just want that the action ‘myAction’ in current_controller is 
called...
Cheers,
yussibaer

If you don''t want to have separate myAction.rhtml file, just add line:
render ''default''

in the end of your myAction code in controller
It will render file default.rhtml

You don''t have to have a myAction.rhtml file, you can always say
render :action => ''some_other_action'' to render that rhtml
file, or even
render :nothing => true to render nothing at all
